Bot Protection: Cart Settings + App Shortlist

Help me reduce bot impact on my Shopify store:

Store Context:

  Store URL: [YOUR STORE URL]
  Are you experiencing bot issues currently: [YES/NO, describe if yes]
  Do you sell limited-edition or high-demand items: [YES/NO]
  Monthly traffic volume: [APPROXIMATE SESSIONS, e.g., 50,000/month]


Bot Threats I’m Trying to Address:

  Inventory hoarding bots that add items to cart without purchasing
  Credential stuffing attacks on customer login pages
  Price and content scraping bots
  Automated checkout bots buying limited items before real customers


What Sidekick can do directly in my admin:

  Open Settings > Checkout and review my current cart/inventory reservation window; recommend a shorter hold time (e.g., 5-10 minutes) for [PRODUCT/DROP NAME] to reduce how long hoarding bots can lock up stock without buying
  Pull recent order and checkout data to flag any abnormal add-to-cart-without-purchase patterns worth investigating


What Sidekick can research for me (app comparison, not installation):

  Shortlist bot/fraud-protection apps in the Shopify App Store that cover CAPTCHA, rate limiting, and credential-stuffing protection, with a feature and pricing comparison for budget [BUDGET, e.g., $20-50/month]
  Note which of those apps also offer CDN-level bot management, so I know whether I still need a separate Cloudflare-style setup


CAPTCHA, honeypot fields, JavaScript challenges, and CDN/firewall-level bot management have to be configured outside Shopify admin — Sidekick can point me to the right app or docs but can’t set those up itself.
