Store sessions spiking because of foreign traffic

Yeah you’re not alone, this wave has been hammering stores for months and a lot of merchants are stuck on the same thing. Quick reality check on Blockify and similar apps: they block at the storefront/Liquid level, so the page already loaded and Shopify counted the session before the redirect kicked in. No way around that on standard plans because you can’t put a real firewall in front of Shopify’s edge.

While this is going on, stop trusting blended conversion rate. Segment by country and look at the rate just for the markets you sell to. That’s your real number.

Best,
