REVENUE
They take the sale
Sneaker bots and scalpers can reach add-to-cart and checkout faster than a person, consuming limited inventory and frustrating real customers.
Feature / Bot protection
Stop bots before
they reach Buy.
Skyfense spots automated visitors before they can grab limited stock, copy your catalog, test stolen cards, or mess up your sales numbers — all without making real shoppers solve a puzzle.

Why it matters
Bots cost more than
the transaction.
DATA
They pollute the signal
Scrapers, fake shoppers, and automated ad clicks inflate traffic and conversions, making it harder to understand what is actually working.
OPERATIONS
They create hidden work
Card testing, credential stuffing, and unwanted crawlers consume infrastructure and leave your team investigating symptoms after the damage.
How Skyfense detects bots
Layered signals
beat one trick.
Browser and device identity
Canvas, WebGL, audio, fonts, screen geometry, WebGPU, and other signals expose emulated or inconsistent environments.
Human behavior
Mouse trajectories, typing rhythm, click offsets, scroll timing, focus changes, and event replay reveal scripted interaction.
Automation and network context
Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, WebDriver, headless APIs, software GPU renderers, datacenter IPs, VPNs, Tor, and fake crawlers are checked together.
Checkout intent
Clicks within 1.5 seconds of page load, untrusted script-dispatched clicks, straight-line trajectories, and automated form filling raise checkout-abuse signals.
What happens next
One verdict.
Three possible actions.
Allow
Consistent browser, network, and behavior signals let the shopper continue normally.
Challenge
Mixed evidence can trigger an invisible proof-of-work challenge. It is signed to the session and expires after 10 minutes.
Block
Strong evidence, or two or more strong signals, blocks the session. The verdict and reasons are available for review.
No black box
See exactly why
a session was blocked.
The dashboard stores the risk score, verdict, classification, individual signals, and raw captured state. Your fraud and engineering teams can inspect a decision instead of trusting an unexplained number.
Questions, answered
Bot protection questions
What store owners ask about stopping bots without hurting real customers.
Will Skyfense block real customers by mistake?
Skyfense is built to avoid false alarms. It weighs positive human signals, treats private and incognito browsing fairly, and reserves hard blocks for strong evidence or several strong signals appearing together.
Can it stop sneaker bots and scalpers?
Yes. Skyfense watches the add-to-cart and checkout moment for the tell-tale signs of bots, such as clicks that happen within a second of the page loading, scripted clicks, and unnaturally straight mouse paths to the buy button.
Do my shoppers have to solve a CAPTCHA?
No. Protection is invisible. If a session looks risky, Skyfense can run a silent background check instead of showing a puzzle, so real shoppers are not interrupted.
