Integrating BotRefund with Shopify to Safeguard Your Ad Spend
Quick answer
BotRefund can be integrated with any Shopify store by inserting a short JavaScript snippet into your theme. The setup takes roughly one minute, after which BotRefund begins monitoring traffic and protecting your Google and Meta ad budgets.
How to add BotRefund to Shopify
- Get the script. Sign up for a BotRefund account and copy the provided snippet.
- Edit your theme. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code. Open the
theme.liquid(orlayout/theme.liquid) file. - Paste the snippet. Insert the script just before the closing
</head>tag and save. - Verify installation. Use the BotRefund dashboard to confirm the script is active; you’ll see real‑time bot‑click detection within minutes.
Common mistake to avoid
Placing the snippet in the wrong file (e.g., a page template instead of the global layout) limits coverage and may miss bot traffic on other pages.
Next step after installation
Run the free bot audit offered by BotRefund. The audit reviews historic ad spend, identifies fraudulent clicks, and outlines a recovery plan.
How BotRefund can help
BotRefund provides a lightweight JavaScript tag that works on any web platform, including Shopify. Once installed, it detects bot‑generated clicks using signals such as ghost clicks, honeypot traps, and super‑human input speed. The service then negotiates refunds with Google and Meta on your behalf, turning fraudulent spend into recovered revenue.
To use BotRefund you must have access to edit your Shopify theme files and an active Google or Meta ad account. The solution does not require a credit card for the initial setup, and you can begin a free audit immediately after installation.
