Ask & Instruct Shopify Sidekick to Manage Avada Fraud Filter
Avada Fraud Filter now works with Shopify Sidekick, the AI assistant built into your Shopify Admin. Ask Sidekick questions about suspicious orders, blocklists, and fraud rules - or tell it to take action directly, like updating your blocklist or toggling a rule - all without leaving your current page.
Prerequisites
- Avada Fraud Filter must be installed on your store.
- Shopify Sidekick must be available on your store (Shopify is rolling this out gradually to all Admin accounts).
Open Sidekick
Click the Sidekick icon in the top-right corner of Shopify Admin.
Ask or tell Sidekick about Avada Fraud Filter
Type your question or instruction in plain language. Sidekick recognizes Avada Fraud Filter and either pulls the relevant data straight from your store or carries out the action for you.
What you can ask or tell Sidekick to do
| Example question or instruction | What Sidekick does |
|---|---|
| "Any suspicious orders recently?" | Shows recent flagged orders and their risk score |
| "How many IPs or emails am I blocking?" | Summarizes your current blocklist |
| "Which fraud rules are active?" | Lists active rules and how often each one has triggered |
| "Add this email to my blocklist" | Adds the specified email to your blocklist |
| "Turn off the [rule name] rule" | Disables the specified fraud rule |
Sidekick reads live data from your store, so answers always reflect your current rules and blocklist. Actions Sidekick performs are applied directly to your Avada Fraud Filter settings.
Tips
- If Sidekick doesn't recognize a question or instruction about Avada Fraud Filter, try rephrasing using the setting or metric name (for example, "blocklist" instead of "banned IPs").
- Sidekick complements the app - use the Dashboard for full order review, and Sidekick for a quick answer or action while you're working elsewhere in Admin.
