AntiCopy for Shopify: Protect Your Store from Content Theft, AI Bots and Unwanted Traffic

Your product photos, descriptions and blog posts take hours to create, and they can be copied in seconds. AntiCopy is a Shopify app that keeps your store's content, images and traffic safe. It stops visitors from copying text and saving images, turns away AI agents and scrapers, blocks unwanted countries and IP addresses, and adds a cookie banner and age verification, all from one simple dashboard.

Why protect your store content?

Copied product photos and descriptions show up in competitors' stores, in fake shops and in marketplace listings. Duplicate content can also hurt your search ranking, and today AI assistants and scrapers can read and copy an entire store in minutes. AntiCopy makes copying much harder for casual visitors, bots and AI agents, without slowing down your store or getting in the way of real customers.

Key features of AntiCopy

1. One dashboard, one switch

Everything starts from the AntiCopy dashboard. Turn on the app embed in your theme once, and a single switch protects your whole store. You can pause all protection at any time without losing your settings. AntiCopy works with any Shopify theme and needs no code.

2. Content protection with 14 options

Choose exactly what visitors can't do on your store. Each protection is a simple toggle:

• Copying: disable right click, right click on images (including long press on phones), text selection, copy and cut, dragging images and links, and keyboard shortcuts such as view source, save page and developer tools.
• Images, videos and printing: disable video downloads, disable printing, discourage screenshots with the Print Screen key, and pause the page when developer tools are open.
• Message to visitors: show a short message such as "This content is protected." so visitors know why nothing happened, or add a link to your store when copying is allowed.
• Store elements: hide the Shopify preview bar and the reCAPTCHA badge.

Form fields keep working, pasting is never blocked, and you can turn protection off for logged-in customers or for specific pages such as your contact page.

3. Block AI agents, scrapers and AI crawlers

AI assistants can now browse stores and act for a person: read pages, copy content and fill in forms. AntiCopy lets you decide whether they can use your store:

• Block AI agents sends away AI assistants and crawlers that name themselves, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Bytespider.
• Block automated browsers sends away browsers driven by a program (Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, headless Chrome), which scrapers and many AI agents use.
• Ready-made robots.txt rules ask AI training crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and CCBot to stay away from your store.

Search engines, link previews, speed tests and Shopify itself are never blocked, so your SEO keeps working. Every blocked agent is listed in the Blocked visits log. Read our step-by-step guide: How to Block AI Agents and Scrapers on Your Shopify Store.

4. Country and IP blocker

Keep unwanted traffic out of your store. Block visitors from chosen countries, or allow only the countries you sell to. Add or remove a whole region (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania) in one click, and always allow or always block single IP addresses, ranges or prefixes. Search engines can still index your store, even from a blocked country.

Blocked visitors, including AI agents, see a page of your store with your own message. You can write it in HTML and styles, preview it, or start from the default page.

The Blocked visits page shows the last 30 days of blocked visits with the country, IP address, page, browser and time, so you always know who was turned away.

5. Cookie banner and age verification

AntiCopy also includes two compliance tools, each with a live preview as you edit:

• Cookie banner: tell visitors about cookies and record their choice with Shopify's customer privacy, which Shopify analytics and your pixels follow. Choose a light or dark style, show it at the top or bottom of the screen, show it only where the law requires it, and set how many days the answer is remembered.
• Age verification: ask visitors to confirm their age before they enter your store, on every page or only on the pages you choose, such as /collections/wine. Set the texts, the page to send visitors who leave, and how long the answer is remembered.

6. Made for every store

• Works with any theme through a theme app embed, with no code to edit.
• Works on desktop and mobile.
• Default texts are shown in your visitor's language, and the app itself is available in 21 languages.
• Built for speed, with email support from the Hura Apps team.
