Explore ShieldLabs Demos by Use Case

See the use cases ShieldLabs covers, each with a live demo that runs the real ShieldLabs snippet in your browser and a backend that keeps its own data for every scenario.

Each demo shows how to apply ShieldLabs to the use case that matters most to your business, and the full source of every scenario is available as a tutorial app on GitHub.

  • Anonymity Checker

    Analyze your own browser with ShieldLabs identification and risk signals.

    Check your Risk Score, your Device ID, and every signal behind your visit: VPN, proxy, Tor, anti-detect browser, browser automation, timezone mismatch, and more.

  • Coupon Fraud

    Protect campaign budgets from shoppers who apply the same coupon again and again from one device.

    ShieldLabs recognizes the device behind every redemption, for signed-in customers and guests alike, so each promotion reaches the customers it was made for.

  • Credential Stuffing

    Protect your users against credential stuffing with a Device ID that stays the same for every login attempt from one browser.

    ShieldLabs keeps stolen passwords from turning into account takeovers, without adding friction for the people who own the accounts.

  • Account Sharing

    Users who share their accounts cost you subscriptions and open security gaps.

    Use ShieldLabs device intelligence to detect account sharing and limit how many devices can use one account at the same time.

  • Payment Fraud

    Identify the device behind every transaction. Link repeated card testing to one device, and stop buyers with a chargeback or stolen card history from paying again.

  • Loan Risk

    Check every loan application against earlier ones from the same device, whether the applicant is signed in or not.

    Catch applicants who retry with a changed income or name, and set aside applications from devices you already turned down.

  • Paywall

    Recognize returning readers, so free article limits hold and nobody reads past the limit you set.

    The limit holds even when a reader clears cookies or browses in incognito mode.

  • Personalization

    Improve the experience and lift sales by personalizing your site for visitors who have not signed in.

    Give returning visitors their search history and a saved cart without relying on cookies or logins.

  • Web Scraping Prevention

    Web scraping pulls your data with automated scripts, and data your competitors value is data they will try to take.

    ShieldLabs bot detection protects your endpoints without CAPTCHAs and without relying on IP reputation alone.

  • Bot Firewall

    Feed ShieldLabs bot detection into your web application firewall and block IP addresses linked to past bot visits.

    Stop recognized bots on their next visit, before they reach your pages.

  • SMS Pumping Fraud Protection

    Fraudulent verification texts can cost your business a fortune.

    Use ShieldLabs device intelligence to stop bots and repeat requesters from pumping your SMS verification step.

  • VPN Detection

    Detect visitors who hide their location behind a VPN, a proxy, or Tor, and apply regional pricing or content rules with confidence.

    ShieldLabs also compares the browser time zone with the IP location to catch spoofed locations.

  • New Account Fraud

    Identify people who create fake accounts to reuse free trials. Limit how many accounts one device can open, and keep bots and risky browsers from signing up.

  • Ban Evasion

    Keep banned users out when they come back with a new account, cleared cookies, or a different IP address.

    ShieldLabs recognizes the returning device, so a ban applies to the device and not only to the account.

  • Account Takeover

    Stop account takeover even when the password is right: a leaked or stolen password from a device the account has never used gets a step-up check first.

    ShieldLabs recognizes a device once it passes that check, so real owners sign in without friction next time.

  • Chargeback Dispute

    Keep the Device ID, IP address and country behind every order, so a disputed order can be shown next to earlier orders the same device placed and never disputed.

    Send that evidence with your dispute response: the strongest sign the cardholder placed the disputed order too.

  • Survey Fraud

    Pay one reward per respondent on a paid survey, not one reward per email address.

    ShieldLabs recognizes the device behind a submission, so a new email or a cleared cookie does not open a second reward.

  • Bonus Abuse

    Pay a welcome bonus once per person, not once per account. Bonus hunters open account after account to claim the same deposit match.

    ShieldLabs recognizes the device behind every new account, so a new email or a private window does not unlock a second bonus.

  • Promo Abuse

    Give new customers their first-order discount once. Repeat buyers come back with a new email address to get it again.

    ShieldLabs recognizes the returning device at checkout, so a new email, a private window or cleared cookies do not reset the discount.

  • Referral Fraud

    Pay referral rewards for real new customers. Self-referrers invite their own second account to collect both sides of the reward.

    ShieldLabs compares the device behind a new signup with the device behind the referrer, so a self-referral is caught even with a new email.

  • Sybil Attack

    Keep an airdrop, a vote or a per-person quota to one claim per person. Sybil attackers switch wallets to claim again and again.

    ShieldLabs recognizes the device behind every claim, so a new wallet address, a private window or a VPN does not open a second claim.
