Hey how do I use cloaking for Shopify payments? I just know that cloaking for ads exist.
Can u help me ?
In principle, cloaking for Shopify works the same way as ad cloaking you use two stores and redirects.
Basically, you need Store A and Store B.
Store A will serve as a front; behind it, you’ll set up the actual store (the blackhat site)with your real product, where customers will interact normally and add items to their cart.
When they click “Proceed to Checkout” to be redirected to the payment page,
A script in your store’s code intercepts the request to create the checkout page and sends it to Store B.
Store B is where you’ll process payments (whitehat site). On this store, you need to set up a fake store that looks credible to Shopify (don’t skimp on this step it’s important that it’s consistent).
On this fake store, you’ll set up legitimate-looking fake products that won’t raise any red flags with Shopify.
The customer will then be redirected to this store to complete the payment, without realizing it.
In principle, it’s “simply” a payment redirect, but be careful, if you want to try doing this yourself, it’s risky at the very least, avoid doing it via a simple JS script in your theme A.
Because by 2026, this method won’t work anymore, and your cloaking won’t be stable.
You need middleware that acts as an intermediary between the two stores; that’s safer at this point.
The idea is simple, the customer sees Site A and is charged on Site B.
