Denied Party Screening for Shopify

Screen every customer and order against global sanctions and denied party watch lists directly within your Shopify® store so you can sell with confidence and stay on the right side of international trade regulations.

Why Descartes Visual Compliance™?

You can’t grow your business if you keep doing manual screening. Descartes Visual Compliance was very easy to integrate into our existing ERP and sales platform. Now we have an automated way to check every order as it comes in. There’s no manual screening and we only have to go in to check when there is a flag.
