# Glossary

Terms used throughout the app and this documentation.

**Bypass link** — A secret per-shop URL that skips every storefront rule, so merchants can always reach their own store.

**Datacenter / hosting IP** — An IP address that belongs to a cloud or hosting provider (AWS, Google Cloud, etc.) rather than a residential or mobile ISP. Real shoppers rarely browse from these; bots and scrapers often do.

**Disposable email** — An email address from a throwaway inbox provider (e.g. a temp-mail service), typically used to bypass signup requirements without a real inbox.

**Good bot** — A known, trusted crawler (Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot, etc.) that should always be allowed so search indexing isn't affected.

**Headless browser** — A browser controlled by automation tooling (e.g. Puppeteer, Selenium) rather than a human, often used for scraping or bot traffic.

**Shopify Function** — Custom logic that runs on Shopify's own servers as part of checkout, rather than in the buyer's browser. This is what powers Checkout Protection, and it's why those rules can't be bypassed client-side.

**Tor exit node** — The last server in the Tor anonymity network before traffic reaches the open internet. Traffic from a Tor exit node can't be traced back to the visitor's real IP.
