Ropeline for any website
One API call that stops bots at your login and checkout
Bots don't check what your site is built on. They run stolen cards through checkouts, guess passwords, make fake signups and spam forms. Ropeline gives your server one question to ask first: POST /v1/check answers allow, challenge or block, with the reasons in plain words. Works from Node, PHP, Python, Ruby or Go, or paste one Cloudflare Worker and change no code. If we're slow, your visitors get through. Free for a week with no card, then from $5 a month, or from $15 with checkout.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Sparsh. I launched Ropeline here last month as a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin. But bots don't care what a site is built on, so I've put the same checks behind one API call.
Your server asks before a login, signup, checkout or form post. Ropeline answers allow, challenge or block, and says why.
Three things I cared about:
It fails open. If we don't answer within 1.5 seconds, our code lets the visitor through. Ropeline should never be why a real customer can't log in or pay.
It never asks for passwords or card numbers, only the visitor's address and what they tried.
We use it ourselves. Our own checkout, free-week form and dashboard sign-in ask Ropeline first.
It doesn't work on Wix, Squarespace or Shopify yet, because they run their own logins and checkouts.
It's free for a week with no card. I'd love to hear what it misses, especially if your site has been hit by card testing.
