For Digital Download Retailers

For example, retailers selling digital goods "ship" instantly. This prevents the retailer blocking the shipment of the order once they realize the order is fraudulent. Embargo prevents fraudulent digital downloads before the bad actor is able to complete checkout.

Skipping international shipping or compliance hassles

Pass on international import or export regulations for countries you don't want to do business in.

Blockage will block visitors from countries your store doesn't support before an order is made.

How does it work?

Embargo uses as proprietary database to turn your customers' IP address into their real world location within milliseconds. Then it will verify that the visitor is allowed to enter your site based on the countries you selected in the app.
