Shellback SEO
Shopify Security & Malware Removal

Hacked Shopify store? We find and remove checkout skimmers — fast.

If your checkout is redirecting shoppers to a fake payment page, you're losing sales and leaking customer card data right now. Shellback SEO tracks down the hidden code, removes it at the source, and verifies your checkout is clean — end to end.

Real incident, real fix — independently verified on the live store.

Signs your store is compromised

If any of these sound familiar, treat it as urgent — and stop processing orders until it's cleared.

  • Checkout redirects to an unfamiliar payment page (like "TrendPay").
  • The pay page sits on a domain that isn't yours — often a .top address.
  • Customers report fraud or disputes after ordering.
  • Restoring a backup didn't fix it — the redirect came right back.
  • You see apps or app embeds you don't recognize.
  • The redirect only happens when you click Check Out, so it looks fine at a glance.

What a skimmer is costing you

Stolen card data

Every checkout can hand a customer's card straight to a criminal.

Chargebacks & liability

Fraud complaints, disputes, and potential PCI/processor fallout.

Lost sales

Shoppers who spot the redirect abandon — and don't come back.

Brand damage

A "this looks like a scam" checkout erodes trust you spent years building.

How we remove it

A methodical incident response — not guesswork.

  1. Audit & reproduce

    We confirm the problem on your live store, capture exactly where the redirect goes, and rule out the innocent explanations.

  2. Trace to the true source

    Payments, theme code, redirects, pixels, apps, and app embeds — we find the exact injection point, even when it's obfuscated and hiding inside a trusted app.

  3. Remove at the source

    We pull the malicious code out for good — not just patch over it — so it can't switch back on or re-inject.

  4. Verify & harden

    We confirm your checkout is back to the genuine, native flow, and flag the access and settings to lock down so it doesn't happen again.

Real case

We removed a "TrendPay" checkout skimmer that survived every backup.

A live store's checkout was redirecting shoppers to a fake "TrendPay" card page. The malicious code wasn't in the theme and wasn't in any backup — it was hidden inside a trusted, years-old cart app's settings. We traced it, removed it at the source, and verified a clean checkout end to end.
