Free store safety check

Look beyond the homepage.

CheckoutLens checks the public homepage and tries to find contact, returns, terms, privacy, shipping and checkout/payment information. It highlights signals to investigate, without needing a paid review API.

  • ✓ Checks up to 8 public pages on the same website
  • ✓ Lists positive signs and potential warning signs
  • ✓ Requires an account, with 5 free checks per day

This is a surface-level automated check, not a guarantee or a fraud verdict. It does not submit checkout forms or place orders.

Make your own call

Check the final price, renewal terms and cancellation policy before entering payment details or placing an order.

Questions, answered

Good to know.

A few important details about how CheckoutLens works.

Does CheckoutLens scan every website automatically?

No. You start each scan yourself from the extension. It does not continuously monitor your browsing.

Does a warning mean a store is a scam?

No. Warnings identify wording or patterns worth checking. They are not proof of fraud, and no scan can guarantee that every issue will be detected.

What data does a scan use?

The basic scan analyses visible page text locally in your browser. The store checker sends the submitted public website address to the CheckoutLens API. The browser extension basic scan analyses visible page text locally and does not send that text to our server. Read the privacy notice for details.

Do I need an account for a store check?

Yes. Store checks require a signed-in CheckoutLens account. Free accounts can run up to five checks per day; the server enforces the limit.

Why is there a daily limit?

Each account can run up to five store checks per Netherlands calendar day. The limit helps protect the service from automated abuse and keeps the free service available.
