What is Scalper Bot?
A scalper bot is automation built to buy limited-availability items faster than any person can, so the operator can resell them at a markup.
How it works
Scalpers script the entire purchase path: monitoring, cart, checkout. The whole run finishes in under a second, thousands of times in parallel.
Why it matters for e-commerce
Real customers lose inventory to scripts, and your brand absorbs the anger while the reseller takes the margin. For your store, that means inventory and ad spend stay protected and shoppers get a fair experience.
How BotBulwark detects it
BotBulwark scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real shoppers. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your store.
