How does the Chainalysis Sanctions integration work with Shopify?

When a transaction occurs on your Shopify store, B3OS triggers a workflow that sends the associated blockchain address to the Chainalysis Sanctions API. If the address matches a sanctioned entity, the workflow can automatically pause the order or flag it for review.

What happens if I haven't configured a specific connector for Chainalysis?

If no specific connector is attached within your B3OS workflow, the system will automatically fall back to using the CHAINALYSIS_SANCTIONS_API_KEY stored in your environment variables to authenticate requests.

How do I connect my Shopify store to B3OS?

You can connect your Shopify store by creating a custom app within your Shopify admin panel and providing the client credentials to B3OS. Our platform handles the OAuth process and automatically refreshes tokens to ensure uninterrupted automation.

Which sanctions lists are covered by the Chainalysis API?

The integration screens blockchain addresses against major global databases, including OFAC, the EU, the UN, and various other international sanctions lists to ensure comprehensive compliance.
