Protected checkouts

Drops belong to humans.

Sneakers. Concert tickets. Limited drops. Without real protection, bots empty the stock in seconds, and the resellers pocket the margin. Vinishu hands the checkouts to real humans - at full throughput.

How the attack unfolds

Two columns. Same drop. Different ending.

240 units. 18,400 shoppers at once. Without protection, a few dozen scripts grab 220 of them in twelve seconds. With Vinishu the queue clears the way it should.

How Vinishu solves it

Detect intent. Block the request. Let real users through.

01 · Resilience

We stand up to your traffic.

You don't have to worry about our systems slowing down or returning wrong results during traffic spikes. Vinishu is built to handle almost anything.

02 · Cart-park defense

Reservations only count for humans.

Bots park stock in the cart to starve real users. We score /add-to-cart and /reserve directly - fake reservations don't draw down your stock.

03 · Drop mode

One switch for launch day.

Drop mode raises the score thresholds, adds an extra check for borderline cases, and sets per-account limits. Schedulable, instantly reversible.

How you integrate it

One verify call on /add-to-cart.

Same route, a harder threshold for the hour of the drop. A cart that parks stock without buying never holds any - and your checkout code stays as it is.

FAQ

Questions security teams actually ask.

Missing a question? Ask a developer.

Does this slow down the checkout?

No. Vinishu adds 8–10 ms of overhead - well below the latency variance your users already see anyway. /add-to-cart and /checkout feel identical.

What about loyal customers who use scripts for accessibility?

You can handle that through the white-lists. Verified requests are allowed.

Does it integrate with our queue solution?

Yes - the verify call sits in front of your queue. Your queue (Queue-it, custom etc.) only sees humans. For most customers the queue costs drop, because the queue no longer has to scale for bots too.

How do you handle resellers on residential proxies in the target regions?

IP reputation, behavioral cadence and cross-tenant signals. A residential IP that scalped a drop somewhere else yesterday is on the watchlist today when it shows up at yours.

Can this run for drops only?

Yes. You can set scheduled times to activate drop mode.
