Compliance API

Your users ask “will this listing get me suspended?”Answer it inside your product.

ShieldMyShop checks Etsy listing text against 507+ trademarked brands and the phrasing patterns that trigger takedowns. If you build tools for Etsy sellers, you can add a compliance signal to your listing audit with one API call. No SEO overlap, no competing product — we deliberately do not do keywords or research.

Seller tools

Add a compliance score beside your SEO score. The one risk your audit does not cover.

Print-on-demand

Flag a design brief before it reaches production and becomes your liability.

Marketplaces & agencies

Screen catalogues in bulk instead of reacting to takedown notices.

What this is not

· It is a risk screener, not legal advice, and it will not catch everything.
· It reads listing text — titles, tags, descriptions. It does not analyse images.
· Coverage is 507+ actively-enforcing brands plus phrase patterns, not the full trademark register.

We would rather you know the boundaries before you integrate than after.
