CartWhizz Content Protection

Makes it harder for visitors to copy your product photos and text: turns off right-click, copy and save shortcuts, text selection, dragging images and printing pages on your storefront. Search, forms, checkout and your customers' order pages keep working normally, and search engines see the same page. It discourages casual copying; it cannot stop someone determined, because anything a browser shows can be saved.

Quick start

What it does. Makes it harder for visitors to copy your product photos and text: turns off right-click, copy and save shortcuts, text selection, dragging images and printing pages on your storefront. Search, forms, checkout and your customers' order pages keep working normally, and search engines see the same page. It discourages casual copying; it cannot stop someone determined, because anything a browser shows can be saved.

Who can use it

  • Off until you switch it on.
  • Your plan decides whether you can use it. The module card in Settings → Modules shows Not in your plan (with See plans) or Paid add-on (with Buy add-on) when it is not included. The features list shows which plans include it.

Switch it on

  1. In your admin, open Settings → Modules.
  2. Find CartWhizz Content Protection. If it is on the Installed tab, click Enable; if not, open the Browse tab and click Install.
  3. Click Configure to change any setting below (the defaults work for most stores).

Switching it off later stops it working but keeps its data, so switching it back on picks up where you left off.

Settings

  • Turn off right-click — The right-click menu (Save image as, Copy, Inspect) does not open on your pages. Search boxes and form fields keep it. Default: on.
  • Turn off copy and save shortcuts — Ctrl or Cmd with C, X, A, S, U and P do nothing outside form fields. Find on page (Ctrl+F) still works. Default: on.
  • Turn off text selection — Product text cannot be highlighted to copy. Form fields and search boxes can still be typed in and selected. Default: on.
  • Turn off dragging images — Images cannot be dragged to the desktop or another tab. Default: on.
  • Turn off printing pages — Printing a page shows a short notice instead of the page. Order confirmation, order tracking, account and gift card pages still print, so customers can keep their receipts. Default: on.
  • Turn off developer tools shortcuts — F12 and Ctrl+Shift+I, J and C (Cmd+Option on Mac) do nothing. Developer tools can still be opened from the browser menu; nothing on your store can prevent that. Default: on.
