Counterfeit detection and monitoring for marketplace sellers

You cannot take down what you cannot see. KnockoffRadar sees it first.

KnockoffRadar is continuous counterfeit detection for Shopify Plus brands. We scan Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop daily, flag every listing that copies your products, and file the takedowns for you, so enforcement starts from evidence instead of guesswork.

How does KnockoffRadar work?

1. We find the fakes

Daily scans of Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop match your catalog against live listings, including TikTok livestream sellers.

2. We file the takedowns

Every confirmed counterfeit is filed through the platform's official channel, with evidence formatted to its rules, and tracked to resolution.

3. We keep them down

Removed sellers go on a permanent watch list. Re-listings are caught in hours and re-filed with the full case history attached.

How does detection actually work?

We build a fingerprint of your real catalog: product images, packaging details, titles, and the phrases your customers search. Daily scans of Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop match against that fingerprint, so copies surface even when the seller changes the brand name slightly or crops your photos.

Can it catch TikTok livestream sellers?

Yes, and this is where most monitoring falls down. Knockoff sellers increasingly sell through livestreams that vanish after the stream ends and never rank in search. We watch livestream activity tied to your product category and capture the evidence while the stream is running.

What happens after something is detected?

Every confirmed counterfeit goes straight into enforcement. We prepare and file the takedown on your behalf, track the case, and keep the seller on a watch list after removal so re-listings trigger immediate re-filing.

Frequently asked questions

What marketplaces are scanned?

Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, and TikTok Shop, every day. Coverage is tuned to where Shopify Plus brands actually lose sales to knockoffs, not a long list of platforms that pad a pitch deck.

How is this different from setting Google alerts?

Alerts catch text mentions on the open web. Counterfeit discovery needs image matching inside marketplaces, awareness of seller behavior like name misspellings and photo cropping, and coverage of livestream selling. That is a different technical problem.

Will we see everything you find?

Yes. The weekly report lists every flagged listing, what action was taken, and the status of every open case. You can also ask for a real-time alert on anything unusually aggressive, like a seller copying an entire product line.

Do we need trademarks registered first?

Registered trademarks make enforcement strongest, but pending marks and copyright claims still work on most platforms. We tell you honestly what your current registrations support and file accordingly.

What does onboarding look like?

You share your catalog and brand assets, we build your detection fingerprint, and the first full scan runs within days. Most brands see their first enforcement actions filed in the first week.
