Know what your orders are checked against.

RuleNorth screens billing and shipping details from Shopify against published US restricted-party lists.

Start with the details on the order.

Both billing and shipping details help describe the parties involved. RuleNorth uses the information available on each order.

Billing details

  • Person's name
  • Company name, when provided
  • Street, city, region and postal code
  • Country

Shipping details

  • Person's name
  • Company name, when provided
  • Street, city, region and postal code
  • Country

A change gets a fresh check.

When these details change, RuleNorth screens the updated order. Earlier results and decisions stay in its history.

Follow an updated order

A defined US source roster.

The current roster uses these two publishing services. Individual records identify their underlying list so your team can follow the evidence.

Source jurisdiction and destination are different.

United States describes the authorities behind these lists. An order can have a billing or shipping address elsewhere and still be checked against them.

Coverage of US lists does not establish coverage of another country's sanctions regime. The detailed source page explains provenance, overlap and the record used for a check.

Understand the result's reach.

A useful result depends on the order details and the available screening evidence.

See all four statuses
Enough detail to screen
No match found means the current check completed, the included parties had sufficient identity information, and no review candidate was found under your settings.
A detail needs attention
A possible match or insufficient identity information leads to Requires review. A check still awaiting a valid result stays Pending, with its progress or problem explained.
The wider transaction
Ownership, goods, end use and licensing can require separate checks. RuleNorth uses the billing and shipping details on the order; it does not discover every party involved in a transaction.
