Why can one 'clinically proven' line in a product description get my store flagged?
Small online sellers paste supplier copy with health, safety or eco claims they cannot back up, and they find out when a payment processor or platform risk team flags the store, not before the listing goes live.
Who has it: Shopify and marketplace sellers in supplements, skincare, baby goods and eco products, and the agencies writing their listings.

Scoring breakdown
Existing players
- Shopify Flow · Can tag a product when a description contains a word, but someone has to build and maintain the word list.
- Writer · Brand and style rules for marketing teams, not product claim rules by category and country.
- Acrolinx · Enterprise content governance, priced and scoped far beyond a small store.
What they are missing
A listing checker that reads every new or edited product description, flags medical, safety and green claims by category and selling country, asks for the proof document before publishing, and suggests a safer wording that keeps the selling point.
