Shopeye vs TjekPåNettet: Link security or a comprehensive webshop check?
TjekPåNettet is strongest when you want to check whether a link or website is known for phishing, malware, or scam in security registers. Shopeye is a Danish browser extension that helps you investigate the specific webshop while you shop, and gathers multiple facts and risk signals in one place. They do not replace each other — they answer different questions before a purchase.

Side by side
| TjekPåNettet | Shopeye | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Check links/websites against security registers for phishing, malware, and scam | Gather information and risk signals about the webshop |
| Link and security signals | Yes — that is the core | Known digital threats are included in the assessment |
| Company and VAT | Not a systematic VAT check for you | Yes, when information can be found and matched |
| Address and return conditions | Not a comprehensive check of terms of trade | Yes, when policy and return address can be found |
| Domain information | May be included via sources about domain security status | Yes — including domain age |
| Dropshipping indicators | Not the main purpose | Yes, as signals in the analysis |
| Access | Website and browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Safari) | Browser extension via App Store (iPhone/iPad) |
| What the result can/cannot say | Can indicate whether the link is known in registers — not a guarantee, and not a full terms of trade check | Risk assessment from completed checks — not a guarantee of a good purchase |
| Best for | "Is this link known as dangerous?" | "What can I see about the webshop before I buy?" |
What TjekPåNettet is strongest at
TjekPåNettet is a service where you can enter a link and have it looked up in a range of registers for malware, phishing, and scam. According to About Tjekpånettet.dk, the purpose is to help you spot phishing and scam attempts before you click through.
According to the test explanation, the sources include known scam types, malware blocks, and phishing reports — and e-mærket can be included as an indication. There is also a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
This makes TjekPåNettet particularly strong as a link security check when you receive an SMS, email, or message with a link you are unsure about.
What TjekPåNettet is not designed for
TjekPåNettet is built to look up links in security registers — not for a full background check of the webshop as a trading place.
On About Tjekpånettet.dk they write themselves that the sources are neither complete nor perfect: a phishing site can be brand new, or the scam can be hidden. A result without alarm therefore primarily means the link is not known in the used registers — not that terms of trade, VAT, or returns have been reviewed for you.
A webshop can be "unknown as dangerous" and still have unclear company information, returns abroad, or dropshipping patterns. That is a different type of risk than classic phishing.
What Shopeye investigates
Shopeye investigates the webshop while you are on it and collects multiple signals in one assessment. According to What we check, this includes known digital threats, domain age, company information and CVR/VAT, e-mærket when it can be verified, return policy and return address, payment methods, independent reviews, and signs of problematic trading or dropshipping patterns.
Threat registrations are included as one signal among several — not as the final answer.
Shopeye's limitations
- Shopeye provides a risk assessment, not a guarantee.
- Information may be missing, outdated, or interpreted incorrectly.
- A low risk result does not guarantee a good buying experience.
- You should read the individual findings and make your own decision.
- A check that could not be completed is not automatically negative — the assessment is just based on less information.
When should you use what?
TjekPåNettet is best for: "Is this link known as dangerous?"
Shopeye is best for: "What can I see about this webshop before I buy?"
- Suspicious SMS, email, or message: Start with TjekPåNettet before you click.
- Unknown webshop without alarm: Absence of alarm is not a full terms of trade check. Here a comprehensive check is more relevant.
- A link takes you to a webshop: It can be relevant to use both — first the link, then the webshop.
Conclusion
TjekPåNettet checks links against security registers. Shopeye collects more information and risk signals about the specific webshop. Neither replaces the other — and neither removes the need for your own assessment before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Can Shopeye and TjekPåNettet replace each other?
No. TjekPåNettet goes in depth with link security via registers. Shopeye collects more information and risk signals about the specific webshop.
What does it mean if TjekPåNettet does not warn?
Typically that the link is not known for phishing, malware, or scam in the used sources. That is useful — but it is not a full assessment of company, return conditions, or other trading signals.
Is "low risk" in Shopeye a safe purchase?
No. It is an assessment of completed checks, not a guarantee.
Should I use both?
That can be relevant when a suspicious link takes you to a webshop, for larger purchases, or when information points in different directions.
