I would like to warn people who happen to use Shopify for their online store. you better plan and get your backup hosting.
eventually move off of Shopify soon as possible.
Backup your customers and orders and everything by exporting in your admin.
Shopify shutdown my store without much explanation and refused to answer my support tickets.
Do I need to have my lawyer to force them to answer me?
I was lucky that I backed up everything and have another hosting.

Shopify not to be trusted at all. Their support is worst ever I got.
I did googled about them and I found out that several people have sued them about hacking and stuff.

This is WARNING about using Shopify!

I hope this is right place for this post. if not, let me know the right place for this.

maybe something violated their tos? though, I have to admit that not answering support tickets is very unprofessional, so maybe they're shit.
Its interesting that this is the second online store the OP has had an issue with. The first being Red Bubble. Makes me wonder if they are at fault and not the online stores.

I really hope the other owners of the shops are here.
I might should tag them? one issue is that I do not know their usernames.

Hello @ELY_M,

I'm sorry to hear that you were so unjustly treated by this service as well. Please be careful, there are alot of bad faith actors these days. We have to be strong and bring back order!

They want to steal your voice. They want to end free speech. This is against the 1# amendment. Notify government immediatly and end this illegitimate censorship. This most end!

Shopify? More like censorshopify!
