No she is not scammer, she want to convert you into Shopify user and if you start a Shopify plan she will get a commission from Shopify, that's it!

So if she has access to my shop she cannot steal my bank account and use it?sorry but I don't know what can happen but I am afraid of getting scammed.i thought that this is a really expensive offer that she does it for free😛

She will not have access to your store, she will give you the store and you have to buy the Shopify plan once you buy the plan she will get commission. For your security if you want to buy that store so once she give you a new store for purchasing shopify store and you purchase basic plan then you will remove that person from your store by going into Users and Permission in the Settings so she won't have access of your store. 🙂

Hi @Sleepebooks ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

Be cautious! The offer for a free Shopify store with extras is likely a scam. Here's why:

• Red Flags: Shopify doesn't offer free stores, the offer sounds too good to be true, and they wouldn't ask for info through a third party.
• Risks: You could lose personal information, get charged hidden fees, or even install malware.

Protect Yourself:

• Don't share personal info.
• Contact Shopify directly at the Shopify website to explore real plans and pricing.
• Consider reporting the offer to Shopify.

Legitimate Alternatives:

• Shopify offers a 14-day free trial.
• You can use free themes and affordable apps from the Shopify app store.

Best regards,
Theodore | PageFly

She might not be a scammer—Shopify staff can earn bonuses for onboarding clients, and her request (email, country, shop name) fits setting up a store with you paying the basic plan ($39/month).

But it could be a scam; "free" offers often hook people. Verify her identity (ask for her Shopify email) and don’t share more than she’s asked. Once you get the store, remove her access via Settings > Users and Permissions. If unsure, contact Shopify directly to confirm.
