Hi There,

 

Was wondering if the community here had any insight as to how we could contribute to the Shopify blog on their website. We're a security company with a website built on top of Shopify and feel that we have valuable insights into keeping storefronts safe - especially retail security specifically.

 

We have alot of information that we would love to contribute - any ideas on how to go about this?

 

Thanks!
