Topic summary
A user received an offer for a free Shopify store setup (including 50 products, premium theme, and configuration) from someone claiming to work for Shopify and earn bonuses for client referrals. The person only requested email, country, and shop name, with the user paying for Shopify’s basic plan.
Community responses split into two perspectives:
-
Not a scam: Some believe this is a legitimate affiliate/referral arrangement where the person earns commission when the user subscribes to a paid plan. They recommend removing the person’s access through Settings > Users and Permissions after receiving the store.
-
Likely a scam: Others warn this appears fraudulent, noting Shopify doesn’t offer free stores and the offer seems too good to be true. Potential risks include hidden fees, data theft, or malware installation.
Recommended precautions:
- Verify the person’s identity by requesting their official Shopify email
- Contact Shopify directly to confirm legitimacy
- Consider using Shopify’s legitimate 14-day free trial instead
- If proceeding, immediately revoke the person’s store access after setup
The discussion remains unresolved regarding the offer’s legitimacy.
