Hi @Manju123

I get that you’re frustrated, and I hear you. Let me clarify a few things to help you understand what might have happened in your situation.

Shopify itself is not a fraudulent company. It’s a legit, publicly traded business (NYSE: SHOP) that provides an eCommerce platform for millions of merchants worldwide. However, because Shopify allows anyone to set up an online store, there are cases where some individual sellers on Shopify might engage in scams—just like on Amazon, eBay, or any other online marketplace.

**Why You Might Feel Scammed:**1. A Seller Took Your Money and Disappeared – If you bought something from a store that uses Shopify, but they never shipped your order or stopped responding, the issue is with that specific store, not Shopify itself.

  1. Refund Issues – Shopify doesn’t handle payments directly for most stores. Refunds depend on the store owner and their policies. If a store refuses to refund you, you can dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider (PayPal, credit card company, etc.).
  2. Shopify’s Role – Shopify provides the platform but does not manage individual store operations. They can, however, take action against fraudulent stores if enough complaints are received.

What You Can Do:- Try contacting the store where you made the purchase.

  • File a dispute with your bank or PayPal to get your money back.
  • Report the store to Shopify so they can investigate.

I get how upsetting this is, and I hope you can resolve your issue soon. If you need help figuring out the next steps, feel free to reply, and I’ll do my best to assist.

Best regards,
