I don’t think business should use a platform like Shopify anymore. It is clear that Shopify just wants to profit and their claims of intellectual property and copy copy right protection are COMPLETELY FALSE. Their legal team has a bunch of idiots who send generic messages.
I received 2 DMCA notices from a website I didn’t even know existed, claiming I copied them. While I acknowledge there’s competitors selling the same product, I also believe that we should be protected from false allegations.
Shopify does not review both sides. Anyone can make any claim and they’ll take down your store even if it’s not related to your business. Shopify is stupid as they need to understand dropshippers use the same products from mostly the same supplier and language and wording has to be quite similar.
However, if they’re so into “protection” as they claim, they need to clearly review both websites before making a decision. If they actually did that, they could see, my website is completely different. Infact the business making these alleged claims are the ones who’ve taken an entire website layout, theme and wording from a very popular competitor, but Shopify didn’t see that. Instead they took down my store after this fraudulent store made some bogus claims .
I’ve sent almost 9-10 emails in 2 days and I only get some ■■■■■■■■ generic response from them. They’re complete morons.
I URGE YOU NOT TO USE SHOPIFY. You can lose so much of money as you will get taken down randomly by ANY website and no actual review from Shopify. They don’t protect you it’s all ■■■■■■■■■ claims.
