  • Suggested action: Check the Shopify Partner Directory, a vetted list of approved Shopify partners with profiles, reviews, and service details. Absence from this directory is noted as a potential red flag and warrants further research.

  • Status: No confirmation of legitimacy provided in the thread. The discussion remains open, with recommended next steps to verify directory listing and conduct additional checks before proceeding further.

To further verify the legitimacy of this consultant or company, you should check if they are listed in the Shopify Partner Directory. This directory includes only those partners who have been vetted and approved by Shopify, making it a reliable source for finding trusted partners.

By searching in the Shopify Partner Directory, you can access detailed information about the company or consultant, including their profile, customer reviews, and the services they offer. If they are not listed here, it could be a red flag, and you might need to conduct further research.

Hi @thomas14 Can you let me know what exactly you need to check here, Do you want to check whether he works for the FHG company or Shopify or something else?

As such if he is working as per your exepecatation then you do not have to worry about it.
