I ended up moving all 3 my shops to Woocommerce and now instead of earning a minimum of $75 per site per month from me for years to come, Shopify will earn $0 from me in the future. I guess they don’t care about that, but I’m happy to be free of their greedy transaction fees.

Hi! Can you explain how I can set this up? Can I also do it with third-party payment provider Mollie? Working with that already, but want to skip the 2% transaction fee.
