This is how Shopify is killing a business I’ve built for over 2 years.
No shady tactics. No bad products. Just hard work, a legit operation, and orders fulfilled fast. Support tickets answered within hours. Barely any chargebacks. A team that depends on this business.
And now, without warning, Shopify has locked up a massive amount of my funds.
No explanation. No support. No timeline.
Because of this, I’m stuck.
Can’t scale. Can’t reinvest. Cashflow is suffocating.
People I pay every month are now at risk.
We’ve been using Shopify for years, running our small business with everything reinvested into growth and customer satisfaction.
8 days ago, Shopify suddenly shut down our Shopify Payments account without any notice and froze more than €20,000, leaving us with zero time to prepare.
As a small team, we are now going bankrupt — and our employees’ pay and futures are in serious jeopardy.
At the time of closure, our chargeback rate was under 1% (0.64% over the last 365 days). We’ve worked hard to keep disputes low and customers happy.
We’re still committed to Shopify and want to keep building our business here with a new payment gateway.
We’re simply asking @Shopify@harleyf to please take another look at our case and reconsider the decision to hold our funds.
A second look could save a small business.
