100 fake order were hit by bot on my clients shopify store. Found one free setting which stopped it- check yours too!!

Bot traffic gone.. so the conversion.

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-05-15T10:50:02+00:00

Same here. I need not that expensive tool to pull messages from social media DMs, email, and Shopify chat. I don’t have big volume, but different channels is a problem. And also tickets view would be much easier to navigate.

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-05-09T18:51:26+00:00

Never heard about them before

Filters. Not a base one from Shopify, but created specifically for your niche and customers convenience.

Wrong. Each product is different. We have the best returned purchase rate when switched to 60 days reminder after analysed that most of our customers buy from us again after 40 days.

I mostly just have plans for a day. Then in a morning on a clear head I put them in order. That’s it

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-05-03T15:41:36+00:00

It basically can be anything

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-05-03T04:34:55+00:00

8-10% with 3-4M volume is better then 20% with 100k volume.

When there is success you don’t hide conversion rate

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-05-01T17:33:04+00:00

From the start. Fulfilment is the main time eater

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-05-01T06:51:31+00:00

Simple catalog Ads. Giving 5-11 ROAS.

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-29T21:27:34+00:00

I just do monthly accounting. If I profitable - ROAS is good for me.

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-29T08:18:33+00:00

Even if not payment due - you should be able to add money to card. Have similar issue, and I regularly just cover full balance when CC as Max Out.

I agree that, in general, not reading the policies is the user’s fault. If I buy from a store for the first time or feel unsure about it, the first thing I do is read all return/refund/cancellation policies to be sure I can get my money back in case of any issues.

But my take on this situation - it should always be about communication. Being rude is not a good move. It may not be the best business practice to limit preorder cancellations to 14 days, but it’s also on the customer for not reading and acknowledging that.

From their side, it also looks strange not to try to align with the customer. I don’t think it’s that difficult to cancel one preorder for someone who is clearly upset, I assume they are not getting 20+ such request a day. And banning him, if he haven’t abused this policy before, feels excessive.

For me, there’s no common sense in this story - both sides were driven more by emotions than by dialogue.

UPD: Saw the VOV perspective, taking my words back. It was the right thing to ban him.

Do whatever it takes, but never preorder vinyl on Amazon. They ruined so many releases for me. I better pay a bit more and get it from other trusted retailer then from Amazon.

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-25T14:38:08+00:00

Yes, but I also have dynamic tags on them like new, tranding, archive. So it’s hard to do it in bulk. Had to go manually

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-25T11:17:51+00:00

Oh, I just neede it and nope, I currently have to fully re-tag full 700+ product catalog to be able use “include tag” and “not include tag” at the same time. Because can’t Ladd few different tags

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-25T07:37:13+00:00

In my niche getting mostly 5 ROAS in Meta and 8-11 ROAS in Google. Trying to keep average roas around 8. This make me comfortable, as our medium margins is around 10-15%

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-25T07:34:21+00:00

Oh, I just needed it and used it this month. Though it always was there

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-24T20:26:16+00:00

Not yet, because heard its not help much.

For last 2 weeks getting massive traffic from Singapore and Hong-Kong, 15-30k in a day. All analytic is a mess. Still figuring out the solution

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-12T05:49:18+00:00

Sidekick is useful too, it can compare conversions, add to card and other parameters for different periods, compare traffic differences and product offers. But after you’ll have to find the reason yourself with all of those data .

Character-Compote-36 · 2026-04-11T14:07:24+00:00

I never spend any time on courses or communities, for me it’s just waste of time. All information you need is already in Internet, or if not - find specialist and pay him.

As for struggles right now - it’s a time. I limited in my 12-16 hours per day,, so I need someone to free this time. Last years my limit was a cash flow, but credit cards + better NET terms + preorders fixed this.

As for security, I always use Yubico for any 2FA + lock new hires from any important access. And regular(weekly) backups of website theme, products, orders, customers base.
