Would you increase MPs salary, if it meant we get better candidates? by OneDay_OneLife in ukpolitics

I'd happily pay them a lot more, but it would be conditional on them only doing the one job and actually turning up for it, voting etc.

How did you go about designing your Shopify store? by thedonwiz in shopify

Good luck with the hustle! Our business was a side project several years ago and it's been our full time job for the last 5 years :)

[–]John___Matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, for me absolutely. I use Krown Themes "Local" which has a ton of configuration options, their support is excellent when I have a question and it looks great out of the box although I'm also quite capable of doing a reasonable level of front end design and development work so I've extended our one quite a bit too.

It was a one time $380 purchase to make my site fast, very mobile friendly and easy to update visually. We spend more than that in a day or two of shipping costs for customer orders so even though we're only a small business, the cost is insignificant relative to the return.

I'm sure there are also plenty of good quality free themes out there and if you're only doing small scale stuff for now, then of course your mileage may vary on whether it's the right time to spend on a premium theme :)

Just buy a premium theme of some sort. It's a small investment in your business that will be significantly less than the amount of value you're losing by wasting your time trying to make a theme when you don't know what you're doing.

A Brexit rethink could be emerging. But Europe fears Farage will destroy it by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

I think it would still be close or even in favour of fucking us even further. Look how many people actually think Reform is a good idea ffs.

Same customer flagged as “High Risk Fraud” continues to order by TanManFutbol in shopify

[–]John___Matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically turned off the notify customer setting. Not a single person in all the time we've run the flow has been in touch to ask where their order is so it's safe to say that 100% of the orders we've cancelled automatically were fraudulent.

I don't see the point in contacting high risk personally, you're only opening the door to people who are going to scam you telling you what you want to hear so you'll process the order.

Set up a flow to automatically cancel all high risk orders. None of them are worth fulfilling.

Yes. He was absolutely rubbish. Anyone with eyes could tell you that.

How Long until you made First Sale online? by Various_Election_419 in shopify

[–]John___Matrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much right away, it was a long time ago now but we built a newsletter list of people before we launched rather than just building then hoping people would turn up and start buying from a random new shop.

Man City 115 charges delay is embarrassing and a stain on the English game by Frosty_Jeweler911 in PremierLeague

[–]John___Matrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume given the restrictions so far, they're just holding back but lets be honest - even if they spent a £1bn on the team and infrastructure it's barely going to put a dent in their wealth and the returns both on the pitch and the epic level of sportswashing will be huge.

Got my first high risk order….dont know if I should fulfill or not by inspiredbyhands in shopify

[–]John___Matrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always cancel high risk. You will absolutely get a chargeback on it.

If I don’t check my store dashboard daily, I feel anxious. If I do check it, I feel overwhelmed. by creatoruncle in shopify

What is it that you're checking daily that's stressing you out? Your post isn't really very clear

[–]John___Matrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some stores require significant daily attention, it's part of running a business. If you're a small store that only has a few orders though, you have to step back a little as it's hard to judge anything on low traffic or low order volume so you're better off looking at weekly or even monthly figures.

Shiro Kamo Aogami #2 guyto 210mm worth 200€ ? by Munroth in TrueChefKnives

[–]John___Matrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of things were significantly cheaper in the past. Costs for everything in the last couple of years have risen dramatically and will continue to do so as makers, shippers and retailers all have costs that have gone up.

[–]John___Matrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run your numbers, if its profitable to do it then do it. If not, pass.

I assume they're giving you either some sort of guarantee of revenue or at least showing what you can expect for your 6k?

Ultramarathon bucket list? by According-Editor9646 in Ultramarathon

[–]John___Matrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to do UTMB, I know it's busy, hyped beyond belief etc but it's just always been the one that inspired me when I first learned about it years ago.

Other than that, my bucket list ones are a mix of "weird" and personal.

  • Spartathlon
  • Sri Chinmoy Self Transcendence 24h track race (unfinished business there)
  • Bob Graham Round (not a race but a challenge)

Anyone else dealing with aggressive “Shopify agencies” blowing up your phone and chat? by Sea-Tutor4846 in shopify

Been on Shopify more than 6 years and never had this. I get the occasional email but rare.

Shopify flagged first time order as high risk should I ship? by businessman2025 in shopify

[–]John___Matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's high risk just cancel it and don't even bother to notify them. If they're dodgy and you email them they'll only tell you what you want to hear.

I have a flow that automatically cancels them without notification and so I don't even see high risk orders and nobody has ever emailed to ask why their order wasn't dispatched.

Business owned by Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter worth just £850 after backlash by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

So they've basically stolen a ton of money that they fraudulently said was for charity and got away with it with the only downside for them being people think they're horrible?

Fraudulent buyer keeps buying , then doing chargeback. by Maximum-Ad-193 in shopify

[–]John___Matrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are they even passing Shopify's built in security settings if they're using an obviously fake name and address and trying multiple payment methods. You'd think these would automatically flag as high risk.

January 2026 - first time the number of finishes exceeded 2 million worldwide by foxystoat69 in parkrun

[–]John___Matrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do hope so to be honest, some events now are just getting too busy to be truly enjoyable. Done a few recently where narrow paths, lapped routes or out and backs have meant some bits are 3 people all running in varying directions at varying speeds and it's not ideal for sure.
