Community rules

These are the currently published rules. Moderators and AutoModerator may enforce additional account-age, karma, flair or posting requirements that are not publicly listed.

1

All Posts must be related to Shopify Exclusively

All posts must be directly and exclusively related to the Shopify Platform - no posts with issues that may pertain to ecom stores in general. Dropship-related posts should be made to relevant groups like r/dropship or r/dropshipping. If you have a specific issue with a Shopify seller, this is not the place for that; Shopify is not a marketplace like Amazon; buy at your own risk.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: Not shopify related
2

No Store or App Reviews / Feedback

All store reviews must be posted to r/reviewmyshopify unless part of an AMA / approved review thread.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: No Store / App Reviews / Feedback
3

No Success Stories / Guides / How-To / Blogspam / AI

No unsolicited AMA (ask me anything) posts, success stories, 'how I made' posts, expert guides, blogs, 'top' lists, I analyzed 5,000 stores..., case studies, 'what we learned' etc. Longform posts that are clear blogspam, suspected AI (in the view of a moderator) or reported as such may be removed.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: No Success Stories / How-To / Case Study / Suspected AI
4

Soliciting, Promotion, or Direct Soliciting via DM

This should be self-evident. This is a place to exchange helpful information freely, as posts that stay up will help others in the future. This is not the place to promote yourself or services to the members here. Violations and attempts to circumvent this rule by "recommending someone" inviting private solicitation via DM or request for DM will result in a ban. This also includes 'offers to help' (even if free), or 'looking for help' posts or comments.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: Soliciting, Promotion, or Direct Soliciting via DM
5

Store, Course, or Illegal Theme Resale

If you attempt to resell or freely offer paid themes or courses that you didn't create or have resale rights, you will be issued an instant and permanent ban. You will not be warned, you will not be told to stop, you will be banned instantly. Store sales are also not permitted to due to our inability to protect buyers from scams. Likewise, posts looking for 'how to sell my store' will not be allowed.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: Store, Course, or Illegal Theme Resale
6

No spamming or links to external content.

The sharing of any links, be it in a YouTube description or otherwise is not allowed. Content marketing via blog articles will not be allowed. Please avoid links for signup for Shopify as well as for apps and external courses.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: Use of links against the rules of the group
7

We are all grown ups (well, most of us...).

Abuse and racism is not accepted. Please report any posts or comments. Please do not use this if you simply disagree with the poster.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: We are all grown ups
8

No 'Dev Research' or App Developer posts

Posts looking for 'pain points' of store owners, beta testing, app reviews, app validation ideas, or other posts that are looking for ideas or feedback on apps or app / software ideas are not allowed.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: No 'Dev Research' posts
9

Account Requirements

Our minimum account age requirement is 30 days, and our minimum karma requirement is 20 'comment' karma AND 20 'post' karma (these are different than your overall karma). Your post or comment will be auto-removed if you do not meet these requirements, and moderators will not respond to requests to waive these requirements.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: Minimum Group Requirements
10

No AI or Suspected AI Slop

Obvious or suspected AI content is not welcome here in any form. Violations from lower-karma accounts with little contribution history in this sub may result in a ban. This will be at the sole discretion of the group moderators.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: No AI or Suspected AI Slop
11

No 3PL Related Posts

There are plenty of other groups for 3PL-related posts; this sub has been inundated with them. This will not be the place for 3PL discussion.

Applies to: allRemoval reason: No 3PL Related Posts
