Very interesting.
Once again proves you should take every piece of information with a grain of salt.
Had to call this off early after 2 days testing.
Split test - popup vs. no popup
38k visits
Popup gathered 2140 SMS submissions, 1321 email. No popup variant obviously 0 opt ins.
Popup converted at 2.49% sidewide CVR. No popup converted at 2.43%.
The theory was that no popup could possibly improve CVR making up for lost opt ins. But opposite effect. Worse day 1 CVR and lost opt ins.
What to test next on popup?

🚨 @Shopify just shut down my entire business overnight.
4 stores disabled. Funds frozen.
Reason? “Elevated chargeback risk.”
Reality: 0.1% chargeback rate, well below the 1% limit.
Even stores with NO active sales were shut down.
No warning.
No real explanation.
Just livelihoods put on pause by an algorithm.
If you run a Shopify store, understand this:
You don’t own your business if a platform can erase it overnight without due process.
Shopify, merchants deserve transparency and fairness.
This needs attention. 🔁

I structure every product page the same, which is how we can get 4 products live in less than an hour:
- Hero: Discount + stars + title + 5-7 benefit bullets
- How It Works / Size Chart (collapsible)
- Testimonials (3 reviews with photos)
- Benefit headlines (3-6 words + scientific backing)
- FAQs (objection handlers)
Then I feed everything into Claude.
Screenshot your template top to bottom.
Paste in TikTok Shop data.
Say: "Generate copy for this template. Brand: [Your Brand].
Product: [Type]."
Turn OFF "extended thinking" in Claude. It eats your tokens and takes 10x longer.
You want fast, clean output you can paste directly into Shopify.
In Shopify:
- Products → Create Template
- Name it (e.g., "Ashwagandha Gummies")
- Base it on the master template
- Paste Claude's copy
Done
Use AI to create 3-4 sentence reviews:
- Review 1: Expert angle ("10 years experience, still learned tons")
- Review 2: Beginner angle ("Never tried this before, amazing")
- Pair with stock photos ("stock photo woman/man").
Real reviews come later. Launch now.
We have a full 30-page template system + video made by the team on this that includes:
- Prompts needed
- Complete Product Page Structure
- Where To Get The Best Product Images
- The thought process to get high-converting PDPS, quickly
If you want my team to send this over to you, just like, repost, and comment “PAGE.”

Shopify just took me down again, CB rate was about 0.2-0.3% for CNP and digital wallets, was about 2% thanks to paypal wallet being so lenient with the inquiries, I've had 5-6 chargebacks in a few thousand orders
I've spoken with their support team and they told me themselves that paypal wallet doesn't count for your overall chargwback rate and that's other division (allegedly verified by the payments team), took their advice, lost $350k (of profit) last 3 months, im not even a millionaire, but I wouldn't be very far away if this guys wouldn't be ruining my dreams, was on pace of doing my biggest day ever too, so fucking unfair man.
Not expecting anything man, just want to quit at this point ngl, will disappear for a few months, 3 months since I haven't had a single shopify payout investing multi 6 figs in adspend without getting a cent back, it took them 50 days to reply me why my first ever payout was cancelled (have also other $210k on hold)
I swear somwthing, If I don't get this solved in the next 24h, I will never be using shopify payments again, that's for sure, living in fear with a 0.2% chargeback rate is not normal, other friend was down too with the same cb rate recently, please tag them so they can see this and hopefully something happens, im not expecting anything good tbh, anyways, see you soon.
The miscommunication by shopify team costed me a third of an M, nobody is gonna be held responsible or accountable for this, just me, it's actually fucking wild
Take me as an example of what not to do; I've gone bankrupt because I had PayPal Wallet activated following the advice of the Shopify team. If I hadn't listened to them and if they had left the legacy PayPal option activated, I would be operating peacefully (they're going towards a monopoly model where you can only use them and their integrations). Right now, I wouldn't have to deal with any of this and these headaches.
Anyways, happy scaling to everyone

If you're using @mercury as your bank... get your money out of there ASAP...
Imagine running an 8-figure brand, then out of the blue, your bank emails you, "Your account is closed."
That's what Mercury did to us.
We are a real, established e-commerce brand, processing close to $10M in the last 12 months. Using Mercury for the last year. Fully compliant. Fully operational. Never had an issue.
Now we get an email saying our account is closed. No real explanation. No answers from support. Nothing...
Do you understand what that means? We now have to rebuild EVERYTHING overnight — payroll, vendors, incoming payments — right before Q4, the single most important quarter of the year.
(And most importantly, hoping incoming payments are able to be rescheduled & don't get stuck with a closed bank that can't even respond to you.)
They’re rug-pulling us. Employees who depend on paychecks to be able to live & feed themselves and their families. Customers who count on us to deliver. All thrown into chaos because Mercury decided to flip a switch.
And it’s not just us. At least 10 other close Founders I know got hit the exact same way — overnight shutdowns, zero transparency, zero accountability.
A bank this size should PROTECT legitimate businesses, not destroy them. This isn’t compliance. This is negligence. Maybe worse.
If this can happen to us, it can happen to ANY founder, ANY startup, ANY business.
So ask yourself:
Are you next?
Will your money be frozen out of the blue?
Will you EVEN be able to get them back?
@mercury @immad — Are you going to fix this? Or should every Founder out there be pulling their money out before it’s too late?

@mercury @immad Mercury just pulled the rug on our business overnight… and it should TERRIFY every founder banking with them.
We are a real, established e-commerce brand. $10M+ in processed revenue. With Mercury for 4 YEARS. Fully compliant. Fully operational.
And then out of nowhere we get an email saying our account will be CLOSED in 2 weeks. No real explanation. No answers from support. Nothing.
Do you understand what that means??
We now have to scramble to move EVERYTHING - payroll, vendors, incoming payments - RIGHT before Q4, the single most important quarter of the year.
This is a NIGHTMARE scenario.
And it’s not just us. At least 5 other founders we know got hit at the exact same time.
A platform this size should PROTECT real businesses, not leave them stranded with a vague “compliance” excuse.
Cutting off trusted brands while offering ZERO transparency is negligence at best, complicity at worst.
What are we supposed to do now??? Mercury won’t tell us WHY. They won’t explain ANYTHING.
We’re employing people who rely on paychecks to feed their families. We’re serving customers who expect us to operate smoothly.
Instead we’re forced into chaos, stress, and potentially MASSIVE losses because Mercury decided to rug pull us.
Think about it for a second…
If this can happen to a $10M+ brand with 4 years of history, it can happen to ANY founder, ANY startup, ANY business.
@mercury @immad - are you going to fix this??? Or should every founder out there start questioning if they’re next?

Have people stopped running new stores this Q4?
Why is nobody complaining about the 7-10 day payouts on all stores created after August 2025?
It's impossible to run a new store with paid ads at the moment.
Shopify has killed dropshipping and ecom in general unless you have hundreds of thousands beforehand.
Contacting Shopify Support everyday and they do absolutely nothing as always.

@harleyf @shopify @tobi @shopifysupport Shopify just killed our business overnight and it’s killing other brands too…
What just happened to us should terrify every real Shopify brand.
We are an established brand in the space, fully protected and generating almost $1M every month.
Yet ALL our products just got suspended because of a DMCA filed by a fake account created YESTERDAY, not many days ago, YESTERDAY, using OUR images with OUR logo still on them.
A platform of this scale should protect real merchants, not enable this kind of fraud to happen so easily.
Suspending an established brand while protecting scammers is negligence at best, complicity at worst.
What are you going to do for that now??? We already provided counter notice immediately and now you’re going to let us wait 10-15 business days to receive an answer?? This is going to cost us HUNDREDS of thousands...
On top of all that, we've employed over 10 people, who rely on their paychecks to feed their kids.
And Shopify pulled the plug overnight… over a DMCA filed by a 1-day-old obviously fake store. Think about it for a second…
We’re living proof Shopify protects scammers more than real merchants.

The more experience I get and the deeper I get into Ecom the more I realise there are so few people that really understand full funnel marketing
From product, to ads, to landing pages, to offers, to email and retention
I would not consider myself one of those people yet, strong in a few areas, decent at some and getting better at others, definitely not a master of all
Being friends with some people that are and seeing what they do first hand is such a hack
Makes it easy to filter out all the bs you see on Twitter and gauge who really understands what they’re talking about and who should and should not be listened to
