As a fellow small business owner with a Shopify store, I've made the commitment to move my business away from Shopify. It's going to take me hundreds of hours to redevelop entire site and recreate all my integrations. But it's the right thing to do.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Shopify's senior management team has made it clear who they are. I believe them.

Hi WGAC team,
First, I want to tell you I love your toilet paper. And I hope to continue buying it.
But here's the thing… I don't know if you're aware of what Shopify senior management team has been up to. They've aligned themselves with fascists.

I've finally done it. I've written an email to businesses I buy from that are still on #Shopify. This will be going out to them all.
If you have a monthly subscription to any product that's not through Amazon, it's probably hosted by Shopify. Dog food That's Shopify. Coffee? You guessed it. Toilet paper? Yep.
Will you join me in writing to small businesses and asking them to consider switching hosts?
I've shared my email template below, though yours may obviously be different.
FEEL FREE TO GOOGLE AND VIEW THE SOURCE OF THE HATE-FILLED NEWS WEBSITES AND ECOMMERCE WEBSITES CREATED WITH SHOPIFY.
FYI The US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms means the governments don't come after you for the hate you spew/sell, etc.
THE PEOPLE CAN BOYCOTT YOUR BS TO PROP UP THE HATE, HELP CREATE THE WEBSITES TO SELL THEIR HATE MERCHANDISE, ETC.
As if Shopify's policies of propping up Breitbart, QAnon, Proud Boys, etc. wasn't reason enough to dump Shopify in the past, right?
If you deal with #Shopify for your website, etc., consider dumping them immediately.

“These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source,” Tobi Lutke, who co-founded Shopify, said…Ryan King (New York Post)
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.
