        I have my own domain, when I purchase something from somewhere I use website@mydomain and it forwards to my main email. Shopify wants you to use the same address for every different shop that uses the platform, plus it ties your phone number to an email. This caused issues when i had to make business purchases but it was trying to complete them as a personal purchase.

        For a while it also would only give you tracking via its app.

        There are many shops that have taken a step backwards in terms of appearance, usability, search ability, etc since they changed to Shopify.

          I see! Thank you very much for the experienced viewpoints!
          May I ask, is there an alternative option you would recommend or found actually better?
          Did you choose to self-host your own service?
