Shopify hides the 3D Secure setting, leading to fraud chargebacks, account bans, and fund holds of up to a year, with no appeal, while paying influencers to recruit new sellers.
Shopify forces 3D Secure to be off by default, hides the setting to enable it, and offers no appeal process when accounts are suspended and funds held.
