I'm sorry but Shopify has always been focused on profit and lock-in, which is why they don't allow tools that move customers away from the platform and will stop paying resellers (all) their recurring commission if you don't add enough new customers to the platform every year.

And now your stepping on their transaction profits which are substantial, considering the amounts they process.

Shopify resellers (affiliates), not merchants.

Which makes sense - don't sell data to the shady intermediaries keep it with the merchants. Merchants should own their client list not some developer intermediary who is trying to make money on that data.
