> As in, why would I buy from a Shopify store, if an equivalent product were offered by a bundler?

Simple. I know I'm going to get a genuine product. That's the problem with Amazon, people regularly get cheap imitations.

I was under the impression Shopify didn't promise anything about genuine goods to their customers, and were having to deal (haphazardly) with the same fake problems as their larger competitors. [0]

From reading back through their statements over the years it seemed to have shifted from (initial) 'we're a store platform, and take no responsibility for the content of the store' to (now) 'we have [unspecified] teams dedicated to IP infringement and fraudulent stores.'
