This file is generated automatically from the site's article and FAQ registries at build time — do not edit it by hand. Corpus last updated: 2026-08-01; it lists 131 articles and 29 FAQ answers, grouped by topic, each with a one-line summary. Every URL below is server-prerendered HTML at its canonical address, so fetching it returns the full page rather than an empty app shell. Articles are written by AI under human editorial direction and fact-checked against primary Shopify sources before publication — the editorial policy is linked under Optional. Prices, fees and plan limits are accurate as of each article's publish or update date; re-verify current Shopify pricing before quoting it.

## FAQ

- [Can Shopify send an invoice to a customer?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/can-shopify-send-an-invoice-to-a-customer/): Not by default: you send it yourself from a draft order or one in Payment pending status, print one with Shopify Order Printer, or use the free standalone generator. (published 2026-08-01)
- [Can you cancel a Shopify order after you place it?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/can-you-cancel-a-shopify-order/): Sometimes — but not on its own.

- [Does Shopify file and remit sales tax for you?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-file-sales-tax-for-you/): No by default.

- [Does Shopify integrate with QuickBooks?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-integrate-with-quickbooks/): Yes — but through App Store apps rather than a sales connector Shopify publishes. Intuit's own QuickBooks Online app is free to install; Shopify documents Desktop only for POS migrations. (published 2026-08-01)
- [Does Shopify require two-step authentication?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-require-two-step-authentication/): By default no — the choice is left to the user.

- [Is the Shop app safe?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/is-the-shop-app-safe/): Yes — Shopify Inc. publishes the app, and Shop Pay keeps shipping and billing details on PCI compliant servers. The stores inside are listed automatically once they qualify. (published 2026-08-01)
- [Can Shopify shut down your store?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/can-shopify-shut-down-your-store/): Yes.

(published 2026-07-30)
- [Does Shopify have a CRM?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-have-a-crm/): No. Shopify publishes no product called a CRM and no deal pipeline. Customer profiles, ShopifyQL segments, Shopify Messaging automations and Flow triggers are documented in the admin. (published 2026-07-30)
- [Do Shopify QR codes expire?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-qr-code-expire/): No. Codes from Shopify's free QR generator carry no expiry date — each stays active until you delete it. What breaks is the page or offer behind it, not the printed code. (published 2026-07-30)
- [Does Shopify support cash on delivery?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-support-cash-on-delivery/): Yes.

- [Does Shopify verify age?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-verify-age/): No. Shopify verifies nobody's age automatically. Its Terms require the account owner to be 18 or the local age of majority, and gating customers takes an app or a Function. (published 2026-07-30)
- [Does Shopify have phone support?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-have-phone-support/): No — Shopify publishes no support number to call. Phone help is limited to Shopify Plus, the Retail plan and POS Pro; everyone else gets 24/7 chat in the Help Center. (published 2026-07-27)

- [Does Shopify verify sellers?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-verify-sellers/): No — Shopify isn't a marketplace, so stores go live without review and no verified-seller badge exists.

- [Does Shopify offer buyer protection?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-have-buyer-protection/): No — Shopify isn't a marketplace, so there's no single buyer guarantee.

- [Does Shopify take a cut of your sales?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/does-shopify-take-a-cut-of-sales/): No — Shopify is not a marketplace and takes no percentage of your sales.

- [Is Shop the same as Shopify?](https://shopify.ecom-store.pro/faq/is-shop-the-same-as-shopify/): No — Shopify is the commerce platform merchants use to run stores; Shop is Shopify's consumer shopping app. Same company, two products: one for sellers, one for buyers. (published 2026-07-19)
