The problem

Reporting to Shopify manually is slow, technical, and easy to get wrong

Shopify requires you to locate the correct DMCA form, identify every infringing URL on the merchant's store, and restate your ownership claim under penalty of perjury — a process that must be repeated for each store copying you.

What typically gets stolen on Shopify

  • Copied product photos
  • Stolen product descriptions
  • Counterfeit branded goods
  • Cloned store designs

Why the manual route hurts

  • Every infringing URL must be documented and entered one by one.
  • A single missing statutory element gets your notice rejected — and you start over.
  • Repeat infringers re-list within days, forcing you to repeat the entire process.
  • While you wait, the listing keeps selling against you.
