So there’s this baseball media company. They make shirts about guys with nicknames like “The Big Dumper.” And they needed three different store experiences, but only wanted to use one store. What our co-host Paul Reda figured out next is either brilliant or insane. Maybe both.

Today on the show, we’re asking: when does a hack become a feature? When does one store become three? And why would anyone voluntarily remove every frontend app from their Shopify store? Plus, ChatGPT can now sell your products directly. No, really. We’ll explain how that works and why Kurt thinks automated fraud prevention might actually matter this time.
