Cyber insurance

As a new business owner about to launch a store selling sexual wellness for women, I’ve had trouble sourcing insurance but finally 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 have my public liability sorted.

I’m working out if I need cyber insurance as well. I thought I would need it, but it’s very hard to source for my industry and extremely expensive.

Do you have that cover for your business and does Shopify have some sort of protection for customers when purchasing on the platform or being on the CRM system?

Thank you 🙏

Launching new store in Australia - help!

Hi I’m just about to launch a store selling vibrators and lives etc in Australia and I’ve been told although I can have a shopify storefront, I can’t use Shop pay and need a third party payment gateway

Im really annoyed as I didn’t factor in having to pay additional fees on each transaction and I didn’t want to pay high fees to a high risk merchant when I’m selling high end products to women that is very vanilla

I can see other stores in Australia using Shopify and shop pay selling the same things so my questions are:

  1. Do I just run the risk and launch and see how I go with Shop Pay?

  2. Are there any good third party high risk merchants that don’t charge huge amounts or require you to be already making large volume sales

  3. Am I better just to jump ship now before i launch to Bigcommerce or similar?

  4. Are payment brokers a thing?

Thank you so much- I’ve already spent so much money on development and stock and it’s such a steep learning curve that my product choice just keeps causing roadblocks!!

Complete newbie so appreciate the advice! 😅🙏

New ecommerce store on Shopify selling adult products - Australia

Hi I’m just about to launch a store selling vibrators and lives etc in Australia and I’ve been told although I can have a shopify storefront, I can’t use Shop pay and need a third party payment gateway

Im really annoyed as I didn’t factor in having to pay additional fees on each transaction and I didn’t want to pay high fees to a high risk merchant when I’m selling high end products to women that is very vanilla

I can see other stores in Australia using Shopify and shop pay selling the same things so my questions are:

  1. Is it worth just running the risk and using shop pay?

  2. What are the best third party payment merchants that don’t charge a fortune

  3. Am I better just to move from Shopify before I start trading?

  4. How do brokers work?

Thank you so much- I’m completely new to this and it’s been a steep learning curve ! 😅🙏
