In other words, as a Shopify Client subscription, you authorize their software services and site services. So, you own a sophisticated e-commerce site with ease. Shopify puts this badge on any footer of new stores and on the password pages. To be clearer, this default tag is not proof of unsuspecting Shopify store owners.

Also, they feel empowered to show what the merchants have achieved using their e-commerce architecture and their free themes.
