Shopify has shut us down!!!
Shopify is the platform we use as the interface of our online shop.
After much rushing about and trying to sort out the IT issues of this morning, our IT company informed us that Shopify has shut down our online shop. They informed us that we were notified in August last year.
On investigation an email was found in a Junk Folder.
Requests for time to try comply appears to be of no consequence and we have been told the store has now been removed, but we’re welcome to start a new one if we’d like that complies with their AUP…
It's almost as though people who set up the AUP have no interest in firearm, safety, security and outdoors and are blatantly victimising sites and pages that do business in this area.
We do not take this lightly and strongly believe that we should push back against these dictates. We are proud, legal firearms owners, and sell stuff to likeminded individuals. It’s neither illegal or immoral. So we have made the decision to “Bite the Bullet” and get on with kick starting a new online shop.
It’s not all doom and gloom though. Our walk-in store is still going strong. We still have loads of stock. We can still process orders manually and our door to door delivery is still in place.
We just won’t be able to process online orders at the moment. We do however have a team of Gun friendly IT Geeks looking for a solution that is gun, prepper, security, self defence and outdoor friendly.
Please hang in there and keep the orders coming, we may be a little slower for the next little while, but we’re as committed and willing as we’ve always been.
Thank you all so very much for your ongoing and much valued support.
Please feel free to contact us on sales@tacqm.co.za or 0114777031

Re: Shopify has shut us down!!!
Shopify was on out list as an eComm platform a while back.
Three things stopped us.
1) The usurious transaction fees.
2) Exporting of our own data off Shopify was not possible.
3) Their anti firearm stance.
We have run Opencart for 8 years now. Zero issues.Israeli Carry is for dead people

I see another firearm dealers website has also been shut down. Not sure if they use the same platform

The thought control police are a bunch of assholes.
Don’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.
