Those who do cross-border business know that IP has always been an important parameter used by cross-border platforms to detect accounts, whether it is Amazon or eBay, and the same is true for the independent site Shopify, so it is best for a machine to have a fixed IP.
Many merchants who run independent websites will consider using IP isolation to prevent association. So how to use it correctly to prevent IP from being restricted and ensure store security? Please pay attention to the following four IP usage issues!
1. Do I need to use a specific IP type?
The answer is no; Shopify does not have strict requirements on IP addresses, and does not require a fixed IP address. As long as it is consistent with your store registration address, it will be fine; therefore, both dynamic and static IP addresses are options.
However, be careful not to change the backend login IP address frequently, otherwise Shopify will think that your account is in an unsafe state and will be temporarily banned. So just make sure you log in to your Shopify store in a stable and secure network environment.
2. How many stores can be opened under one IP?
Shopify is an independent website platform, so you don’t have to worry about the negative impact of logging into multiple stores with one IP address. However, it should be noted that many IP addresses on the market are not pure, and many IP addresses are used by multiple people, which means that many stores may be opened under one address, so that a large number of registered websites in a short period of time will be judged as malicious registrations by the official, resulting in official restrictions on IPs.
Therefore, it is recommended to use a pure proxy. Take Kookeey's global proxy as an example. Exclusive pure proxy is safer and more stable. You can use one IP to correspond to a small number of stores, or more cautiously, one IP to correspond to a local site, and operate a local store in a supporting manner.
3. What are the requirements for IP addresses?
The only thing Shopify stipulates is that the registration address, shipping address, and IP address of the same account must be consistent. Otherwise, you will be subject to customs duties, payment and shipping delays, and will not be able to use some of Shopify's benefits such as Shopify balance, capital, third-party applications, and templates.
Note: Try not to use a domestic email address to register. The chances of your account being blocked will also increase.
That is to say, if you open an overseas store and choose overseas, then the IP address you log in to must be an overseas address, and your account will be suspended or terminated. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep the IP address consistent with the registered address.
4. What should I do if the IP address is unstable?
Some partners will say that my account often needs to be logged in by different employees, so the login IP address often changes. However, if it is too frequent, the platform will determine that your account is not safe and will temporarily block the store. You need to apply for unblocking by email. Therefore, try to use one IP address to log in to the store backend. If multiple people need to collaborate, you can integrate the proxy IP into a single environment in the fingerprint browser, and multiple members can use one environment, which is easy to solve.
Although Shopify has relatively few regulations on store IP addresses, sellers must also pay attention, otherwise your account will be at high risk. It is very important to choose a reliable IP proxy, and Kookeey supports the integration of most mainstream fingerprint browsers on the market. If you are preparing to open a Shopify independent station, you might as well try it!
