If the new checkout is Spreadshirt-branded not shop-branded, has no links back to the shop and/or takes customers to Spreadshirt's site upon cart exits, then this turns shops into little more than one-way "on-ramps" to our competitor the Spreadshirt marketplace, with no easy way back.

I doubt any shopowners will tolerate being unpaid marketers for Spreadshirt's marketplace spending their own time, money and effort to find and drive new customers to their shops who quickly hit the cart and are sent straight to our competitor so we likely never see them again.

If this is so, there will almost certainly be a mass exodus of shopowners leaving Spreadshirt for competitors who don't do this.

Can anyone from Spreadshirt clarify this ASAP? Will a shop-friendly version of the new cart be made? If so, when? Are any of my assumptions incorrect?

Thanks.
