Your Shopify $39/mo goes direct to Shopify, on your card. HOO never touches it. Never marks it up. Never even sees it. Two clean bills — yours from us, theirs from them.

Why does HOO build on Shopify and not WordPress?

Because Shopify is more secure, more durable, and easier to keep running than the alternatives — and that matters when your store is making money 24/7. Three reasons below.

Is Shopify secure for credit cards and customer data?

Yes — Shopify is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant out of the box, the same standard a bank uses. Every credit card transaction, every customer login, every personal detail your store collects is secured to that standard, and none of it touches our servers. [Shopify PCI compliance ↗]

Will Shopify still be around in 10 years?

Almost certainly. Shopify is 14 years old, public on the NYSE under $SHOP, and runs roughly 10% of every online store on earth. The platform you build on today will still be there in 2036, and your store with it. [W3Techs CMS market share ↗]

Why is Shopify safer than WordPress?

WordPress sites accounted for roughly 96% of CMS infections cleaned by Sucuri in 2022 — almost all from outdated plugins. Shopify is a closed platform: no plugin exploits, no outdated PHP, no 3am ransomware calls. [Sucuri Hacked Website Report ↗]

We could host your store on cheaper platforms. We don't, because your store's job is to make money 24/7 — not give us a side hobby of patching security holes at midnight.

You'll get two bills every month. One from HOO ($136 or $260). One from Shopify ($39, billed direct to your card). No middleman, no markup, no "trust us, we'll handle the billing."
