For years I thought Shopify backed up my store. It doesn't. Shopify keeps the platform running, but your products, images, themes and orders are your job, and there's no undo button or trash can.
Black Friday is when that bites. Bulk price changes, CSV imports, page builders and AI tools all hit your store at once, and Rewind says 85% of data loss is human error.
Dan Laframboise from Rewind and I score your store with a 10-question checklist. Then Dan deletes a body wash product live and brings it back, wipes all 39 products and runs a bulk restore. We also cover staging stores, add-to-cart monitoring and when to freeze changes.
Watch this before you change anything else.
