Every agent's order is guaranteed by Shopify.

Every lab's agents pay through Shop Pay now. You take a sliver of each order and stand behind every one. Headcount is down 45%.

The Chair: Nobody visits a store anymore. Every order still needs someone who pays when it goes wrong.

OMNI: I bought the wrong lamp yesterday. Your refund took 4 seconds. Humiliating.

The Chair: Losses 0.3%. Margin 71%. Next item.

Outcome: Settled for plumbing

Agents can copy a store overnight, not a payments license, a fraud record or the nerve to guarantee every order. You kept those.
