I installed this app, and had issues with settings. For two days I chatted with someone in tech support named “Alan”. On day two he asked to be a collaborator to fix the settings, and while in my account he stood $4500 from me. Later that night he tried using my Shopify credit card for to rack up over $2500 in charges, but thankfully the card was already cancelled.
UPDATE:
1. Per screenshots shared by merchant with Shopify and Appstle, the unlawful activity happened via merchant's own sign in credentials, and not Appstle's collaborator account.
2. The timestamp of the unlawful login was before Appstle had any collaborator access to the merchant's store.
3. Per Shopify restrictions for collaborators that the Shopify team shared as a part of the investigation, Appstle and other app partners CANNOT and DO NOT have access to merchant's credit card or finances. Only their staff do. Relevant links are below:

4. Shopify is working with merchant on new login credentials and security.
FIRST RESPONSE:
This is Ria, the Co-founder of Appstle.
We've conducted a thorough review. First and foremost, Shopify collaborator access is strictly limited to the permissions granted by the merchant. Based on Shopify's collaborator permission model, collaborators DO NOT HAVE ACCESS to a store's payment methods or the ability to add, modify, or use a merchant's credit card.
That said, we'd genuinely like to understand what happened and help you get to the bottom of it. We take concerns like this extremely seriously and have started a high-priority ticket with Shopify to investigate this ASAP.
Please feel free to reach out to me anytime at ria@appstle.com. We're committed to understanding what occurred and resolving this matter as quickly and transparently as possible. We are there for you every step of the way.
