The way Shopify is tricking users into saving their payment info is very deceptive.
1. It is enabled by default
A very debatable decision to save payment info by default.
2. Masking it as a legalese paragraph
Stripe at least uses a noticeable checkmark. Many users learned to read what the checkmarks say and remove them.
Shopify has an identical feature, but instead it is a paragraph with a small "Not now" hyperlink to fight this behavior. Doesn't even register as part of the form.

@Sominemo@collar.place come now, when has anything ever gone wrong with saving people's confidential personal and payment info without their consent?
