[albanec]

Alright, you degenerates. Today we're going headfirst into the world of Shopify cashing out–the carder's equivalent of turning water into wine, except it's CVVs into cold, hard cash. If you've been following my other guides, you know we don't fuck around with basic shit. This isn't some "How to Set Up a Lemonade Stand" tutorial. We're talking about crafting a fullblown money laundering operation disguised as a legitimate ecommerce business.



Now before you get your panties in a twist thinking this is gonna be easy money let me burst that bubble real quick: this method requires more brain cells than your average "card and pray" approach. We're building a house of cards here and one wrong move can send the whole thing crashing down.



In this two-part guide, we'll cover the unholy trinity of Shopify fraud:

• Creating bulletproof Shopify accounts


• Carding the living shit out of them


• Actually getting your hands on that sweet cash

Part One's gonna be all about setting up shop. We'll create a Shopify store so legit looking it'll make even you believe in your shop. Part Two will cover the practical steps of turning those transactions into cold, hard cash without leaving a trail.



This isn't for the the smooth brained carder stuck in their old ways of thinking. If you're looking for a get rich quick scheme, go buy a lottery ticket. But if you're ready to put in the work and have the balls to play in the big leagues, stick around. We're about to turn your carding game into a full-fledged enterprise.



Strap in because it's time to learn how to launder money like a pro while Shopify's algorithms are none the wiser. By the end of this series, you'll be running circles around Shopify's security. Let's get this show on the road.

Why Shopify?

Let's talk about why Shopify is the carders playground to cash out. While everyone is chasing Stripe merchants, the smart carders are already exploiting Shopify's weaknesses.



Shopify Payments is a carders dream come true. Once you're approved you get paid out the next day. No "we'll pay you when we feel like it" nonsense like with Stripe and other processors. Speed is key in this game and Shopify delivers.



Now here's the beauty of it all: Shopify Payments is basically Stripe in a cheap disguise. It's the same underlying tech, but Shopify's fraud detection is about as smart as a rock. While Stripe's AI is digging through your entire digital profile, Shopify's just sitting in the corner like a blind retard.



Shopify's versatility is what makes it a carders playground. You can process a ton of transactions before anyone blinks. Selling digital goods, physical products and services? Shopify doesn't care. This is perfect for creating believable storefronts.



Setting up shop is a piece of cake too. You can have a professional looking store up and running in no time. The easier it is to create legit looking fronts the more we can exploit. And Shopify comes with marketing tools, analytics and even fulfillment services. They're basically begging us to create fake businesses.



But the icing on the cake is Shopify's reputation. When you're processing transactions through a Shopify store you're using their reputation. You won't have any problem with your bank's KYC as you can just point them to your 'legit' Shopify store.



So while the noobs are struggling to get approved on Stripe, we're setting up shop on Shopify, processing cards like there's no tomorrow and cashing out in lightning speedd.



Now let's get into how to set up these cash cows without tripping every alarm in the financial world.



Requirements







Running a Shopify cash-out operation isn't like setting up your lemonade stand. This shit requires some serious groundwork, especially if you're aiming for a US-based setup. Here's what you need to get your digital money laundering machine up and running:

• US Bank Account: First things first, you need a US bank account. Not just any bank account mind you. We're talking about one that won't shut you down easily. Credit unions and smaller banks are your best bet. They're usually too busy jerking off to their small-town charm to notice your suspicious activity.


• US Registered Business: Uncle Sam wants his cut, so you'll need a legit looking business. LLC is the way to go here. It's easy to set up and provides a nice layer of protection between your fraudulent ass and the feds. Delaware, Wyoming or New Mexico as we will explain later are your go-to states. They're like the Switzerland of the US - they'll keep your secrets safe.


• EIN (Employer Identification Number): This is your business's social security number. You'll need it to open bank accounts, file taxes and generally pretend you're a contributing member of society.


• Virtual Office Address: Don't use your mom's basement as your business address, dipshit. Get a virtual office. It'll give you a legit-looking address for all your correspondence and make you seem like a real business instead of a fly-by-night operation.


• Aged Domain: Shopify might be dumber than a bag of rocks, but they're not completely braindead. An aged domain adds legitimacy to your operation. Aim for something at least a year old. Bonus points if it's got some history of actual, non-fraudulent use.


• Clean Device and IP: For the love of all that's holy, don't set this up on the same laptop you use to browse Pornhub. Get a clean device, preferably a Macbook (because nothing says "legitimate business" like overpriced hardware). And use a clean residential IP.

I Don't Have Any of This Shit!

For you broke-ass fraudsters, I hear you. You're sitting in some dump of a country, dreaming of US-based carding glory but you've got jack shit to work with. Don't worry because I've got you covered.



First off, let's address the elephant in the room: getting all this legit shit when you're not even in the US is a pain in the ass. But here's the thing: we're carders. We don't play by the rules because we make our own.



Now there are "legitimate" ways to set up US businesses from abroad. Companies like Wyoming LLC Attorney will help you set up an LLC for about $200. They'll even renew it for you next year for another $160. Sounds great, right? Wrong. That's for pussies who plan on running real businesses. We're here for the quick and dirty cash grab.



Here's how we're going to do it:



1. LLC and EIN:



We're going to card our way to legitimacy boys and girls. Find an LLC formation service that takes credit cards and doesn't ask too many questions. Popular options are ZenBusiness, LegalZoom or IncFile. Use your best CVVs to pay the bill.

Pro Tip: Wyoming, Delaware and New Mexico are your holy trinity for business formation. They're like the Bermuda Triangle of corporate transparency: shit goes in, nothing comes out.

For the EIN, let the LLC service handle it. It's cleaner and simpler and reduces the number of places we're leaving our digital fingerprints.



2. US Bank Account:



We're going to go with Mercury or Relay for this one. Shopify is picky about where it sends its cash and won't play nice with Chime, Varo or Cash App Business accounts. Here's how we'll do this:



Mercury: These guys love a good story so spin one. Use your carded LLC info to tell them a story of a growing ecommerce empire. Make sure your fake website looks the part. If they reject you, don't worry. Go for Plan B.



Relay: They're a bit easier to fool than Mercury but still need some work. Use the same LLC info and backstory. Relay loves "tech-savvy" businesses so play that angle hard.



For both, you'll need:

• Your carded LLC documentation


• A convincing business plan (make some shit up but make it good)


• A professional-looking website (carded, of course)


• Fake invoices or contracts to show "ongoing business"

Remember that these banks might be easier than traditional ones but they're not complete pushovers. Your story needs to be airtight. Practice your lies until they sound like the gospel truth.



3. Virtual Office Address:



Good news for lazy fraudsters - your LLC formation service should handle this for you. When you're setting up your LLC, make sure you're opting for their registered agent service. This typically includes a business address in the state where you're incorporating.



Here's the beautiful part: many of these services also offer mail forwarding. This means when your shiny new debit card arrives from Mercury or Relay they'll forward it to wherever you want. It's like having a personal mail mule minus the cavity searches.

Pro tip: If you're feeling extra paranoid, set up a chain of forwarding addresses. LLC address > P.O. Box > Your actual drop. It's like playing hot potato with the feds.

4. Aged Domain:



An aged domain with a clean history is your digital fake ID. Here's where to look:

• ExpiredDomains.net: This site's the goat. Filter for domains with high Domain Authority (DA) and a clean history.


• GoDaddy Auctions: Sometimes you can snag a beauty here. Check the domain history thoroughly.

What you're looking for:

• At least 2 years old


• Consistent nich


• Decent Domain Authority (30+)


• Clean history (use Archive.org to check)

Remember your domain is your store's face. Make it look good and make it believable.



When buying use crypto if you can. If you must card use a different card than the one you used for the LLC. Spread that risk like butter on toast.



We're not building a long term business here. We're setting up a quick flip. The goal is to get in, get as much out as possible and get out before anyone notices. It's like a digital smash and grab.



Now I know some of you are thinking, "But albanec, what about taxes and all that legal stuff?" Let me make this clear: We. Don't. Give. A. Fuck. We're not here to become upstanding citizens. We're here to make money and disappear.



One last thing: scale this shit. Don't just set up one LLC. Set up ten, twenty, fifty if you can. Each one is a cash cow. When one gets burned move on to the next. It's like playing whack-a-mole with the feds and you're the mole operator.



Building the Shopify Store







Now we have our fake foundation we can build our digital shop. We're not going for ecommerce of the year here, just something that will pass Shopify's half assed verification process.



Head to Shopify.com. Use that aged domain email you got earlier - it adds a bit of credibility that will make Shopify's algorithms happy. When choosing a store name match it to your LLC. Consistency is key in this game of digital dress up.



Fill out every field Shopify gives you. The more complete your profile the less likely you are to raise any red flags. Use your carded LLC details like you mean it.



For products here's a pro tip: Use import tools to populate your store with minimal effort. Oberlo or DSers can import items from AliExpress, with images and descriptions. This does two things: fills your store fast and camouflages you in a sea of dropshipping stores.



Just pick a niche, hit import and boom - you've got a full catalog. Tweak a few descriptions to not look completely copy pasted. This saves time and makes your store look like just another dropshipping store. In the world of ecommerce fraud being unremarkable is your best disguise.



Remember we're not actually selling this crap. We're just creating a facade for our money laundering operation. The more your store looks like a dime a dozen dropshipping store the less likely it is to get attention.



Now for the fun part - payments. Go to Settings > Payments and set up Shopify Payments. This is your lifeline to quick payouts so don't half ass it. Fill out every detail with your LLC info.







Don't forget the boring stuff - Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Return Policy. Yeah it's a pain in the ass but it makes your store look legit. Throw together an "About Us" page too. Spin a yarn about your passion for whatever crap you're selling.



For contact info use your virtual office address and a Google Voice number. Set up email forward from your domain to a secure anonymous email.



Wrapping Up Part One: The Foundation of Your Empire

You digital desperados, we've covered a lot. We've built the foundation of our Shopify money laundering machine and if you've been paying attention you're now equipped to build a storefront that could fool your own mom.



Remember what old Abe Lincoln said: "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." That's exactly what we've done here. We've sharpened our axe to a fine point, built LLCs, opened bank accounts and built Shopify stores that are cleaner than a priest's browser history.



This may seem like a lot of work but it's the foundation of your entire operation. A half-assed store is like bringing a knife to a shootout - you're dead before you even start. Take your time, get it right and you'll have a money printing machine that'll make your carder buddies jealous.



In our next installment we're getting into the real stuff. We're talking about turning those fake storefronts into card gobbling, cash spitting monsters. We'll cover:

• How to card your own store without setting off every alarm from here to Timbuktu


• How to generate believable transactions


• Cashing out techniques that'll have you swimming in digital dollars

But remember none of that matters if you screw this part up. So take your time, build your stores right and for fucks sake pay attention to the details. The more time you spend on setup the smoother your cash out will be.



Stay frosty, keep your OPSEC tight and get ready for the real fun to begin. This is just the start of your Shopify fraud adventure.
