Events are considered high risk by payment processors because the nature of events is that you sell the tickets before the event (ie. you accept payment without providing the service). Shopify focuses more on people selling physical goods (traditional ecommerce), so maybe consider a platform that caters specifically to events/services - maybe something like woocommerce?.

Funny timing, my app for Shopify is for merchants to sell tickets, and it's featured on the App Store home page right now.

To get your domain out, you may need to send a demand letter from a lawyer to their legal department. Your account is probably long gone, but they cannot confiscate your domain.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to this. I will get prepared for the worst though. Thank you!

Unfortunately they sent this today:

Hello,

Due to your account closure we cannot release your domain.

Thank you,

I wonder what they'll do with it. Let it expire? keep renewing it?
