I opened a new store and clicked on it and got a message under my name.

Since the store is for a business I run, it makes it look like the business is unsuccessful. 
LOL...Or, I am...
0 Followers since 2012. 

I think it should say underneath the store name:
Opened 2024 . 0 Followers
or
Joined 2012 . 1800 Followers (My actual number of followers from other stores.)

If not, I'd like an option to turn off the joined date and followers data, as, I don't really want this store as my real name since I'm trying to run it as part of a business.  Thanks

Hey @ameliacarrie,

Thank you for your suggestion, I will let the team know.

I agree with this. My joined date is pretty misleading. It says 2013. However, I got sick right after I opened the store and didn't return until 2016 or so. If I had realized that this was going to be made public. I would have deleted my first identity and started all over. I don't understand why start date and followers are so important.

I agree. My start date shown is misleading too. I happened to buy a couple of t-shirts on Zazzle back in 2014, little knowing at the time that I would eventually be opening a store here a few years later, which I did in 2018. I didn’t even connect it was the same place where I’d bought the t-shirts until I subsequently noticed my joining date was shown as 2014. I think it would be better if the date shown was for the date of actually opening a store, however it would be good to be given the option not to display start date and number of followers if at all possible.
