Honestly, I was skeptical about shopify residential ip too, but I gave it a shot last month.
The main difference I noticed was fewer blocks when scraping or running ads.
Load times were slightly better, but not a game-changer.
If you’re gonna try it, go with a trusted provider like Bright Data or Oxylabs.
Avoid the cheap ones—they’re usually recycled IPs that get flagged fast.
It’s not a magic bullet, but for geo-targeting and avoiding bans, it’s worth the investment imo.
