Why does an online storefront framework need a fucking app, anyway?

You should express your distaste to Dropout directly - they made the decision to subject their buyers to this trash
Seconding this. Dropout listens to feedback. They've shown enough grace in the past for me to assume it's not intentional - there's a good chance the storefront didn't even operate like that when they set it up. It's a textbook enshittification pattern. If I were them, I'd want to know.
Stuff like this may be in their contract with their store vendor too. If this enshitification happened in breach of a contract there can be hell to pay.
