Adding my thoughts to build upon what Seddon has already said:
The store is not the most mission critical work that we do, but it is
working well. It is good to have people wearing Wikipedia t-shirts out
there and to meet the need of the people who want to purchase Wikimedia
merch. It is also a
Above all hosting a shop means:
*production on demand: no "risks" but products become more expensive and
slow to deliver
*warehousing: means immobilizing a certain amount of money at the risk to
accumulate unsold items.

shipment fast. A bit expensive for my taste.)
I agree with other users that the shop schould be hosted on wikimedia servers.
