Shopify cart notes can appear in the cart but disappear before the order is created. Check the field name, cart form placement, AJAX updates, and accelerated checkout behavior.
A Shopify domain can remain on SSL Pending when DNS records, CAA records, DNSSEC, proxies, or certificate provisioning block TLS issuance. Use this troubleshooting order.
Shopify can rewrite an unauthenticated sender address and show via shopifyemail.com. Authenticate the sending domain with Shopify’s CNAME records and add DMARC.
Theme editor changes can fail because of browser/session issues, wrong theme or market, invalid schema, broken JSON settings, or editing a non-live template.
Shopify discounts do not combine automatically. Each discount must allow the right combination classes and still satisfy eligibility rules at checkout.
Shopify storefront search checks more than product titles. Unrelated results usually match hidden text in tags, descriptions, vendors, types, variants, or indexed data.
A Checkout UI extension must be installed, deployed, available to the store, and added to the checkout editor or the right target. Deployment alone is not enough.
ERP inventory syncs can cause overselling when they overwrite Shopify Available quantities instead of syncing the right location and inventory state.
Shopify controls customer-account routes. New customer accounts redirect legacy URLs automatically, and URL Redirects are not the right tool for overriding login.
