Shopify answers, setup guides, troubleshooting checklists, release explainers, and common setup misunderstandings.
Variant-specific text or metafields show correctly on page load but stay stale after selection? Liquid rendered once; the theme needs variant-change JavaScript or section rendering.
Shopify Flow does not provide a normal try/catch branch inside a workflow. Use run history, retries, Fail workflow run, and a separate error-triggered workflow.
Shopify shows a product as out of stock even though inventory exists? Check fulfillment locations, shipping profiles, app locations, and variant settings.
A Shopify app proxy returning 404 often has a renamed subpath, undeployed TOML configuration, or a backend route mismatch. Here is what to verify.
A Shopify customer suddenly being asked for a password usually means the store uses legacy customer accounts or the customer needs a new account invite.
Shopify taxes not showing at checkout? Check tax regions, product tax settings, included-tax display, Markets tax settings, and customer address.
Shopify app proxy works directly but fails through the storefront? Check proxy prefix/subpath, relative fetch URLs, route handling, and signed requests.
Shopify password reset emails not arriving? Check whether the customer has accepted an invite, uses legacy accounts, or should use passwordless login.
Products active in Shopify but missing from a collection? Check collection logic, sales-channel publishing, product status, inventory, and theme filtering.
