Problem and result

Shopify Checkout Error: A Checkout That Lets the Order Through

A checkout error is the most expensive fault a store can have, because the shopper has already decided to buy. Because checkout is hosted by Shopify, the cause is nearly always a setting or an app, and a test order is the way to find it.

Before

Orders that stop at the last step

Shoppers see an error, no shipping option, a declined payment message or a page that will not advance. Some give up and you may never hear about it.

After

A checkout that completes

The cause is traced by test orders and fixed in your settings or apps. Checkout is retested on phone and desktop, in your selling countries and with your payment methods.

What is included

What Your Checkout Fix Includes

When you fix checkout errors, you get the test orders, the diagnosis and the retest.

Implementation checklist

  • The error reproduced with test orders in the situations it occurs
  • Shipping rates and zones checked against the addresses that fail
  • Payment methods checked for each country and currency
  • Products checked for stock, weight and shipping settings
  • Discount, market and domain settings reviewed
  • Apps and scripts that touch checkout identified
  • The fix made in the setting or app that causes it
  • A plain note of the cause and how to avoid it

Checkout is hosted and controlled by Shopify, so we fix settings and apps and cannot edit checkout code on most plans. An error from Shopify's own platform incident is not the store's to fix, and we say so if that is the cause.

From an Error at the Last Step to an Order That Completes

How it works

How We Handle Your Checkout Fault Diagnosis, Step by Step

Six steps take the checkout fault diagnosis from your order to a live, tested result, and nothing changes on the live store until you approve it.

  1. 1

    Purchase

    Pick a package, set the options for your checkout fault diagnosis and pay at checkout, and the price you see is the price you pay.

  2. 2

    Access

    Invite us as a collaborator and complete the quick brief for the checkout fault diagnosis, which keeps your account and passwords entirely under your control.

  3. 3

    Build in a duplicate theme

    A separate copy of your theme holds the checkout fault diagnosis while we build, which leaves the live store untouched.

  4. 4

    QA

    We run the checkout fault diagnosis through a test pass on small phones, tablets and desktop screens and correct what we find.

  5. 5

    Handover

    When you approve the checkout fault diagnosis we move it to the live theme and give you a plain summary of what was done.

  6. 6

    Support

    After launch you can ask us about the checkout fault diagnosis, and any extra work is priced before it begins.

What we need to get started

What We Need to Get Fix Checkout Errors/Issues Started

We need a way into the store and a few facts about the checkout fault diagnosis, and the options below keep both simple and reversible.

Collaborator access

Approve our collaborator request for the checkout fault diagnosis from your Shopify admin, and you remain the owner and can revoke access the moment the work is finished.

No store yet? We build it first

No store yet means we build the checkout fault diagnosis in our Partner account and you take over the finished store, picking your plan at that point.

Prefer to share a login?

For the checkout fault diagnosis you may share a staff login instead, though the collaborator route is easier to revoke and is what we usually advise.

The error

Send the exact message or a screenshot and the steps shoppers take.

Where it fails

Tell us the product, country and payment method where it fails.

One decision maker

A named person to approve the checkout fault diagnosis helps us finish it within the two revision rounds that come with every package.

If you are not sure which route fits your checkout fault diagnosis, tell us in the short form after checkout and we will recommend one.
