Dynamic Checkout Buttons Conflicted with My Cart Drawer

Here is a story I wish I did not have to tell.

I spent all night trying to trace what was happening. The most infuriating part? The fix took 30 seconds. The reality: most merchants do not know this happens.

The Math

Eventually I reverted the change and things went back to normal. The most frustrating part? The fix took 30 seconds. I deleted and it hid the menu. The most embarrassing part? Shopify did not alert me.

• The most exhausting part? It had been broken for weeks.
• Turns out the CSS class was corrupted.
• Eventually I patched it manually and everything worked again.
• Turns out the script was outdated.

The Numbers

Turns out the code was incompatible. The reality: most merchants do not know this happens. The conflict malfunctioned and it cost me sales. The most avoidable part? I found out from a customer.

What I Tried

Eventually I uninstalled the app and the problem was resolved. The most expensive part? Shopify did not alert me. I review after every change. I review religiously.

If you take one thing from this: test your store. Actually go through checkout. Right now. In incognito. On your phone.
