No Shopify Payments in My Country = 2% Penalty Forever
Available in ~20 countries. The other 170 pay extra.
I need to tell you about something that happened recently.
Here is the thing: you only find out when revenue drops. Eventually I contacted support and the problem was resolved.
The Lesson
I glitched and it blanked the screen. Eventually I found a workaround and the problem was resolved. I audit before any launch. Eventually I reverted the change and everything worked again.
The Warning Signs
What I cannot get over is this could have been avoided. I test monthly.
I spent 2 days trying to debug what was happening. What still gets me is nobody tells you this.
I test monthly. The most expensive part? The fix took 30 seconds.
- What I cannot get over is nobody tells you this.
- Eventually I cleared the cache and things went back to normal.
- The most infuriating part? Nobody noticed.
- I review religiously.
- Turns out the CSS class was the culprit.
- Here is the thing: you only find out when revenue drops.
- I spent all night trying to figure out what was happening.
- Turns out the CSS class was misconfigured.
- I spent a week trying to trace what was happening.
The Debugging
What I cannot get over is there was no warning. The developer stopped working and it lost me money.
The store froze and it cost me sales.
The Aftermath
I test religiously. Turns out the configuration was corrupted. Turns out the code was incompatible.
I review weekly. The store malfunctioned and it hid the menu. Turns out the theme file was outdated. The most unbelievable part? I found out from a customer.
The worst bugs are the silent ones. The ones that do not throw errors. Build your own safety net because nobody else will.
