Questions
Will this get my payouts released?
We can't promise that, and nobody outside Shopify honestly can. Only Shopify and its payment processors decide. What we provide is organization: knowing what Shopify's pages say applies, what to gather, and how to ask clearly.
What information do you need?
A description of what happened and, if you like, a redacted excerpt of Shopify's message. We never ask for passwords, card numbers, bank account numbers or ID documents.
What happens to my answers?
They are encrypted, used only to build your checklist and package, and deleted automatically after 30 days. You can delete them yourself at any time from your case page. See our privacy notice.
Do you use AI to write my package?
No. The package is assembled from reviewed templates plus your own words. Nothing is sent to an AI provider.
