Hi, @Tristanxlee and @MSM_Jewelers

Rae from Shopify here. I'm helping out my colleague Hank with this thread, and I wanted to check in with you both on this error you're receiving. 

I'd really like to have our Support team look into this further for you both, so please contact our team directly by visiting our Help Center, logging in to your accounts, and submitting a support request with us there. This will authenticate your accounts correctly so that our team can continue discussing this situation with you both over live chat, email, or though a callback.

However, @Tristanxlee, in order for our team to help further with this, we do need to speak with the account owner of your client's store, so please have that person follow the above steps on their end. That way, we can help resolve this as soon as possible. 

@MSM_Jewelers, I know you also mentioned you were having troubles getting ahold of our Support team. With this in mind, if you're still unable to see our contact options in our Help Center using this link, then please clear your browser cache, or use Chrome Incognito mode to access our Help Center instead. 

Since these details should help resolve the troubles you're both facing, I've marked my reply as the solution to this thread. That should help benefit other merchants who are experiencing the same issue, as it outlines the steps that they can also follow to reach a resolution on their end. 

Please keep me posted on how these steps go for you both!

Hi, @Buckley,

Hank here from Shopify.

Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with your admin, when did you first notice this, or did you receive any error messages in your admin prior to not being able to access it? What is the current message you are seeing?

As your website is working, there is a chance it may be a localized issue that is preventing you from accessing your admin. Can you try opening your admin using incognito mode to see if this works? If it does, then can you try clearing your cache?

Let me know how you get on, and we will get this resolved!

All the best,

Hank

That certainly seems odd.

What I'd like to do is query this with our escalated accounts team. Now as this is account specific, I will just need to verify your account. I will send you an email to the email address attached to this forum's account and confirm some security questions about your store.

Once you reply to that email, I will look into this further for you.

Same problem here and it is been going on for 2 weeks and trying to contact support is sending me down the rabbit hole.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of support?

Thanks,

Mark

I also have the same issue with my store, orders are waiting to be fulfilled and we cannot access these.  
I have emailed the legal team regarding this without any reply and have talked to them on the phone without any success.
