Why can't my store accept payments on Shopify?

Why can't my store accept payments on Shopify?

Good afternoon,

Regarding the setup of my Shopify store, during the check-out process, I am encountering an error message stating: "This store cannot accept payments at this time."

After conducting some research, I've come to realize that several potential reasons could be causing this issue. However, none of them seem to apply to my situation:

  • The store is not in a trial period.
  • I have a subscribed plan (thus, not in an experimental phase).
  • The payment option is not in a testing phase.

To provide further context, I am currently utilizing Shopify Payments and have not integrated any additional payment providers such as PayPal or Amazon Pay.

Given the urgency of launching this store, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.

Thank you
