Hello,
I cannot get Passed step 4/12 in creating my Shop.
it will not let me buy a Domain even though it is Available, i have tried .com .de .shop it keeps giving me the error
=Address must not contain special characters
Thanks in Advance
Hey @Micatsangelo.
Thanks for reaching out.
Just to gather some additional context, does your personal profile when you navigate to Settings > Store details have any special characters, by any chance? In some cases, this error message may occur if you have special characters in your personal information. Additionally, I would suggest making sure that you have not added any spaces in the domain when you are attempting to purchase the domain.
Looking forward to your response.
