Blank Admin page (tried 4 browsers, normal/incognito)

Topic summary

New users report being unable to access Shopify Admin: the page loads blank across multiple browsers and devices, including incognito/private modes. Browser developer consoles show many 403 errors (HTTP โ€œForbiddenโ€), suggesting an access/permissions issue rather than caching.

Several participants confirm the same behavior despite clearing caches and trying different setups. Error details appear to vary by browser.

One user offers a workaround: create a Shopify Partners account at partners.shopify.com. After doing so, admin.shopify.com stopped showing a blank page for them.

No official cause or permanent fix is identified. Status: unresolved overall, with a potential workaround; one participant temporarily moved testing to Wix.

Hi everyone

I cannot log in for the first time (I just created this account) into shopify admin

I need to test something for a possible client but I cannot seem to access and login? I googled the issue and I cleared my caches, tried on different browsers (Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox) with incognito browsers and its all just the same, a blank white page

The inspect console shows many 403 errors :confused:

Is there something else I can do?

Thank you

Same problem here! Different devices, browsers, deleting cache, incognito etc not working for me either.

Doing the rare thing where you report back if you find a fix :โ€”)

Creating a Partners account at partners.shopify.com seems to have fixed it for me (or, admin.shopify.com is at least not showing just a blank page anymore).

Thank you for being the rare one!

I will try later in the evening just to check but for my tests I went with Wix

I had another go and Ive noticed theres different errors in the inspector for each browser, really weird issue :joy:
