Business Verification - form won't submit

Topic summary

Business verification form fails to submit (spinner then resets, no error). Merchants tried clearing cache, different browsers/devices/networks, incognito, Shopify app, and disabling extensions/firewalls with no change, risking payment interruptions before deadlines.

Guidance from Shopify staff: perform local troubleshooting (browser/incognito, disable extensions, update browser, different device/connection, use Shopify app, disable pop-up blockers). If unresolved, contact Support via Help Center to open a ticket for account-specific investigation. This was marked as the accepted solution.

Outcomes reported:

  • Multiple users still affected; some stuck in a verification loop after document upload with no status feedback.
  • One user had Support escalate and a specialist submitted the form on their behalf; response took about a week.
  • Tip that entering SSN/EIN (US identifiers) without dashes enabled submission for one merchant.

Recent updates: A merchant with multiple tickets since May 19, 2024 had their case confirmed as escalated. Staff noted review timelines typically take 5–10 business days but can be longer; expectation-setting requested by users.

Status: Ongoing; primary path is support escalation. No universal fix; the “remove dashes” input format may help some.
