Cannot get customer service "There’s a problem loading this page" 08/22/2023

Topic summary

Multiple users are experiencing a persistent error when attempting to access Shopify’s Help Center. The error message states “There’s a problem loading this page” and prevents users from reaching customer support or live chat.

Key Issues:

  • Error occurs across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), devices, and in incognito mode
  • Users cannot bypass the chatbot to reach human support
  • Email support auto-rejects tickets and redirects to the broken Help Center
  • Several users report urgent needs: domain transfers, launch day issues, and store problems

Shopify’s Response:

  • Official status page shows “all systems operational”
  • Victoria_13 (staff) acknowledges developers are investigating
  • No timeline provided for resolution
  • No alternative contact methods offered

Outcome:

  • One user (OldNippon) reports access restored on 8/31 without any communication from Shopify
  • Other users express frustration that the issue persists
  • No systematic fix appears to have been implemented

Screenshots confirm the error page appearance across different user accounts.

Getting same error trying to chat with support. Is there no other support option?? The bot just takes me in circles and gives me a link to the page I am already on.
