Hey @Aggamsidhu

To update your birth year on Shopify, you’ll need to contact Shopify Support for assistance. Follow these steps to resolve the issue.

Log in to your Shopify admin panel. In the bottom-left corner of the admin panel, click on the “?” icon to access the Shopify Help Center. In the Help Center, search for “Contact Support” or similar terms. You should find a link or option to contact Shopify’s support team. Select a support channel that suits you, such as live chat, email, or phone support. Explain the situation to the Shopify support representative. Let them know that you accidentally entered the wrong birth year and it’s affecting your ability to receive payments.
