Main issue: A merchant needs to renew an expired domain but cannot reach live Shopify support via email (support@shopify.com), phone (888‑746‑7439), or chat.
Support availability: A Shopify staff member clarifies there is currently no direct phone line or email for support.
Recommended path:
Context: “Virtual Shopify Assistant” is the Help Center chatbot that routes users to live agents when appropriate.
Outcome/status: No confirmed resolution yet. The merchant has been given a support-access method; renewal steps will proceed once connected with a team member.
Open questions: Whether the domain can be renewed immediately after connecting and any account requirements or timelines remain unspecified.
I’ve tried emailing support@shopify.com, 888-746-7439, and the Support Chat but I’m getting nowhere. I’m unable to get live support. Searching past posts, I’ve seen other people have this same issue over the years but no clear answer on how to get in touch with someone. Can someone please advise!
Thanks!
