Mobile app wont let me share products anymore

I am having issues sharing my products on the mobile app. I wasnt having these issues last month.

Every time I hit the share button I get this error:

Sharing blocked

To unblock sharing, this product must be included in 1+ markets. The place to control this is in the product details “Publishing” section in the web app.

I can share my product from my desktop, but not from my phone. My settings looks fine to my untrained eyes, all products are assigned to a market.

Hello @Planta_seca This issue is tied to Shopify Markets, and it’s become more strict lately. Even if your products look like they’re assigned to a market, the Shopify mobile app may still detect them as unpublished due to backend syncing delays or overlooked settings.

What the error means:
“Sharing blocked — this product must be included in 1+ markets.”

This means the product isn’t published to any market, even though it’s likely visible to you on the storefront and even shareable on desktop.

Fix it step-by-step (from desktop/web):

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Products → Select a Product.

  2. Scroll to the “Publishing” section (usually on the right-hand side or bottom).

  3. Click “Manage” next to “Markets.”

  4. Ensure that the product is selected for each market you want it available in (e.g., “Canada,” “International,” etc.).

  5. Click Save.

Repeat this for any other products giving the same issue.

Why it’s working on desktop but not on mobile:
. Shopify’s mobile app likely added strict checks recently to ensure products are fully available in at least one market before allowing sharing.

. The desktop/web admin is more lenient (or hasn’t yet adopted the stricter mobile validation).

Bulk fix (optional):
If you have many products affected:

  1. Go to Settings → Markets.

  2. Choose your primary market (e.g., “Canada”).

  3. Click Products and Pricing.

  4. Make sure all the necessary products are listed there.

  5. You can bulk assign products to this market from this screen.

Hello,

I had to go Markets → Create catalog and add all my products again. I created the same market my products were in already. It seems something happened lately that made a change to catalogs or maybe catalogs were just added.

In any case, Goldi07’s reply got me on the right track. Thank you for your help.

I’ve had a similar issue before, and it turned out to be a small glitch in syncing between the mobile and desktop versions. Try logging out and back in on your mobile app to refresh everything.
