Hi Shopify Team and Community,

I’m extremely frustrated at this point. On April 24, my store received 83 orders within just 1 hour something highly unusual and suspicious. Right after that my payouts were affected and since then. I have not received the payout for those orders which totals over $10,941.37.

Despite multiple tickets and follow-ups it’s now May 22 nearly a month later and I still haven’t received a clear resolution or any confirmed payout.

Because of this:

  • Many orders are still on hold

  • Customer trust is dropping

  • My store reputation is suffering

This kind of delay is unacceptable and puts small businesses like mine at serious risk. I’m asking again please release my payout or provide a proper resolution immediately.

Ticket Numbers:

  • 57121008

  • 57425991

Shopify, I really need your support on this. I’m simply asking for what I’ve rightfully earned.

Thank you,
