A user is receiving frequent Shop Pay verification codes despite not having an account. They’re frustrated because:
The support portal redirects them in circles without providing direct contact options
They cannot attach images (JPEGs) to explain their issue
They want email support rather than being sent back to the help page
Cause of the codes:
Someone is likely entering the wrong phone number when checking out with Shop Pay. This is a security feature to prevent unauthorized access.
Solution provided:
Users can opt out by removing their phone number from Shop Pay through an opt-out form
To reach live 24/7 support: navigate through the support portal topics until live chat options appear (selecting relevant topics is required to avoid getting stuck in a loop)
Status: The issue remains unresolved from the original poster’s perspective, though a support representative provided guidance on both stopping the codes and accessing help.

I have been receiving shop pay codes in my phone very often and I don’t have an account with you, I just created this one to be able to post this. I tried contacting support but it’s impossible, every category just gives me the option of “contact support” and sends me back to the category selection page. A F***ing trap to not offer support, thankfully I’m not a client of yours. If you are gonna offer me a contact for me to provide more info about this give me a help email, don’t send me to the support page that is a trap.
PD: you don’t accept jpeg or any image format as attachment to this post?? Smh
