Where to complain about a Shopify Customer support?

Hey @islandgirlhhi .

Thanks for providing us with that ticket number.

Since we do not have any internal access to store or account-specific information from the Community forums, we are unable to view the case. With that being said, if you have received a ticket number - I can assure you that you will receive a response from the team that is handling the situation.

If you would like an update on the ticket, you will need to reach out to our live support by navigating to the Help Center. Once you arrive at the Help Center, you will need to make the virtual assistant be aware that would like to Speak with support.

Let us know if you have any questions.

They don’t care and send ready formulas and tickets to another ticket. Do you want to know how much I have lost due to their amazing support? Shopify support 8 years ago was totally different - now they have even cut the lines and we can only chat with them. It’s really annoying when you have to wait a long time for a chat advisor response or be and wait in a queue, and then start all over again. It’s a waste of time and, to me, this is unacceptable, especially for a large e-commerce hosting platform. No way!

I upload images everyday from Dropbox until Shopify’s CSV Upload broke too. It took about 1.5 months to Shopify to get it fixed. Where do you get your images from and the format of the https? Let see if I can assist.

I just left Square for Shopify and had my first interaction with one of your ā€œAdvisorsā€ safe to say i am going back to square no matter how good Shopify features might be… so useless and disappointing

We’ve had a support thread going with Shopify Reps for about a year, covering many different and many repeat and related issues, dealing with approximately twenty separate support advisors. Most issues started around the 2023 December holidays with missing packages, odd payout, and funds release timeline issues concerning DHL Markets Pro handled orders. We’ve continued to deal with problems with some orders since December and one since August 2023(almost 11 months ago) regarding DHL eCommerce Markets Pro claims. We’ve informed Shopify that we will consider all matters closed at the end of this week, as we want to give them one more shot at resolving our problems since they so awkwardly appear to forget or not fully understand the issues when they announce ā€œfinal resolutionā€ details, despite us sharing the details many times in the same support thread over many months. We suspect Shopify is ignoring the pertinent information and simply hope we will disappear. It’s not a good feeling to know that a service provider we’ve worked with for over five years and paid top dollar for isn’t willing to resolve issues caused by the service provider themselves(Shopify/Globalee) respectfully or their partner organizations(DHL eCommerce, DHL Worldwide). I’m researching to understand the most effective ways to share our grievances with the public and consumer affairs agencies and various review sites, as I said I would in the support thread with Shopify. Besides threads here, Yelp, Reddit, Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, https://dos.ny.gov/file-consumer-complaint, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Ripoff Report, Planet Feedback, Pissed Consumer, Resolver, Quora, and Social Media, I’m interested to know of any other paths other Shopify customers have taken to share their grievances or to attempt to rectify issues that Shopify Support Representatives settle on, shy of meaningful and fair resolutions to their customers. Starting next week, I will begin sharing details publicly. Thanks for any help. - EC

I have a similar response issue and it is related to that maybe one of your service providers is a scam by your Shopify name

And now they have Chatgpt. I got the same solution with same steps by the support advisor for a problem on which I’ve already done my research. After sharing the problem, he asked me to wait for the email with the solution. I said alright, until then I can resolve other issues I’m dealing with and this happened

’ve noticed that the responses to customer concerns seem to follow the same script, without addressing the core issues. The reality is, there’s no effective way to escalate complaints, and it feels like Shopify is fully aware of this but chooses to ignore it. As someone who has been using Shopify for 10 years, I’ve seen a significant decline in the quality of customer support over the last 3–4 years. This is deeply concerning because great service without reliable support is no service at all. If this trend continues, I fear it will drive customers away despite the platform’s strengths. Shame on you
