쇼피 페이에서 저를 사기꾼이라고 이름을 표시하는 데

이유가 궁금합니다. 돈도 선불로 내고 환불 하는 방법도 없고 그리고 쇼피파이 이용은 이번이 처음인데 이러한 문제가 왜 일어나는지 궁금합니다. 그리고 해결법도 알고 싶습니다.

Hi, @Jeonghyunseok .

Welcome to the Shopify Community.

Shopify’s fraud analysis helps you identify orders that could be fraudulent. Fulfilling high-risk orders can result in a higher number of chargebacks and that can result in disabling payment processing and removal from Shopify Payments.

To confirm, did you try placing a test order using Shopify’s Bogus Gateway or Shopify Payments in test mode?

If you’re able to share a bit more information on how the order was placed, I’ll be happy to further investigate the issue with you.

I look forward to your reply!
