Why is my domain locked after reopening my online store?

I’ve recently opened one of my shopify stores back up, but when i go to re-connect the existing domain i use to have attached to the store it says “set up in progress”. It’s been like this for a few days now. In my email it also says “Your domain has been locked to Shopify’s domain service.”

Hi, @IntensifyLEDs .

Welcome to the Shopify Community.

I would like to advise that domain locking is a security feature that prevents unauthorized transfers of domains. Before transferring or connecting your domain, make sure you have all the necessary information and authorization.

Without having access to your account through our community forum, we are unable to look into the status of your domain or any internal information. I recommend contacting our team through the Shopify Help Center to ensure your account is securely authenticated so we can assist you with reconnecting your domain.

Lastly, I’d love to hear about your business venture! Are you continuing the previous business you’ve created or starting a new one?

Looking forward to hearing back.
