My name is Lilith, Iâm on the Social Care team at Shopify.
This does sound odd. Without a link to your store, Iâm not able to view what you might be seeing.
Normally if a site shows the screen that your store is unavailable, you wonât have access to view the admin right away after logging in.
If you missed any bill payments, this can cause the issue sometimes. However, if you logged in and paid your bill before entering your admin, youâll see the storefront immediately again.
Hi, @Chillin . Thanks for your patience. Our Community forums will take a bit longer to receive replies as itâs asynchronous, but we do have live chat, callback and email support available if you find yourself waiting more than youâd like.
Onwards to the URL you posted, though
There isnât a store for gethighandbake.myshopify.com. The specific type of unavailable page gave me a hint at this, I see these in our support queues once in a while and this could be due to misspellings, incorrect characters, or missing characters in the URL.
If youâre logged in you can head into Online Store > Domains and see the spelling of your store domain there under the Shopify managed domains. If you have any special characters (i.e dashes or underscores) in between words or letters youâll want to make note of that.
Take a peek at your domains in your admin and see if youâve got the correct URL to your store.
Thank you for clarifying this for me. I can get to my store using the dashes.
It appears my store name has dashes between the words, how can I remove them? I do not want the search for my store to contain the dashes people will only put in the words.
Your âstore nameâ, or domain, cannot be changed once it is bought - you cannot remove dashes from a purchased URL. This is the domain you paid for and it is non-refundable, non-editable. You will have to buy a new domain without the dashes in it, if you want that
If someone searches âget high and bake storeâ, if your store url has dashes in it, this wonât affect their search. They wonât need to type âget-high-and-bakeâ to find it.
@Fachmann this is a question that is not related to the original post. To get more eyes on your topics in the Shopify Community be sure to start a new topic if your post doesnât quite fit into another topic.
That said, there are some products that are not allowed to be sold on the platform and those can be determined by reading our Acceptable Use Policy and Shopifyâs Terms of Service on our legal pages. However, if youâre using a payment processor to process credit cards on your site youâre going to need to check their legal terms and policy on what products they allow to be sold using their credit card processing systems. If youâre eligible to use Shopify Payments, there are specific legal Terms of Service pages for different countries as well. The reason that these are different policies to check is that our platform is able to accommodate a larger range of products, but payment processors you connect with may be limited if the banks that partner with them have stricter rules.
Those are 2 different areas to make sure you comply with in order to have a business working seamlessly.
My store has the same message âthis shop is not availableâ.
Itâs been a couple of years since Iâve used the store.
I need to acces it again to obtain my contacts.
