Hello!

I have been getting a “SSL pending” for over 72 hours now. I have looked through other forums and haven’t found one that fits my needs. I bought my domain through shopify. Also when I go to my shop all of the pictures are not showing, and it looks glitched. I did use a Shopify Theme.

My store is www.tenacityshop.store

Thank you!
