Hi, @Sami72 !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

I understand that your store is not accepting payments at the moment. This can occur for several seasons so you will need to head over to your Shopify Admin to confirm a few things. Firstly, you will want to ensure that you set up a payment gateway to accept payments. There are a few different things to consider when you’re choosing which payment methods to offer. If you want to let your customers pay using a credit card, then you can use Shopify Payments or a third-party provider.

If you set up a payment gateway and are still experiencing issues, you can head over to Settings > Payments > ensure that each setup is fully completed. Since I understand the urgency of your request, we’d be happy to continue assisting you through our Help Center. In order to access our live support, you will want to follow the on screen prompts to sign in, choose your topic and issue and at the bottom of the help articles provided will be all available live support options.

I’d also love to provide you with some feedback on your newly developed store. Feel free to share your URL if you’d like! In the meantime, you can check out our Shopify Store Launch Checklist as this provides a methodical approach to ensure that everything in your store is optimized for conversion.
