Why can't customers check out or use PayPal in my UK store?

[isabel11]

Hi, when customer tries to check out, a message comes up saying "the order cannot be shipped to the selected address." There is nothing wrong with the address in itself I checked. They can also not use paypal even though previous customers have. I am in the UK and that order was from the UK

Hey @isabel11.
 
Thanks for reaching out. 
 
Typically, if your customers are receiving an error message "the order cannot be shipped to the selected address." - it is due to the set up of the shipping rates. I would suggest making sure that your shipping rates will display regardless of the orders total amount. In this case, I encourage you to reach out to our live support to have a further look into the order that had this issue. Since we cannot authenticate over the Community forums due to the sensitive information that needs to be shared, I am unable to view the specifics.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I tried to contact live support as suggested but have just been stuck in a AI loop and getting no where.

The problem is that all my customers are receiving the message, "the order cannot be sipped to the selected address"
which means I am not getting any orders except if the customer phones me and I can then send them an invoice. I have spend many hours trying to figure this out ....

In most cases, a systematic approach will help in understanding how the rates are working and diagnosing the issue. I have created Shopify Checkout Rate Troubleshooting Steps. I hope this helps.
