Diagnose your Shopify checkout problem

Choose the setup and symptom. You'll get a concrete checklist, not a fake error scan or a payment approval prediction.

1. Which checkout are you using?
2. What's going wrong?

Select your current checkout and a problem to see next steps.

First identify which system actually failed

A checkout problem can happen before payment is attempted, during card authorization, after payment capture, or when writing an order back to Shopify. Fixes depend on the stage; a failed payment should not be treated as a paid order, and a successful payment should not be charged twice merely because Shopify order creation is delayed.

Before payment

Check the current cart, country, shipping, discounts and whether the payment method is available for this shopper.

While paying

Review the actual provider's decline or authentication details. No checkout can override a bank or risk rejection.

After payment

Reconcile provider capture, paid Shopify order and any tracking events; do not ask the buyer to repay before you know the outcome.

Where Voss fits—and where it doesn't

Voss is a separate checkout application that connects an active Shopify store to the merchant's own eligible Whop business. It supports server-side payment integrity checks, a Shopify paid-order write-back workflow, and supported Meta/TikTok tracking integrations. It is not a bank-issuer decline override, guaranteed wallet enabler, or recovery tool for funds held by another provider.
