Troubleshooting

I'm getting an error when I try to install the Sendlane app from the BigCommerce Marketplace!

{"error":{"message":"App not found. Already uninstalled, access denied, or incomplete setup. Please uninstall first to try again"}}

This error has two possible causes:

Navigating Away From App During Installation To fix this, uninstall and re-install the Sendlane app from the BigCommerce app marketplace making sure to complete the entire process
Third Party Cookies Are Disabled To fix this, make sure your browser's third party cookies are enabled

I see my Sendlane dashboard in BigCommerce, but I don't see the BigCommerce integration installed in Sendlane!

You may have navigated away from the installation process before it was completed. To fix this, uninstall and re-install the Sendlane app from the BigCommerce app marketplace.

I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error!

Review BigCommerce's API rate limits for your BigCommerce plan. 403 Forbidden errors are generally caused by exceeding your BigCommerce plan's API rate limit.

Contacts are showing as Unsubscribed right after they make an order!!

If your BigCommerce checkout page pre-selects the marketing email opt-in checkbox, Contacts who uncheck the newsletter email opt-in box during checkout will be unsubscribed from the List attached to your BigCommerce integration as soon as checkout is complete.

I don't see order data coming into Sendlane!

Missing order data can usually be solved by re-syncing your BigCommerce integration. Pause your BigCommerce Automations to avoid oversending, then follow the steps in our guide to Re-syncing Integrations.
