Troubleshooting & Additional Shopify Resources

My integration status seems to be stuck at pending!

If your Shopify integration status is stuck at Pending, you can always try deleting the integration and starting the integration process over. Sometimes a blip in communication between Sendlane and Shopify interrupts the connection process.

Delete the existing integration that is stuck at Pending before starting the integration process again by clicking the trash can icon:

I don't see my Shopify customers in my Sendlane account!

If you just completed the integration process, check back later. If you visit the Shopify integration page within your Sendlane account and see that the status still shows Initializing, Pending, or Syncing, some information or actions may not be available.
