Quick Answer: What to do when Shopify breaks
- Check Shopify status page first — sometimes it's not you, it's them

🛠️ Common Fixes I Handle
Checkout errors, Liquid template bugs, broken product pages, app conflicts, shipping calculation issues, payment gateway failures, slow load times, mobile layout breaks, and inventory sync problems.
⚡ Why Hourly Beats Retainers
Most Shopify issues take 1-3 hours to diagnose and fix. You don't need a $2K/mo retainer — you need someone to actually solve the problem. Text me, I show up, it gets fixed.
Shopify Troubleshooting FAQ
Why is my Shopify checkout not working?
Usually it's a payment gateway misconfiguration, a conflicting checkout app, or a custom script throwing a JavaScript error. Check browser console first, then disable recent apps. If it's Shopify Plus, checkout.liquid customizations are a common culprit.
How do I fix a slow Shopify store?
Audit your apps (each one adds scripts), compress images to WebP, remove unused theme code, and move third-party scripts to async loading. I can usually cut load time 40-60% in a couple hours.
My Shopify theme broke after an update — what now?
Don't panic. Shopify keeps old theme versions. Go to Online Store → Themes → Theme library and restore your previous version. If you edited code directly, you'll need to re-apply changes to the new version.
Why are my Shopify product images not showing?
Common causes: CDN issue, corrupted image upload, theme Liquid referencing wrong variable, or an app hiding images via CSS. Check one product in incognito first to rule out caching.
Can you fix Shopify issues remotely for San Diego businesses?
Yes. I'm based in Encinitas/Solana Beach but I work remotely on Shopify stores anywhere. For local North County clients I'll come on-site if it helps. Either way, text me first.
How much does Shopify troubleshooting cost?
$100/hr flat. No retainers, no minimums, no project fees. Most issues resolve in 1-2 hours. I give you an estimate before I start, and I don't pad the clock.
A note from PJ
Look — most Shopify "emergencies" are a single bad app or a Liquid typo. I've seen it a hundred times. Send me a screenshot, tell me what broke and when, and I'll tell you if it's a 30-minute fix or something bigger. No sales pitch, no discovery calls, no contracts. One text, we figure it out.
