Why is my account being put on hold after I've already started getting orders?
Every store that sets up an account on Shopify Payments is legally subject to the standard review process, which happens throughout the account's lifespan.
After you finish setting up your Shopify Payments account for the first time, you can use it to accept payments right away. However, if Shopify's banking partners require more information for your business, then your Shopify Payments account is put on hold until your details can be verified.
I'm a staff member on the account. Can I resolve the hold?
No. Only the account owner is authorized to access Shopify Payments account details, and therefore the only one who can resolve a hold on the account. Staff members might encounter a generic admin prompt or an email suggesting to contact the account owner.
I'm the account owner but I can't find an email about the account hold
If you can't find an email in your inbox, then make sure to check your spam folder. The email is sent to the account owner email address listed in your Shopify admin. To confirm which email is the account owner email address, go toSettings>Users and permissionsand click the name underStore owner. The email address is listed under the name on theStore profilepage.

Can my customers still check out while my payouts are on hold?

In some cases, your store can't accept new orders. To confirm whether your checkout is affected, refer to either the banner in your Shopify Admin or an email sent to the account owner.
How can I continue to receive payouts?
The fastest way to resolve a hold on your Shopify Payments account and continue receiving payouts is to provide any information that's been requested, and to reply directly to any email from Shopify.
