A useful support request isolates the failing step and makes it reproducible without exposing a store token, license, customer or order.

Start with two short statements: what you expected the connection to do, and what happened instead. Record the exact ShopiPress candidate version.

Record the WordPress and PHP versions as well. Keep private server paths, account names and unrelated extensions outside the evidence.

For a connection test, WordPress runs ShopiPress, ShopiPress sends the catalog request through the network, and Shopify returns a response. Any boundary can own the failure.

Use one fictional store address and repeat only the smallest controlled action that demonstrates the problem.

Note the last successful step and the first failing step. This separates a Shopify response, a ShopiPress interpretation, a WordPress condition or a network problem.

Capture the sanitized response before clearing caches or changing configuration. Early changes can erase the most useful comparison.

Repeat the smallest safe test once and record whether the result is stable. Avoid broad retries or destructive cleanup without a diagnosis.

Provide the versions, affected page type, expected and observed results, and ordered reproduction steps. Redact every credential and item of personal data.

Never send a token, license value, database export or customer record as diagnostic evidence.

Use the troubleshooting guide to build the smallest safe test and the evidence needed for the next step.
