Troubleshooting
Can't Access the Payments Page
Make sure you've completed PayPal or Stripe setup
Check for any Action Required banners. These mean your provider needs more information from you.
Contact ShopBroker support if the issue persists
Balance Doesn't Match Expectations
ShopBroker shows your net earnings after fees. If something looks off, compare the transaction detail view with your provider's dashboard. The numbers should match once you factor in the service fee.
