Start With The Customer Path
When something breaks, start with the customer-visible symptom before changing settings.
Check:
- which route or workflow is failing
- whether the problem is storefront-facing or dashboard-only
- whether the issue affects everyone or one store/user
Common Areas To Check
Use the closest operational surface before changing unrelated settings.
- Catalog issues: `/dashboard/stores/:storeSlug/catalog`
- Order or fulfillment issues: `/dashboard/stores/:storeSlug/orders`
- Storefront content issues: `/dashboard/stores/:storeSlug/storefront-studio`
- Domain issues: `/dashboard/stores/:storeSlug/store-settings/domains`
- Legal or policy issues: `/dashboard/stores/:storeSlug/store-settings/legal`
Escalate Cleanly
When you need support, include:
- store slug
- route where the problem appears
- order, product, or review id if relevant
- the exact action you took
- screenshots or console/network evidence when possible
