Shopify flagged your tax details or payouts?

Shopify stores can get payouts paused when the store owner details, business details, or tax/identity verification doesn't match what Shopify (or its payment onboarding) expects.

Messages often look like "additional verification required", "payouts on hold", "information doesn't match", or "update your tax details".
