Platform-Specific Support
If the issue is related to the platform itself (like Wix, Shopify, or Squarespace bugs), you may need to file a ticket with their support.
However, I can help you figure out:
- What’s wrong
- Whether it’s fixable on your end
- What to tell their support team to speed things up
