Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • Acting on the wrong shop. Confirm the Shopify store and campaign before following Generate a badge image with AI.
  • Trusting a stale preview. Refresh after catalog, schedule, discount, theme, locale, or market changes.
  • Repeating a background command. Read status and History first; retry only when Badgy presents a recoverable failure.
  • Checking only one viewport. Verify desktop and mobile in a private storefront window.

If the status reports revoked authorization, reconnect Shopify before retrying. If the result still differs from the preview, preserve the campaign ID and approximate time, then open support from this identified shop. Never send customer data, access tokens, or full catalog exports in feedback.
