Troubleshooting Activation

"Invalid License Key"

  • Double-check you copied the entire key
  • Make sure there are no extra spaces
  • Verify you're using the correct license from your portal

"License Already Used"

Your license may already be activated on another store. Check:

  1. Is this the same store you activated before?
  2. Did you accidentally activate on a test store?

Contact support if you need a reset.

"Domain Mismatch"

This means the license was activated on a different auto-generated domain. You can transfer your domain in the customer portal, or contact support for help.

Changes Not Appearing

  1. Make sure you clicked "Save"
  2. Try refreshing the page
  3. Clear your browser cache
  4. Check that the license key is still in the field

After Activation

Now you can:

  1. Configure your colors and branding
  2. Set up the AI chatbot
  3. Add products to your product grids
  4. Enable urgency elements
