Make sure that the store URL you enter precisely matches the URL you're directed to when going to “Website name” → “Visit Site” in the top-left corner. Your store URL will typically appear in one of these formats:

Use only the specific URL formats listed above. Avoid entering URLs that direct to specific pages, such as “https://yourstore.com/store” or “https://yourstore.com/shop”. The URL should represent your main website address without any additional page specifications.
