The Shopify bugs we see most
Real symptoms with the error strings you are probably staring at right now. If yours is not here, report it anyway: these are just the usual suspects.
Liquid error: undefined method
A snippet calls a property that no longer exists, usually after a theme update or a removed metafield. We trace the offending {% render %} / {{ }} and restore the data source or guard it with a default.
Section & block render failures
Liquid error (sections/...): Could not find asset or a section that vanishes in the theme editor. We fix broken schema JSON, missing assets, and {% schema %} settings that won’t save.
checkout.liquid deprecation
Shopify retired checkout.liquid, legacy customizations and scripts stop running. We migrate you to Checkout Extensibility (UI extensions, Functions, web pixels) before the cut-off breaks your checkout.
App embed conflicts slowing the store
Two apps inject the same script, or a leftover app block fights your theme, LCP balloons and the cart misbehaves. We audit theme.liquid embeds, kill duplicates, and defer the heavy ones.
Cart AJAX / drawer broken
“Add to cart” does nothing, the drawer won’t open, or quantity won’t update. Caused by a failed /cart/add.js call, a stale cart.js bundle, or a JS error swallowing the click. We patch the cart events.
Metafield & dynamic-source errors
A connected metafield shows blank, throws Liquid error: undefined, or a dynamic source won’t bind in the editor. We fix the namespace/key, the type mismatch, and the metafields.namespace.key reference in Liquid.
Report to fixed in five steps
Everything happens on a duplicate of your theme. You approve a preview before anything goes live.
01Report
Within 1hSend the symptom, the error string (e.g. Liquid error: undefined method), the affected URL and a collaborator-access invite. We confirm scope and an ETA.
02Reproduce
Same dayWe duplicate your live theme and reproduce the bug on the copy, never on the published theme. Theme inspector + browser console pin down the failing Liquid or script.
03Root-cause
Same dayWe isolate the real cause, a removed metafield, a broken section schema, an app embed clash, a checkout.liquid deprecation, not just the symptom, so it stays fixed.
04Fix + test
24-48hWe patch the duplicate theme, regression-test cart, checkout, search and PDP, then send you a preview link to approve on real devices before anything goes live.
05Publish + verify
On approvalYou approve, we publish the duplicate as the live theme. We verify on production, hand over a short write-up, and the old theme stays in your library for one-click rollback.

Honest answers to the Shopify bug questions everyone asks
How much does it cost to fix a Shopify bug?
Most single Shopify bugs are fixed for a flat $99 Quick Fix (about 4 hours at $25/hr), one well-defined issue like a Liquid error, a broken section, or a cart drawer that won’t open. A $499 Bug-Fix Sprint (~20h @ $25/hr) covers a batch of bugs or one gnarly root-cause such as an app-conflict slowdown or a checkout.liquid migration, with regression tests. Emergencies and ongoing cover are quoted as a custom retainer.
Can you fix the bug without breaking my live Shopify store?
Yes, we never edit your published theme. We duplicate your live theme, reproduce the bug on the copy, fix and regression-test it there, then send you a preview link. Only after you approve do we publish the duplicate as the live theme. Your original stays in the theme library, so a one-click publish reverts everything instantly if anything looks off.
What does “Liquid error: undefined method” mean and can you fix it?
Yes, we fix it. Liquid error: undefined method means a snippet is calling a property or object that no longer exists, commonly after a theme update, a removed metafield, or a renamed variable. We trace the exact {{ }} or {% render %} that throws, restore the missing data source (or guard it with a sensible default like {{ value | default: '' }}), and confirm the page renders cleanly across templates.
A section disappeared or shows “Could not find asset”, what’s wrong?
That’s usually a broken section reference or schema. Liquid error (sections/...): Could not find asset means a {% render %} points at a snippet or asset that was deleted or renamed. A section that vanishes in the theme editor often has invalid {% schema %} JSON that won’t save. We repair the asset paths, fix the schema JSON, and restore the section settings so it appears and saves normally.
My checkout customizations stopped working, is this the checkout.liquid deprecation?
Almost certainly. Shopify has retired checkout.liquid, so legacy checkout edits, additional scripts and order.status customizations stop running. The fix is to migrate to Checkout Extensibility, UI extensions, Shopify Functions, web pixels and the new branding API. We audit what you relied on, rebuild it the supported way, and verify the checkout end-to-end. For a deep dive see our Shopify checkout bug fixing page.
Two apps are conflicting and my store is slow, can you fix that?
Yes. App embed conflicts are one of the most common Shopify performance killers: two apps inject the same library, or a leftover app block keeps loading after the app was removed. We audit every embed in theme.liquid and your app embeds in Theme settings → App embeds, remove duplicates, defer the heavy scripts, and clean out orphaned blocks. See our dedicated Shopify app conflict bug fixing page.
My cart drawer or “add to cart” stopped working, why?
This is a JavaScript or AJAX failure. “Add to cart” that does nothing usually means the /cart/add.js request is failing, a console error is swallowing the click handler, or a stale cart bundle is out of sync after an app or theme update. We open the browser console, find the failing request or error, and patch the cart events so the drawer opens, quantities update, and the cart count refreshes correctly.
A metafield or dynamic source shows blank or errors, can you fix it?
Yes. Blank metafields or Liquid error: undefined on a connected field usually come from a wrong namespace/key, a type mismatch, or a dynamic source that won’t bind in the editor. We check the metafield definition, correct the metafields.namespace.key reference in Liquid, handle the type (list, rich text, reference) properly, and confirm the value renders on the storefront.
My theme broke after I uninstalled an app, can you clean it up?
Yes. Many apps leave behind orphaned theme code, snippets, app blocks, and lines injected into theme.liquid or product.liquid, that throw Liquid error: Could not find asset or break layout once the app is gone. We find every leftover reference the app added, remove it safely on a duplicate theme, and verify the affected pages render cleanly again.
How fast can you fix a Shopify bug?
A single, well-defined bug is typically reproduced, fixed and verified within 24-48 hours. On the emergency tier, store down or checkout broken, we start triage in under 4 hours and can roll your theme back immediately to stop the bleeding while we work the root cause. Larger batches go into a Bug-Fix Sprint with a scheduled timeline you approve upfront.
What access do you need to fix my Shopify store?
The cleanest option is a Collaborator request (we send it, you approve it from Settings → Users and permissions) scoped to Themes and the relevant apps, no password sharing. A limited staff account also works. If you prefer, duplicate your theme and give us access to the copy only. We always work on a duplicate theme regardless, so your live storefront is never touched until you approve the fix.
Is there a guarantee on the bug fix?
Yes. If the exact bug we fixed comes back under the same conditions, we re-fix it at no charge. We root-cause the real problem rather than patching the symptom, regression-test cart, checkout, search and product pages before publishing, and hand you a short write-up of what changed.
