paypal venmo declines at shopify checkout
The actual problem
Venmo/PayPal wallet declines spike after a theme or Payments app change — conversion drops without an obvious storefront error.
Do this
- Compare wallet decline rate 7 days before/after the change.
- Test Venmo + PayPal on mobile Safari and Chrome.
- Roll back Payments app / Smart Payment Buttons config if needed.
- Offer card fallback copy when wallet fails mid-checkout.
