Who to contact with questions

When you have a question, there are a variety of places to look for answers:

Shopify Community

The Shopify Community helps partners and merchants connect with other Shopify Partners, merchants, and Support Advisors. The Community is an ideal place to discuss ideas, ask and answer questions, and establish yourself as an expert in the Shopify ecosystem.

Learning and interacting online comes with its own unique expectations for conduct, also known as “netiquette.” Here are a few tips to follow as you complete your online course and engage with the Shopify community online:

Be mindful of your tone

Remember that those you interact with online are people, too. Treat them with the same respect you would offer your classmates in person.

Limit use of all caps

Using all caps in an online setting is often interpreted as yelling. It’s best to avoid this in everyday online communication.

Be mindful of context

Different situations call for different communication styles. Emails can be more formal, while online discussions can be more casual (though still respectful).
