What's going wrong
Merchants linking a Shopify store to an ad or social account report that setup stalls or fails, and the error never says which step broke or what to change. Reports come from many small shop owners and agencies across several channel apps, including Microsoft Channel, Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram, and a separate ChatGPT Ads integration. Symptoms include credential failures, endless spinning screens, sign-in loops, and generic messages such as something went wrong. Owners cannot tell whether Shopify, the app, or their ad platform account is at fault, so many give up after hours or days of trial and error and support contact. Reinstalling does not help. The shared gap points to an opportunity: a diagnostic that tests each connection step in order and reports the exact failing step with a plain-language fix.
