No, definitely not! I couldn't see anything in the logs. So I assume not all required fields were filled out when creating the store. Highlighting those needs some work. Thanks for…

I'm not sure how strict you should go, we have gone to the absolute maximum - and have to deal with customer service issues / abandoned checkouts daily. But even requiring the ZIP …
