Most failures: a wrong number or dialing code, an expired code, or codes requested too quickly. Work the checklist in order.
Who this is for: merchants stuck on phone verification in Messaging.
The checklist
Check the dialing code and number. Usually it's a right number under the wrong country code — dialing code entered separately, no leading zero.
Enter the code promptly. Codes expire quickly — if yours sat unread, request a fresh one and use it immediately.
Don't rapid-fire resends. Several requests trigger a short cooldown. Wait a couple of minutes, request once more, and use exactly that code — a new code kills earlier ones.
Complete the security check. Human verification must pass before a code is sent. Keeps failing? Try another browser or disable script-blocking extensions.
Verified the wrong number? Disconnect it in Messaging and verify the right one — effective immediately.
Still not arriving?
Dialing code right, cooldown passed, still nothing? The delivery route to your carrier or region may be at fault — ours to chase, not yours.
Limits
Only one number is verified at a time, and only it can run your store — a security choice, not a limitation to work around.
