Troubleshooting Services

Fix the common problems with services: missing Services menu, disabled Stripe checkout, Stripe price errors, currency conflicts, blocked purchases, and missing orders.

Feature overview: Sell Services to Clients

Your guide, at your pace

Scan the overview. Open a section for its full steps and details.

Most problems with services come down to visibility rules, Stripe settings, or checking from the wrong login. Work through the section that matches what you see.

A customer cannot see the Services menu or page

#

No service is live yet: open the service and check the badge says Live. Turn on Show to customers and click Save changes

Steps and details
  • Their plan hides services: set Services Page to Visible in Custom Plans -> Features & Options -> General -> Services Access, or on the customer's own plan options
  • Stripe is disconnected: Stripe checkout services are hidden until you reconnect at Business -> Billing & Revenue -> Connect Stripe
  • You are checking from your agency account: Open dashboard and the Customer tab do not show Services. Use View as customer
  • The person is a team member: only the customer's own login sees Services

Missing orders, emails, or buttons

No order for a purchase: only Stripe checkout purchases create orders. Link purchases, abandoned checkouts, and failed payments do not

Steps and details
  • No Manage button on an active service: the customer's plan hides Billing Pages
  • No Cancel action on an order: monthly and yearly service orders are cancelled in Stripe
  • No Ship action: the service does not collect a shipping address. Use Mark delivered
  • Checkout ignores your Terms of Service checkbox, company name field, or submit message: Stripe rejected one of your Checkout Customization settings, usually because no Terms of service URL is set in Stripe under Settings -> Public details
