Shopee’s inability to access is causing a lot of inconvenience for shoppers. This is not only dissatisfying for customers but also a headache for sellers who cannot reach their customers. Are you experiencing any issues accessing Shopee? If so, please refer to the information in this article. FPT Shop will provide you with information on the causes and solutions to common errors when shopping on this platform.
What causes Shopee to have access issues?
Shopee is a popular e-commerce platform loved by many shoppers. It is the most bustling place for trading and buying goods in Vietnam on the internet. However, many users have had bad experiences when shopping here. One of the main reasons is that Shopee frequently encounters errors.
There may be objective reasons from the system that cause Shopee to have access issues, but there may also be subjective reasons from users. Here are some reasons why you may not be able to access Shopee:
- The Shopee system is experiencing technical errors.
- The network connection on the user’s device is weak, laggy, or intermittent.
- The user’s account has violated Shopee’s policies and terms, resulting in access restrictions or the inability to use certain functions of the application.
- The user has not updated to the latest version of the application.
Understanding the most common errors when using the Shopee app
When shopping on the Shopee app, you will have access to a variety of different products and save a lot of shopping time. However, as this is a technology-based e-commerce platform, it may encounter some issues. Specifically, these are the following errors:
Unable to access the Shopee app
Shopee’s inability to access is one of the most common issues that users may encounter. This significantly hinders the buying and selling activities of millions of people.
The sign of this error is that the entire app only displays a blank page without any products or information. Or it will not respond when you access any section while interacting with the app.
Error in placing orders on the Shopee app
This error causes frustration for customers when participating in shopping on this e-commerce platform. It greatly affects the operation of the platform. Customers are unable to place orders, while sellers lose customers.
There are many reasons for this situation, such as the user’s account being blocked/limited, issues related to payment, products, or discount codes. This error usually does not cause financial damage but it leaves a bad experience for customers.
Shopee displays the “Oops” error
Seeing the word “Oops” appear when performing actions on the Shopee app is probably not an unfamiliar occurrence for shoppers. This error can occur when you make a purchase, place an order, or perform any transaction or interaction on this e-commerce platform. This indicates that the user’s action is interrupted or fails to transmit signals.
The cause of this error is often due to an overload of user access at the same time. This is because Shopee is widely used for shopping and offers promotions during major holidays, which can cause overload on the app. Additionally, this error can also be caused by system maintenance or updates.
To resolve the issue of Shopee’s inability to access due to this “Oops” error, simply exit the app and access it again. This may seem illogical but it is effective and a solution to most issues with this app.
Shopee payment failure of orders
Error F01 occurs when users perform the payment step to complete the purchase process. The reasons for this issue may include the following:
- Inappropriate payment method: When abnormalities are detected during the payment process, the system will prevent the transaction from being completed. Shopee supports 6 different payment methods, but some methods may not be suitable for certain transactions depending on the product and the store’s requirements. In addition, it may be due to the user not meeting Shopee’s requirements.
- Failure to make payments through ShopeePay: This error usually occurs when customers exceed the transaction/day limit, have insufficient wallet balance, the linked bank card is not supported, or there are system errors.
Shopee errors when opening the shopping cart
This error is quite common and often comes from the following reasons:
- Stores updating product information or prices.
- Promotional products no longer available due to limited quantity.
- Shopee system errors.
When the cart error occurs, users are unable to proceed with the purchase process for the selected items. The advice for you is not to keep too many products in the cart for too long. If you don’t make a purchase quickly, the promotion may end, resulting in a less than ideal shopping experience.
Shopee displays the “Please try again later” / Server error
During the shopping process, in addition to Shopee’s ability to access issues, you may sometimes encounter network errors, inability to send verification codes, or be notified to try again later. This will affect the shopping activities of users. This error may be caused by the following:
- The platform experiences network errors due to fiber optic cable incidents affecting data connections/wifi on devices.
- Shopee encounters issues related to servers.
- Users violate Shopee’s terms and policies.
- Users have not updated to the latest version of the application.
No available shipping options for your region error
This error will cause the purchase process of users on this app to fail. The reasons may be:
- Self-shipping by sellers: When sellers use their own shipping service, they do not need to use the shipping options provided by Shopee. This usually happens with bulky, oversized items, or fragile products that no shipping unit accepts.
- No available options for the buyer’s area: If there is no shipping unit at the designated point, the goods cannot be delivered. So, you need to choose a suitable location to overcome this error.
Error in applying discount codes
Two errors M02 and U02 occur when the codes have been used up or are not applicable to the items you are purchasing. This is most common during promotions, birthdays, or major holidays. To fix this error, simply choose another valid code.
Errors related to violations of Shopee’s policies
- Error D01 Shopee: Shopee’s access error due to unsuccessful login may result from the account accessing multiple devices simultaneously or the system detecting fake accounts.
- Error A02 Shopee: This error is quite serious and often difficult to fix. Your account may be locked without immediate action. The sign is that the user’s buying and selling transactions are limited. This occurs when the system detects fraudulent promotions or intentionally places fake orders.
