Error messages

Every message the RankX AI Shopify app can show, what caused it and what to do next.

This page lists the messages the RankX AI Shopify app shows when something could not be done, why each one appears and what to do. Search the page for the words on your screen. Most messages end by saying nothing was charged or nothing was changed, and when they do, you can trust that and try again.

How does the app show a problem?

The app uses four kinds of notice, and the heading tells you which kind you have.

HeadingWhat it meansWhat to do
Something did not workA fault while reading or savingTry again. If it repeats, see Troubleshooting
This needs a planThe action is part of a paid plan, or credits are neededFollow Go to your plan
Not changedThe app refused the change on purpose, and your store is as it wasRead the sentence, correct the input and try again
Not yetYou asked too soonWait for the time shown

A control that is not available on your plan is greyed out, and the reason sits beside it, for example "You're on the Free plan. This is included in every paid plan. Available on Starter."

What about messages that start with "We could not read"?

Sentences such as "We could not read your questions just now." or "We could not save that just now." mean a temporary read or save problem. They are not a finding about your store. Reload the page or try again in a minute. When the sentence ends with "Nothing was charged." or "Nothing was changed.", that is exactly what happened.
