The Reliable Way to Verify Your Shopify Store in 2026
Shopify silently drops SMS codes sent to VoIP or virtual numbers. Get a dedicated real-SIM US number that keeps your store login — and your Shopify Payments — working reliably.
- Receive Shopify 2FA codes to a shared team inbox
- Non-VoIP, real-SIM US number — the kind Shopify's gateway accepts
- Survives the 90-day re-verification cycle (no temp numbers that expire)
- One dedicated number per Shopify account — no "number already in use" errors
Why Shopify 2FA Codes Stop Arriving
Shopify's two-step authentication is mandatory for activating Shopify Payments. Shopify's SMS delivery infrastructure applies STIR/SHAKEN and number reputation filtering through carrier-grade gateways — VoIP and virtual numbers are silently dropped with no error displayed.
- •Silent VoIP failure: Google Voice, TextNow, Skype, and Twilio numbers are silently rejected — codes never arrive, Shopify shows no error, and merchants wait indefinitely
- •Shopify Payments blocked: Shopify mandates 2FA to activate Shopify Payments. Without a working phone, merchants cannot process orders or receive payouts at all
- •Cooldown period triggered: After multiple failed delivery attempts, Shopify locks the number into an unspecified cooldown — no more codes can be requested
- •Account lockout on number change: Merchants who switch carriers or lose their SIM discover they cannot log back in, as 2FA is tied to the original number
Note: Shopify updates their SMS delivery infrastructure frequently. We can't guarantee acceptance in every scenario.
Bypass Shopify Verification Blocks with Real SIMs
JoltSMS uses real carrier-backed SIM cards (T-Mobile/AT&T networks), not virtual cloud numbers. Shopify's delivery infrastructure routes to these the same way it routes to a normal cell phone.
- Physical SIMs: Real carrier networks route to JoltSMS numbers the same way they route to a normal cell phone — not filtered like VoIP
- Private and dedicated: Your number is yours alone for the rental period — no "number already in use" conflicts
- Survives 90-day re-verification: A monthly rental stays active through every re-verification cycle; a burner number won't be there when it hits
- Not recycled: JoltSMS numbers are never recycled to new customers — you get a clean number with no suppression list history
Who Uses JoltSMS for Shopify Verification?
Solo store owner activating Shopify Payments
Shopify requires 2FA to activate Shopify Payments. A solo merchant using Google Voice or a work phone they no longer control hits a hard wall: no payments, no payouts. A dedicated JoltSMS number unlocks Shopify Payments and stays active for as long as the store runs.
Multi-store operator or agency
Each Shopify account needs its own unique phone number. Agencies managing 5–20 client stores need a dedicated non-VoIP number per account with team inbox access so the right person receives each code — without sharing personal phones.
Dropshipper needing a persistent number
A burner number won't survive Shopify's 90-day re-verification check. If the number has been recycled, expired, or is on a suppression list, the code never arrives and the merchant is locked out. A JoltSMS month-to-month rental stays live for the full business cycle.

What to Know About Shopify Verification
Not affiliated with Shopify. JoltSMS provides phone numbers for legitimate account verification. Shopify may update their SMS delivery infrastructure at any time.
Best practices:
- No guarantees: We can't guarantee Shopify will accept our numbers in every scenario or for every account type
- Use your number consistently: Shopify's 2FA is tied to the number you register — changing it later requires account recovery with access to the original number
- One account per number: Each Shopify account requires its own unique phone number; managing multiple stores means one number per account
- Inbound only: JoltSMS receives SMS — it does not send messages or make calls
- SMS 2FA only: JoltSMS covers the SMS path; if you switch to an authenticator app, a dedicated number remains useful for account recovery
Shopify verification FAQ
The most common cause is a VoIP or virtual number. Shopify's SMS delivery infrastructure applies carrier-grade filtering (STIR/SHAKEN and number reputation checks). Numbers from services like Google Voice, TextNow, Skype, or Twilio are silently rejected — no code is sent, and Shopify displays no error message. The fix is to use a real-SIM number from an established mobile carrier. JoltSMS provides exactly that: dedicated US numbers on T-Mobile/AT&T networks.
