using: desktop (windows 10), chrome browser, yes everything is updated, no it isn't my cookies/cache/etc (i checked & cleared them all)
issue: i get 1-3 red notifications on the shop manager icon, indicating that i either have new messages, new orders, or both. i click into my shop, only to learn that there is nothing: no message, no sale, nothing at all has happened in my shop. these fake notifications persist for minutes, hours, sometimes days. when your next meal depends on whether you get a sale or not, it's pretty messed up to get a fake notice. this happens about once a week and i'm honestly over it.
It could be one or more notifications that Etsy puts on your dashboard.
except there is nothing to be notified about?
It's said there is a lag in time - a "processing order" being shown as a pending sale & then all mention of it disappearing if the payment didn't succeed.
