Investigative Researcher for Shopify Issue

Job ID: 37231666

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

We are looking for a skilled investigator or researcher who can contact Shopify's customer support or any insiders within Shopify to clarify some critical questions related to an ongoing issue affecting our SaaS platform. The candidate should have excellent communication skills and prior experience in investigative work or corporate communication.

Issue Description:

We have a SaaS platform that tracks sales for Shopify stores. Recently, we've been experiencing issues with the 'updated_at' timestamp on products within Shopify stores. Previously, this timestamp would only update when an actual sale was made or a product was updated. Now, it's updating with every action, such as 'add to cart,' rendering our tracking mechanism ineffective.

Questions Needing Answers:

Is there an internal discussion or ticket related to this issue?
Is there an estimated timeline for resolving this issue?
Is this issue a bug or a feature change?
Will the 'updated_at' property return to its previous behavior?
Is there a temporary workaround?

Expected Answers:

"Our developers are actively investigating the issue."
"Due to the complex nature of the problem, we cannot provide a timeline."
"It is a bug and not a feature."
"The functionality should return to its expected state."
"There is no workaround at this time."

Note: These expected answers are based on previous conversations with Shopify support. We need clear, validated answers from someone inside Shopify who knows what's happening. Payment will be released once the answers are provided with proof.
