What is this disclaimer on the Accepting Payments section of my Studio settings?

I’m having trouble accepting payments.

I sent an invoice to a client via Wix Studio. Opting for the ‘Core’ plan, completing the designated forms, I am met with an alert:

“Publish your site
You’re currently accepting payments. However, customers won’t be able to find your site until it’s published.”
When I click on the accompanying publish button it takes me to an ERROR page.

I think the reason it says this must be because Wix Studio Dashboard is just a console that holds all your sites, there is no assigned site in of itself.

So why does it say this disclaimer? My actual site is already published, it’s on my dashboard alongside my client projects. Am I able to accept payment, if so do I have to resend the pending invoices I’ve made before upgrading my plan. Would it be more efficient to do the whole thing over again in my site’s settings, cancel my studio plan and upgrade my site plan?

Thank you

I’m not sure I fully follow. Can you send a screenshot of where you see this message (obviously redacting any information that might be deemed sensitive - since it’s related to payments :slight_smile: )

I appreciated the write up, I am facing such issues of Publishing my work, even the payment too.

Thank you for responding
