Your shop cannot purchase shipping labels - and no help from Shopify

I was able to create and print about 15 shipping labels when I first opened my site, and then it suddenly popped up saying;

  • Your shop cannot purchase shipping labels. Please contact shipping-ops@shopify.com to resolve this issue.

I have emailed that email address 3 times over the past 12 days and still have not received any response or support. Particularly, for a service that I'm paying for, to not receive any communication or feedback or instructions for problem resolution is unacceptable.

Hey there, @LaCraftworks 

 

Bo here from Shopify Support! 

 

Thank you for reaching out regarding this. It sounds as though you have met your billing threshold. In addition to monthly subscription billing, Shopify also issues bills throughout the month according to your plan-based billing threshold. Billing thresholds are dollar values that trigger billing whenever the cost of your account activity exceeds its threshold amount.

You receive a bill whenever the total of your Shipping label charges and other charges exceeds your account's threshold. Monthly subscription fees are included in your running total, but they are not included in threshold bills.

If you have any transaction fees or other charges during your current billing cycle, then your store's threshold appears in the Bills section of the Billing page in your Shopify admin. If you reach your billing threshold and you're issued with a bill, you can continue to buy shipping labels until the total reaches 110% of your threshold. No further purchases can be made until you pay for the issued bill. For example, if your threshold is $400, and your account's activity reaches $400, then you'll be issued a bill. You can still purchase shipping labels until your account activity reaches $440 (110% of $400), but any more purchases after that can be made only after you've paid your bill of $400.

 

Charges triggered by your billing threshold appear in the Billing history section of the Billing page in your Shopify admin.
