How can I reactivate my inactive business account?

[martysthreads]

I had to cancel/reorder a new business card due to some invalid transactions on my account. Since then my shopify account went inactive, how do I resolve this?

Hi @martysthreads,

Thank you for your message. If your account was closed because the credit card on file was not valid and Shopify could not collect payment for your latest invoice, then you should be able to log back into your store and pay the outstanding invoice with your new card. Once the invoice has been paid your account will become active again and your storefront will be back online.

Please let me know if you experience any issues logging into your account or adding your new card to your Shopify account.

Good Afternoon, when I go to login it says account inactive, where would I make the payment to reactivate the account?

[martysthreads]

I do need assistance logging in to make the payment for the balance. Since the account is "frozen" I cannot log in to where I would make the payment. Please help.

Hi @martysthreads,

Could you tell me what message you're greeted with when you attempt to log in? If you have an outstanding invoice on your account, you should be presented with an option to pay your overdue fees in order to regain access:

Are you seeing this screen? If not, please let me know what you see when you try and log in.

I did not see the screenshot you shared, I only get to this point:

I just received a notification that my ticket was elevated. The payment did go through from my bank account, so not the reason my account is frozen...My issue must go through Trust and Safety? Any clue what that means?

Hi @martysthreads,

Okay, thank you. It would seem that this has been escalated to our Trust & Safety department for them to review. Once they have done so, they will be back in touch with you over email to let you know what the next steps are.
