Hey, @Youssefo6!

Happy to help get this cleared up! To provide some insight, Shopify charges the monthly subscription in UTC time which can cause a charge to appear earlier than expected. That said, as per our Terms of Service, we do not offer refunds, but if your store was recently closed then we may be able to offer an exception. For this, I have gone ahead and sent an email to verify your account so we can review your refund request.

Hello, 

I was testing shopify and just wanted to learn how it worked. I was charged the Sept. 14th my $29.00 subscription. Today Sep 16th I cancelled my account. I had intended to do so before the 14th but it as the weekend. Will shopify, refund my monthly subscription? Help!

As per our Terms of Service, we do not offer refunds, but if your store was recently closed then we may be able to offer an exception. If you haven't yet closed the store, you'll want to do so by going to Settings/Account OR Settings/Plans and Permissions (whichever applies to you) and select "Close Store" at the bottom of the page. This will close your store, remove you from active billing, and restrict all access to the account itself. We will need the account to be closed before a refund request can be considered. 

With that all said, I've shipped you an email to help get this request completed!

Hello Peter, I was just charged for the shopify monthly subscription again. I was charged for the past 2 months but I am not looking to recoup those amount. However, I was just charged for this month today. Can I close my store to be refunded that amount back?

My account was charged $29 USD today and i want close the store as this is just  a testing and learn since i had no sales. I was shocked my bank account was billed of the plan that i did not want in the first place. Please if anyone can help i appreciate it i can't just lose that money that i a just a student and i really need it. Can someone guide me how?

[myshop09]

I already close the store. How can i trigger the refund?

@akchet 

From the sounds of it, your account would still be active if you're still being billed for the monthly subscription. Could you attempt to login to your account? If you're greeted with a pricing page, the account is closed, which would indicate that you have a secondary account setup. If you're not greeted with a pricing page, and you're able to fully login, then the account is still active and would require that you navigate to Settings/Account or Settings/Plans and Permissions then select "Close Store" at the bottom of the page. Doing so will put you through the prompts to fully close the store and remove you from active billing. Once done, let me know!

@myshop09 

Happy to help here! To provide some context, if the account is not closed before the end of the trial period, and a credit card is added, then that indicates that you've authorized our systems to charge the monthly amount. The refund will need to be processed by someone in Support as it's not an automatic refund. As per our Terms of Service, we do not offer refunds, but if your store was recently closed then we may be able to offer an exception. I've sent you an email to the email listed in your Community account to get this request reviewed.

Hello, I have closed my account which is a paid account. When I sign into it, it brings me to the pricing page.

However, I have another account which is shopify developers preview account. This account seems to not be a paid account, however I cannot seem to find where to delete this account.

Am I still able to obtain the refund for my paid account which I have closed?

@akchet 

Thank you for ensuring your account was closed. We'll need to take this to email as we can't speak about account specifics in a public forum. I've sent you an email to the email listed on your forums account. If you can follow up there, then I can get your refund request reviewed.

Hello Peter,

I currently have a shopify account with three profiles within my account. Today, I subscribed to a plan to the wrong account. Is there any way I could get a refund ASAP?

Thank you,

Anthony

@anthonymquintal 

Are you planning on using the account? As per our Terms of Service, we do not offer refunds, but if your store was recently closed then we may be able to offer an exception. If you do intend on using the account and wish to keep it active, then we would not be able to review a refund request. 

Let me know!

Hello, Future Viewers!

The Shopify Community is not a regularly monitored channel. As per our Terms of Service, we do not offer refunds, but if your store was recently closed then we may be able to offer an exception. It would be best to reach out to our 24/7 Live Support via phone, chat, or social media (Twitter & Facebook). Reaching out to our live support will ensure our teams can review your refund request to determine if we are able to make an exception. Reaching out to our support will provide a better user experience for you while ensuring your question is reviewed as soon as possible.

Hello, I currently hold a Shopify Account and I wasn't notified for rebilling of this month. On this day, I was planning to close my store as I have already sold the goods internally and externally. Not knowing I was going to be billed automatically 29 USD from my bank account as I had received a notification from my bank being so. My request is to have the 29 USD refunded back to my account as I cannot afford to lose my money as I have personal bills to pay in the next few days, please consider my request. If this intends to be successful, Shopify may have to authority to immediately shut down my store. Thank you for your kind consideration.

[Trevor]

@bgthe1og 

Our billing system will invoice a store every 30 days; however, this is done in UTC, which can cause your store to be billed quicker than expected. As per our Terms of Service, we do not offer refunds, but if your store was recently closed then we may be able to offer an exception. If you haven't closed your store, you will need to do this by going to Settings/Plans and Permissions and selecting "Close Store" at the bottom of the page. Once done, you can reply here, and I'll verify your account and review your refund request.

Hi, I have the same situation where I planned on closing my store on the last day of the trial but was unable to close in time. I closed my store today, just after I received an invoice yesterday and the customer support representative I contacted said that they do not issue any kind of refund. However, this forum seems to be pretty recent so I would just like to check in for an update about whether I can get a refund.

@Trevor 

I am in a similar situation except that I have an annual plan of a charge of $850.

I have already started a ticket but would I also need to stop my store

in order to receive a refund? I was just hoping to get my money back and switch

to the monthly basic plan. Please let me know on what would be the best

course of action.

Thanks

I can't provide specific information to your ticket on a public forum outside of letting you know that your request has been escalated and is being reviewed by our Billing team. Once they have an update, they will follow up with you via email. 

For security reasons, I have edited your reply and removed the ticket number from your response.

Hi I had intended to close my store the day before getting billed but it seems I was billed early. The billing invoice was less than 24 hours ago. Would it be possible to get refunded for yesterdays billing invoice if I were to close my store today. I can close it immediately after getting a response. My email is

[alexalbti]

Hey @Trevor,

I have the same issue. I've already closed my store.

Could you please send me email with instructions on how to get my subscription fee refunded?
