Need help how to cancel my subscription and get refunded

[KayeAlabata]

Dear Shopify support,

Its really frustrating how to get in contact with you.

 nativgold.myshopify is still under development and when I checked in earlier that my free trial ended and bill showed  "Payment Failed" 

And now just few hours later surprised to see that you deducted 312 USD  without any confirmation or email from me. How come you automatically charge when the page is not yet ready or launched yet?!

I'm requesting for your office to revert back my money as soon as possible.

Hey, @KayeAlabata!

Lulu here from the Shopify Support team. Thank you for getting in touch and I'll be more than happy to help you out with your question.

Firstly, I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble contacting our support team. We have changed our help centre recently so here is a quick clip for you to show how you can contact support on our help page.  You can also find our online chat service and email here. 

If a store is active on our platform and has not been cancelled then you are automatically included in our billing system. Our billing system cannot see if your store is still in development so it will automatically be charged unless the store has been closed down. If you cancel your store within 3 days of paying your invoice then in some cases we can look into issuing you a refund. 

Due to security reasons, I’m not able to actually cancel your shop for you, but here’s how to close up your Shopify Shop in just a few clicks. To cancel your store, log into your admin and follow these steps:

• Click on "Settings", then "Plans and permissions" or "Account"
•  Scroll to the bottom and click "Close my store".
• There is a guide in our help centre with steps you can follow here too.

Please let me know once you have cancelled your store and then I can authenticate your account and take a look into the refund for you.

Speak soon! 

[KayeAlabata]

Hi Lulu,

I've already close the store (September 2, 2020). Please note that this is cancelled within 3 days of invoice (Bill#87536726). Its billed for cycle August 31, 2020.

As I've mentioned to my post earlier, the store is still in development and were testing Shopify if it will be the best platform to use for E-commerce. It will be best if your team can check also the status of store before automatically deducting fee to make us more at ease with using your services.

Please help to refund the money deducted to my account.

Thank you and hoping for your immediate action.

Hi @Lulu 

I have the same issue, I cancelled my store probably like an hour or so after the invoice was made. Any help is appreciated. 

[timkum]

Same issue here, any help shopify?

[fletcherhoban]

Same problem here, I closed my store a day after getting a random charge of 399$ for a month. If you could help me out and give me a refund that would be great.

[Lulu]

Hi, @KayeAlabata.

Thank you for getting back to me. No problem, I have sent you an email now and you will need to respond to my email directly to confirm your store URL so I can verify you as the store owner to check over everything. Just so you are aware for future reference, it wouldn't matter if the store is a development store or a live store, you would still only get a 14-day free trial and would automatically be billed at the end of your trial if your store has not been cancelled. 

Please let me know once you have responded to my email so I can take a further look into this for you.

Speak soon! 

[Lulu]

Hi, @Anthonyp.

Welcome to the thread. I am sorry to hear that you were also charged unexpectedly. I can do the same as above and verify you as the store owner to help you out further. In order to do so, I will just need to send you an email to the email address attached to this forums account and confirm some security questions about your store. Once you reply to that email, I will get that done for you. Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes the email can land there.

Speak soon! 

[wengay2900]

Hi! I have the same issue as well. I tried the 90-day free trial and I got charged last month and also this month. Both my accounts were inactive for almost three months because I was busy working and completely forgot about my shopify accounts.. Now I want help on how to get refunded. Thank you so much in advance!

[Lulu]

Hi, @wengay2900.

Welcome to the thread. The store does need to be cancelled before the trial ends to ensure you are not charged anything, I know it is easy to forget though. Have you cancelled the store now? You will need to do this first before I can take a look at your account.

Due to security reasons, I’m not able to actually cancel your shop for you, but here’s how to close up your Shopify Shop in just a few clicks.

To cancel your store, log into your admin and follow these steps:

• Click on "Settings", then "Plans and permissions" or "Account"
• Scroll to the bottom and click "Close my store".
• There is a guide in our help centre with steps you can follow here too.

Please let me know once this is done. I will also just need to verify your account so I will send you an email to the email address attached to this forums account and confirm some security questions about your store. Once you reply to that email, I can take a closer look for you.

Speak soon! 

[MoonlightSpade]

Hi Lulu, 

I’m having the same issues cancelling and requesting a refund. I got charged 12/14, noticed it today, but my store is inactive and I’ve decided I don’t want to stay with Shopify. I hate that there is not direct customer service number or email. Every customer service link says it’s broken because it’s been redirected too many times. Can you please help issue my refund. I will be following your steps on how to cancel my account once you reply. 

thanks 

[kokomintboutiqu]

[KayeAlabata]

Hi Lulu,

That is noted. I send a response thru the email you sent.

Thank you for your immediate action.

I'll wait for your update then.

[KayeAlabata]

Hi Lulu,

Please help to follow-up from your financial department as I'm not receiving any update.

Thanks.

[Lulu]

Hi, @KayeAlabata.

Thank you for reaching back out and I apologise for the delay you are experiencing. I can see that your ticket is still in the relevant department's queue but as we are experiencing much higher than usual volumes of contact, it will likely take a bit longer before you hear back on this. The first place you will get an update is by email, as we do not have access to your file here in the forums so please keep an eye out there for any information.

Of course, if there is anything else I can help with in the meantime, please just let me know!

[KayeAlabata]

Sincerely,

[Chiemezie]

Dear Shopify support,

First off I've found it pretty difficult to get in contact with your team

My store hasn't even been touched or worked on is still under development just to check and see you've charged me without any notice or prior warning for $65!

 How come you automatically charge when the page is not yet ready or launched yet?!

I'm requesting for your office to revert back my money as soon as possible.

[Angie16]

[noahanderson]

I need help with this, I was charged today and canceled within an hour of being charged, could I possibly get a refund? My email is [email protected]. Thanks. 

[Victoria]

Hello, @noahanderson.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your question!

I understand you were billed today for your subscription and cancelled afterwards. 

I would like to advise that as per our Shopify Terms of Service - Section 5.10, we do not offer refunds. However, you can connect with our support team through the Shopify Help Center so that we can review this on a case by case basis. 

Let us know if you have questions navigating the Help Center or need help.

[tomthomasie]

Hi,

I own a store, but was not making enough sales.

I had disconnected my payment information, but today I see somehow Shopify has renewed my subscription for another year, and the money is taken out of my account.

I want to cancel the subscription and refund the money.

Could you please help me?

Awaiting response.

[f73e4a-69]

Hello Shopify Help Center,

I am a recent store owner and just got billed for my first month of Shopify basic plan subscription.  However, instead of getting billed $40, I was billed over $500 for the annual plan which is not what I had selected when choosing a plan as I had intentionally opted for monthly payments.  This is ridiculous and I would like a refund and to be billed monthly instead as soon as possible.  Please respond to this message as I am losing a lot of money. 

Thanks,

[Skye]

Hi, @InflameJewelry 

Thanks for joining the conversation. That is definitely frustrating!

That being said, it sounds like you accidentally selected the Annual Plan. The reason for my assumption is the numbers you provided are equal to our Canadian Annual prices. For example the yearly price in Canada is $456 plus tax. This equals out to $40 a month. If you were paying monthly, the charge would be roughly $55 with tax per month, not $40. The numbers provided don't connect to any of our USD pricing as the yearly charge you would see on your statement for Americans would be $348 plus tax. 

As such, the best thing to do is to contact our live Support Team as soon as possible. This will allow us to escalate the situation to billing to have them adjust you to monthly. 

[InflameJewelry]

Thank you so much for your response!

I will definitely reach out to the support team, however, the link in your
response didn’t seem to direct me to a live chat and I’m not quite sure how
to go about this. Would you be able to show me where to go?

[fletcherhoban]

I have an old store that I have not used in a long time, and out of nowhere I am charged 399$. I would like a refund, I cancelled my store a day afterward, and now I would like to get in contact with someone. Let me know thanks.

[Ramsin28272]

Hi, Iv hade the same problem I just got charged for my plan on shopify but I was just testing out shopify and I thought I cancelled the plan. My store is already deactivated so I would greatly appreciate a refund.

Thanks

[fletcherhoban]

Hey Lulu,

I have already closed my store (June 1, 2024). This was canceled within the day of the invoice (Bill #237947658). Within the three days of invoice, It is billed for cycle June 1, 2024.

The store that I own put me on a 1$ month trial.The next month, without being notified, I was immediately charged with 399$ for a month to my bank account. I was very unaware of this, and I would like to get a refund.  Mind you I also was unaware of this store  that I had because I forgot I created it, so there is nothing being done to it.

Thank you, I am hoping for your immediate action
