Why is my store inactive after just paying?

I just installed Shopify, worked on a product. 
I didn’t see how to change or work on the theme of my product so I decided to pay for the Basic Shopify Plan.

right after paying, my account freezes, logged my out, and now saying inactive.

I thought it was a wifi connection so I try to sign in through my laptop and a different phone

But they all say inactive, it charge my credit card and now I’m in distress wondering what happened and why it’s inactive after paying. HELPP

Was this ever resolved? my store also turned "inactive" after I updated my payment method. Now I can't access my store and my domain and there's just a "we'll be back soon" note. I did not even receive an email about the random inactive status of my store. Before this happened I also just paid my bills 2 days prior via the automatic Shopify Debit every month.

You guys never reached out to me before turning my store inactive. Same thing for me. I paid the shopify plan and 2 hours later my store is inactive. It’s been 8 days and they can’t reach out to me. As a customer we have the right to know the reasons why you guys closed our stores. But I have no info. They keep telling me that the review team will reach out to me. But 8 DAYS FOR A REVIEW ? That’s crazy ! I can confidently and sincerely say that there is no illegal activity in my store, and now I cant even access my admin to ship the pending orders. This is a mess and a bad look on shopify! Now our customers think that we are scammers which is understandable because they come back to the website to check the shipping status but they find that the website is closed. I need an answer quickly because im ready to move on now
