I am wanting a response from shopify regarding why my account was terminated. 
and an opportunity to rectify the issue.

i have emailed a dispute 4 times and no one is responding to me. 
Can someone please contact me urgently.

Was there any lead up to this action of terminating your store? Or did it just happen our of the blue

[Jodieann22]

There was no notice at all

If your account was terminated, you can try reviewing any recent activity or communications from Shopify for potential reasons. Make sure you've followed the guidelines when submitting your dispute. If your email isn't receiving a response, consider double-checking spam folders or any alternate contact methods provided by Shopify.

I had 0 correspondence prior.
I’ve submitted a dispute claim twice.
I check my spam often on a daily basis.

Still no response

Hi @Jodieann22 

I see that you’re dealing with a really frustrating situation—getting your Shopify account terminated without a clear explanation and not receiving a response despite multiple dispute emails. That’s definitely not ideal, especially if your store is your main business.

Understanding the Issue

Shopify can terminate accounts for various reasons, including policy violations, chargeback issues, fraudulent activity, or other compliance concerns. However, they should provide at least some form of communication regarding the reason.

What You Can Do

Since you've already sent multiple dispute emails with no response, here’s what I suggest to get this escalated:

1. Check Your Email (Including Spam/Junk Folders)

   • Shopify usually sends termination emails with details about the issue. If you haven’t received one, double-check all inboxes, including spam.

2. Use Shopify’s Support Channels for Immediate Help

   • Instead of waiting for an email response, try reaching Shopify directly via their live chat or phone support.
   • Live Chat Support: https://help.shopify.com/en
   • Twitter/X Support: https://twitter.com/ShopifySupport
   • If your account was banned from logging in, try contacting them from a different Shopify account or as a guest.

3. Reach Out on Social Media

   • Many users have had success getting a faster response by tagging @ShopifySupport on Twitter/X and explaining their issue. Shopify’s team tends to be more responsive on public platforms.

4. Check Shopify’s Terms and Policies

   • If you suspect the termination was due to a policy violation, review Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy to see if any of your store’s activities might have conflicted with their terms.

5. Request a Formal Review

   • If you haven’t already, make sure your dispute email includes:
     • Your store URL and Shopify account email
     • A request for specific reasons for termination
     • An explanation or request for rectification if you believe the termination was unfair

6. If All Else Fails, Consider Legal Assistance

   • If Shopify doesn’t respond and your business is significantly affected, consulting a legal expert on digital business rights might be an option.

Since this is an account-related issue, only Shopify’s internal team can provide a final resolution. But I strongly recommend trying the live chat or Twitter approach if email isn’t working.

If you need any other assistance, feel free to ask, and I will try my best to support you.
Best regards,
Daisy.
