HI @SODH

If you haven’t selected the paid plan before the free 14 days trial ends, your account will be frozen and you cannot access your store anymore.

You definitely can sign up for a one-month billing cycle and you can also upgrade your subscription billing period from monthly to annually.

If you aren’t ready to launch your store, you can reach out to Shopify support to ask to see if you’re eligible to extend your trial period.

I hope this answer will help you.

Hi @SODH

It sounds like you have been doing some excellent work on building your store - well done! That is awesome to hear. Have you been enjoying the experience so far? What kind of products are you going to be selling on your store?

I understand that sometimes the 14-day trial may not be enough time to get your store exactly the way you want it. Keep in mind that you don’t have to ‘go live’ with the store after selecting a plan. You can continue to work on the store and only disable your password page when you feel you are ready for customers to see it.

Was it mainly product or theme images that you needed more time with? Just so you know, we have some helpful info about uploading images here.

@AvadaCommerce would be correct in saying that if you do not select a plan and add a payment method before your free trial ends, then the store would enter what is called a frozen state. The only way to re-open the store would be to login, select a plan and then add a payment method.

I would recommend reaching out to our support team using this link here. We can have a closer look at your store, and make sure that you wouldn’t incur any extra charges if you left the store idle in a frozen state, then decided to re-open at a later date. If you explain your situation to us there, we will do our best to accommodate you during this time.
