Hi, i dont think i have enough time to finish my store and to really check out if Shopify is something for me. Is there a possibility to get an extention on the free trial, so i could find out if Shopify really is for me?

Thanks, Kevin Bredde

Thanks for reaching out about your concerns, @kbreddd .

To clarify, our free trial is intended for users to get a little taste of some of the features that Shopify offers. We encourage users to make the most out of their trial period by learning how some of the platform’s features can help build their business. We understand that it does take some time to build a store, so it’s not expected that a store will be finished and ready to open at the end of the free trial period.

Did you sign up to our 3-day free trial period, with $1/month pricing for 3 months after signup? If that’s the case, opting for either the Starter or Basic plans will allow you to continue building your store for $1 each month for the next 3 months. If this still doesn’t suit your needs however, you can reach out to our live support team so that we can take a closer look at your account and situation to figure out any alternative solutions for your concern.

To get in touch with our team, you’ll need to login to your store via our Help Center here. Once logged in, select a topic that best fits your query or situation. From there, you’ll be taken to a page with a list of relevant support articles, and you can scroll to the bottom of that page to select your preferred contact method with our team. Our live support team will then be able to assist further.

In the meantime, in case you aren’t aware of some of the resources we have to help our merchants build their store for success, I recommend checking out the links below:
