I want to remove all my payment info from my account (card,paypal)

Topic summary

A user wants to completely remove payment information (credit card and PayPal) from their Shopify account after closing their stores. They note that the platform only offers a “REPLACE” option rather than “DELETE” for payment details, and they don’t want Shopify to retain this data.

Shopify’s Response:

  • Payment deletion requests must be handled by the privacy team, not through self-service account settings
  • Users need to contact live support advisors who can escalate the request
  • Support can be reached by logging into the account, visiting the Help Center, and submitting a request via live chat, email, or callback

Status: The issue remains unresolved pending direct contact with Shopify’s privacy team through official support channels.
