Ongoing Account Bans Without Resolution - Urgent Assistance Required

This has been incredibly frustrating, and it’s been 5 months without any response from Shopify support. I’ve been banned 4 times without any reason or warning, and every time I file a dispute or contact live support, I’m promised a response within 2 business days—but I’m still waiting after 5 months.

Here’s the situation: I set up my store and everything was ready to go. As soon as I set up Shopify Payments and linked my US bank account, I got banned. After filing a dispute, I got my account back, but only after waiting a whole month. Then, when I connected the same US bank account again, I was banned immediately. I contacted support and got unbanned in 3 days, faster than before.

But then it got ridiculous—just paying for my monthly plan with my US debit card got me banned. Not for setting up Shopify Payments or linking a bank account, but literally for paying my subscription. Then, today, I created a new store, picked a plan, and boom—banned again right after paying.

I’ve talked to live chat support 4 times, and all I get are empty promises that someone will reach out within 2 days to whitelist my bank account and credit card. It’s been 5 months of this, from May until now, the end of October. All my information is verified and legal, but I’m still being banned for no reason, over and over.

I am simply getting banned by either paying in my US CREDIT CARD or Just SETTING UP SHOPIFY PAYEMTN AND CONNECTING MY US BANK ACCOUNT.

Shopify Support/Employees, I’m trying to launch my business, and these constant bans are delaying everything by months. I’m tired of the empty promises and waiting for a response that never comes. Can someone actually help me out here, or is it going to be more of the same? I WANT TO LUNCH MY BUSINESS PLEASE HELP.

Shopify Support/Employees I am waiting for a reply. I want my problem to be solved I feel like you dont care about you customers that much.

WaleedManna,

Don’t stress out, good man. The universe is trying to tell you to avoid Shopify!

  • They’re not the only hosting company in the capable of supporting your website.
  • Never put the survival of your business and livelihood into the hands of an outside party who keeps proving over and over again, they don’t care about you.

Launch your website on a different platform – or keep running into these brick walls over and over again.
