Hi @Melissasteed !

Since this is a billing issue, I highly suggest that you reach out to Shopify support team so, they can further check your account and resolve the issue for you. You can reach out to them by going through their Shopify Help Center and enter your concern on AI chat box, respond to it until the “I still need help” or “chat with a support advisor” option appear.
