I started a shopify store through a 3rd party app Auto DS. I deactivated my auto DS/shopify store, but shopify is still charging me. I contacted auto ds and they stated everything is inactive and to reach out to shopify. The chat support does not help me get to a contact support. I need this resolved asap.
