What happens if I don't choose a payment plan before my trial ends?

Shopify Discussion

I am very confused in the payment plan section.
I have a few questions whose answers I couldn’t find.

  1. First my trial is ending at 2nd Aug’2023 if i wouldnt select a payment plan by then what will happen if the account/store gets frozen then how can i select plan
  2. second suppose i select the plan on 1st Aug i enter my Credit Card details then must there be sufficient funds in my credit card for it to continue.
  3. Thirdly if i selected a plan before trial ends and connected credit card details it accepts then will it automatically detect from account when trial ends if it does then what if after connecting then i withdrawn some money from my bank it has less funds for shopify then what happens.
  4. fourthly if it connects on 1 aug and it automatically deducts money from account (with funds in it) when it does than can i dis select the card ?

Hi, @AMA5 . I’m happy to help you out with this! Are you planning of continuing with your store after your free trial ends? If you’re still setting up your store, let us know if you have any questions!

When your free trial expires your paid subscription begins so that you can continue to use Shopify. If you haven’t entered billing information to pay for your subscription, your store will freeze instead. If you’d like to continue with that store at a later time after it’s already been frozen, you can reactivate the store by logging in, updating your billing information, and paying your subscription. You can read more about frozen Shopify stores here. I’d recommend reading over this section on reactivating frozen stores in particular.

You will be charged automatically when your bill is due every month. You can stay updated on your current and future bills by going to the Settings > Billing page in your Shopify admin. If the payment method you connected doesn’t have enough money available to pay the bill, the charge will be attempted again approximately 4 days later. If you still don’t have the funds available, the charge will continue to be attempted, for a total of 8 attempts. If after 28 days the bill still isn’t paid, your store will be frozen.

Please let me know if you have any questions! This guide on managing billing and this guide on understanding your Shopify bill can help in the meantime as well.
