Hello. I have tried repeatedly to access my account. We were away and unaware that our credit card had fraud and our bill was not paid. I have gotten updated cards and logged in (or rather tried to login) and I am unable. I have reset password, I have cleared cookies, I have used incognito and private on both browsers and I CAN NOT get int to pay my bill. Says my store is INACTIVE. I can’t get a call back since I can’t login. There is no SUPPORT@ any longer, Chat is AI and not helpful. How do I turn my store back on. I am LOOKING at hundreds of emails (including update your payment recently) and NOTHING works to get in. I know I have the right email because I set up this store, I set up the emails and no other email even is recognized. Help me turn my store back on.
Topic summary
Merchant cannot access their Shopify account to reactivate an inactive store after a billing failure caused by credit card fraud. They need to pay the overdue bill but cannot log in, get a callback, or find an email support option; AI chat has been unhelpful.
Troubleshooting already attempted: password reset, clearing cookies, incognito/private mode, multiple browsers, and confirming the correct account email. The store remains inactive and the login still fails; specific error message not yet provided.
Shopify support guidance: for account-specific issues, use the Help Center and follow the path—Contact Page → type “Can’t log in” → “I still need help” → “Account Support”—to reach appropriate support channels. Support can review the account, advise on regaining access, and settle outstanding bills.
Latest update: the merchant followed the instructions and submitted the support form. Status: unresolved, pending a response from Shopify Support; no concrete outcome reported yet.
