Why does my Shopify bill increase to Rs. 2000 after a 3-month trial?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Billing change after trial: After the initial trial/promo period, charges switch to the full monthly price of the chosen plan. A later update clarifies the previous “₹20/month for 3 months” promo is no longer available; currently only the first month is ₹20, then standard plan rates apply.

Plan options and current monthly prices (INR):

  • Starter: â‚ą399/month
  • Basic: â‚ą1,994/month
  • Shopify: â‚ą7,447/month
  • Advanced: â‚ą30,164/month

Domain ownership: Stores start with a default .myshopify.com URL. A custom domain is not automatically created; you must buy through Shopify, connect a third-party domain, or transfer one to Shopify.

Cancellation/deactivation: You can deactivate your store if you don’t want to continue paying, but must settle any outstanding balances. You choose a plan at sign-up; after the promo period, charges follow that plan’s standard price.

Status: Pricing and domain options were clarified. The key update is the discontinuation of the 3-month â‚ą20 promo; discussion otherwise resolved without major disagreement.

Hello, @sb697137 .

Thanks for posting your question to the Shopify Community.

When you first sign up to create a Shopify store, you have a 3-day free trial. Once the 3-day trial period is over, you’ll then proceed to the pick a plan page. You will be able to select either the Starter, Basic, Shopify and Advanced plans for ₹20/month for 3 months. After the 3-month period is up, you will be required to pay the full price of your selected plan as normal.

Depending on which plan chosen, the Basic Plan is â‚ą1,994/month, Shopify Plan is â‚ą****7,447/month, Advanced Plan is â‚ą30,164/month and the Starter Plan is â‚ą399/month.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for your reply, @sb697137

You have several options when it comes to owning your own domain.

When you first create your Shopify store, by default, your online store is given a .myshopify.com URL. To change the web address that’s displayed to customers while they browse your online store, you need to use a custom domain.

To obtain a custom domain you can explore the following:

Hi @official_gamer ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I’d be happy to provide some assistance with this request, to ensure it gets resolved.

To share some insight, the promotional offer mentioned in this thread is no longer available. While I can completely understand the impact, we’re currently offering your first month for ₹20 when you first sign-up. Following your first month, subscription fees will be charged depending on the plan you’ve selected.

If at any point you no longer wish to run your online business, you can deactivate your shop but will need to pay any outstanding balances that you may have on the account. To learn more about this and how you can close down your shop, feel fee to check out our Pausing and Deactivating Your Store.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
