Why is it so hard to find out where to contact Shopify customer service?

Topic summary

Difficulty reaching Shopify customer support for account and billing issues. One user needs help with a shipping adjustment; another reports bank charges despite not having a Shopify account and can’t find phone or email support.

Suggested contact paths (links are central to the thread):

Multiple participants report these links don’t work for them, expressing frustration at the lack of direct phone/email options. A troubleshooting tip suggests clearing cookies/cache, using incognito mode, or trying a different browser, implying possible browser-related issues.

Current status: Unresolved. Users still seek a reliable, direct way to reach Shopify, especially to dispute unauthorized charges and address shipping adjustments. Key open question: how to contact support when the Help Center links fail and no alternative contact method is provided.

Hi @FungiFlowHoods ,

You can use this link to have a direct chat with Shopify support.

None of these links work. This is acrtually shocking how massive companies can just shut you out when you pay them so much. This is my business that I am experiencing huge issues with and cannot even contact customer support.

@lauren500000000 check the answer I posted earlier, I just tested those steps and it still works.

If it doesn’t work for you it’s probably a browser issue, in that case either clear cookies / cache, go to incognito mode, or try a new browser.

This does not work

I need to contact shopify about a payment that is being deducted from my bank account even though i dont have a shopyfy shop or account. I dont know how to contact them about this issue as there is no phone number or evn an email adress. I have had to open a free trail today just to make contact and that is not working either.

Pls help
