Why is Shopify charging me when I didn't sign up?

Topic summary

Support staff provided step-by-step instructions to contact the live support team without logging in:

  • Navigate to Shopify Help Center
  • Select “Can’t log in to your Shopify account” under Troubleshooting

Thanks for letting me know, @Sherrijones70 . I’ve updated the link to the Help Center in my earlier reply, so it should now take you to the correct page.
