Hey @kriya10 .

Thanks for reaching out.

I appreciate the context that you have shared with us as that is very helpful! As Shopify is a platform that hosts online businesses, we do not manage or ship the orders ourselves.

In this case, if you are unable to get in touch with the business that you have made the purchase from, my suggestion is to speak to your bank or credit card company. They should have processes aimed to retrieve your funds for the online purchase.

We do have a buyer FAQ: about your order which provides the next steps depending on the status of your order.

Let me know if you have any questions.
