Hello, @Kirsty01 .

Sometimes when closing a store, the last subscription fee needs to be cleared upon store closure. Is it possible this last invoice is for this?

To be sure of this, I would advise reaching out to our live support so they can investigate what this last invoice was in relation to. Our live support can be reached via our support portal here. Simply select the relevant topics until the live support options appear, you will then be connected to a live support agent. I trust this helps, thank you!
