Why Am I Being Charged for Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 2:56 am

If you’ve been using Shopify to sell online, you may have noticed a charge on your credit card statement for “Shopify.” Here’s why:

Shopify is a platform that helps businesses create and operate their online stores. In order to use Shopify, businesses must pay a monthly subscription fee. This fee covers the cost of hosting businesses’ online stores, as well as providing them with access to Shopify’s ecommerce tools and features.

The monthly subscription fee for Shopify ranges from $29 to $299, depending on the plan that businesses choose. Businesses that sign up for a higher-priced plan typically get access to more features and support than those on a lower-priced plan.

PRO TIP: If you see a charge on your credit card or bank statement for Shopify, it is likely that you have signed up for a free trial of our service, or have created a new account with us.

If you did not sign up for a free trial or create a new account, please contact our support team immediately at 1-888-746-7439 so we can investigate.

In addition to the monthly subscription fee, businesses using Shopify are also charged transaction fees when they make a sale. These fees are assessed on a per-transaction basis and are generally very small (usually around 2%).

So if you’ve been seeing charges for “Shopify” on your credit card statement, now you know why!

The monthly subscription fee for Shopify is quite reasonable, especially considering the amount of features and support that businesses get in return. The transaction fees are also very small, making Shopify an affordable option for businesses that want to sell online.
