Can I Cancel My Shopify Plan At Any Time?



Yes, you can cancel your Shopify plan at any time. however, depending upon the plan you choose and the time in which you cancel it, there may be some considerations to think about and associated fees.

If you cancel your Shopify plan within the free trial period, then there is no fee or penalty that you will need to pay. However, if you choose to cancel your plan after the free trial period is up, then you may be subject to a cancellation fee that is based upon the amount of the plan you had selected. The more expensive the plan, the higher the cancellation fee that may apply. If you choose to close down your Shopify store, no matter when you do it, you will be responsible for any outstanding bills or outstanding fees that have yet to be paid.

Once you have decided to cancel your Shopify plan and you have been charged a cancellation fee if necessary, you will need to contact Shopify support in order to have your subscription cancelled. As part of their cancellation process, they may offer insight into why your subscription was terminated so that you and your team can gain insights to guide future decisions. All payment data and any personal information you have provided to Shopify will then be removed and your store will be closed. Any orders, products, or other content contained within your store will also be fully removed, so be sure to save any valuable data before cancelling your Shopify plan.

When cancelling your Shopify subscription, it is important that you clearly understand all of the terms and conditions, as well as the associated fees. By understanding these conditions and fees, you can make sure you get the most out of your Shopify plan, while still avoiding any unnecessary fees.
