Shopify Renewal FAQs
Can I get a refund if I cancel Shopify early?
Shopify generally does not offer pro-rated refunds for cancelled annual plans. You keep access until the cycle ends.
How do I remove seats from Shopify?
Go to your billing console, remove the active users, and manually adjust the seat count downwards to prevent future charges.
