Types of charges on your Shopify bills
Your Shopify bill might include several types of charges. The following are the most common charges that are displayed in the Breakdown section of your bill:
- Subscription: Displays the charge for your store's Shopify subscription plan. If you switch your store to a lower subscription plan within a billing cycle, then a subscription credit is applied in this section.
- Apps: Displays app charges associated with the bill. App charges are set by the app developer. App developers can charge for apps with recurring fees, usage fees, and one-time fees. If you have an issue with an app charge, then contact the developer for help.
- Shipping: Displays charges for any shipping labels that you purchase and any label adjustments that you make during your billing cycle.
- Transaction fees: Displays transaction charges associated with the bill. You're charged transaction fees if your store doesn't have Shopify Payments activated.
