Question 1

What is the SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge on your bank statement is a payment you made to an online store that uses Shopify as its payment processor. Shopify Payments is the built-in payment system used by many e-commerce merchants, so when you buy something from a Shopify-powered store, the charge appears as SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* followed by the merchant name. This is a legitimate charge and not a scam or unauthorized transaction.

Question 2

The amount for SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* is different each time it appears — is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is completely normal. The SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge reflects the exact amount of your purchase from a specific Shopify merchant, so it will vary depending on what you ordered and from which store. Since many different online retailers use Shopify Payments to process transactions, you may see this label repeatedly on your statement with different amounts corresponding to different purchases from different stores.

Question 3

How do I figure out which store the SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge came from?

Accepted Answer

To identify which store the SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge came from, check the full descriptor on your bank statement, as it often includes the merchant name after the SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* label. You can also review your email inbox for order confirmation emails around the date of the charge. If you still cannot identify the merchant, contact your bank to request the full merchant details, or reach out to Shopify support at shopify.com who may be able to help trace the specific store associated with the transaction.

Question 4

I don't recognize a SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge — how do I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

If you do not recognize a SHOPIFY PAYMENTS* charge, first check your email for any order confirmations from Shopify-based stores around the date of the transaction. If you still cannot account for the charge, contact the merchant directly since refunds are handled by the individual store, not Shopify itself. If you believe the charge is truly unauthorized, contact your bank to dispute it. Unfortunately, there is no single cancel URL available for Shopify Payments charges since each charge is tied to a specific merchant rather than a central subscription service.
