How to Cancel Shopify
Skycopia rates Shopify as medium to cancel, though you can do it yourself online. Expect some friction and probably an offer to stay, not a one-click exit.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Shopify bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Sign in as the store owner → Shopify admin → Settings → Plan → Cancel plan → enter your password
- 2
Click Cancel plan again, then choose "Cancel my plan and uninstall all apps" → Continue → pick a deactivation reason → Continue → confirm
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Shopify?
Shopify has a strict no-refund policy on subscription plans — cancelling doesn't return anything for the unused part of the current billing cycle, and all apps are auto-uninstalled with any outstanding app-usage, transaction, or shipping-label charges billed immediately at cancellation. Your subscription itself stays active through the end of the current billing cycle. Store data isn't deleted right away — Shopify keeps it for about 2 years so you can reopen the same store without rebuilding, unless you separately request customer data deletion.
