About billing thresholds

In addition to monthly subscription billing, Shopify also issues bills throughout the month according to your plan-based billing threshold. Billing thresholds are dollar values that trigger billing whenever the cost of your account activity exceeds its threshold amount.

You receive a bill whenever the total of your third-party transaction fees and other outstanding charges exceeds your account's threshold. Monthly subscription fees are included in your running total, but they are not included in threshold bills.

If you have any third-party transaction fees or other charges during your current billing cycle, then your store's threshold appears in theBillssection of theBillingShopify admin页面。如果你没有成交方式代码表tion fees or charges, then your store's threshold doesn't appear.

If you reach your billing threshold and you're issued with a bill, you can continue to buy shipping labels until the total reaches 110% of your threshold. No further purchases can be made until you pay for the issued bill. For example, if your threshold is $400, and your account's activity reaches $400, then you'll be issued a bill. You can still purchase shipping labels until your account activity reaches $440 (110% of $400), but any more purchases after that can be made only after you've paid your bill of $400.

To learn more about how you're billed for shipping labels,contact Shopify Support.

Charges triggered by your billing threshold appear in theBilling historysection of theBillingShopify admin页面。
