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。
Third-party payment providers
If your store uses a third-party payment provider, then you're billed either when the total of your store's fees and charges (including recurring charges for any apps that you have installed) exceeds one of your store's billing thresholds, or at the end of your 30-day billing cycle. For example:
- Your account is billed at the end of the day if the total of your third-party transaction fees and other outstanding charges exceeds your account's daily threshold amount.
- Your account is billed whenever the total of your third-party transaction fees and other outstanding charges exceeds your account's maximum threshold amount, which is twice the amount of your account's daily threshold
- If the total of your third-party transaction fees and other outstanding charges is below your billing thresholds, then your account is billed at the end of your 30-day billing period. If you change your store's Shopify subscription plan, then you're billed for any outstanding and prorated amounts.
You can view your store's billing thresholds in theBillssection of theBillingShopify admin页面。
Your first bill doesn't include third-party transaction fees, but your second bill includes all third-party transaction fees incurred up to that point.
Shopify Payments
If your store usesShopify Payments, then the credit card processing rates are deducted from your orders automatically. For any other outstanding charges, including recurring charges for any apps that you've installed, you're billed either when the total of your outstanding charges exceeds one of your store's billing thresholds, or at the end of your 30-day billing cycle, whichever comes first.
You can view your store's billing thresholds on theBillingpage in your Shopify settings.
