The short answer
The registry records Shopify as a possible interpretation of SHOPIFY. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
What is the Shopify charge?
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears on your bank statement because you own, manage, or previously registered an active online store hosted on the network. It is vital to recognize that this is never a consumer purchase made from an external retail store; instead, it covers monthly software subscription tiers, custom domain renewals, third-party marketplace app fees, or daily capital loan repayments.
Types of Shopify Fees
Unreviewed registry note: Charges appear for monthly store subscriptions, third-party app fees, domain name renewals, or shipping labels.
Unreviewed registry note: If you took out a loan through Shopify Capital, your daily repayments are also automatically deducted from your sales or bank account.
- Step 1 Unreviewed registry note: Look at the 9-digit bill number often included in the statement descriptor (e.g., 'SHOPIFY * 123456789').
- Step 2 Unreviewed registry note: Log into your Shopify Admin dashboard and review to Settings > Billing to view your invoices and match the charge.
Frequently asked questions
What can the SHOPIFY lookup establish?
It provides a reference for this exact statement wording and the registry's recorded interpretation. It cannot establish that you authorized the payment or confirm the merchant from a name match. Inspect this entry's evidence status and compare the original transaction with your account records.
What should I ask my issuer about SHOPIFY?
Provide the exact descriptor, amount, date and pending or posted status. Ask which transaction system was used and which merchant or originator details are available. Explain any suspected error or unauthorized payment explicitly and keep the institution's response.
Part of a family
SHOPIFY is one of the SP* Shopify Payments charges registry groups. A shared group does not establish who billed your transaction.
