How to Cancel Shopify Balance and Get a Refund
Shopify Balance subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google, not inside the app, so you cancel them in your store settings. Below are the steps for both iPhone and Android, how to request a refund, and what users report about Shopify Balance billing.
Cancel Shopify Balance on iPhone (iOS)
- 1Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- 2Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID.
- 3Tap Subscriptions to see every app that bills you through Apple.
- 4Find Shopify Balance in the list and tap it. If it is not there, you may have subscribed through the app itself or a different Apple ID.
- 5Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You keep access to Shopify Balance until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.
Cancel Shopify Balance on Android
- 1Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- 2Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- 3Select Shopify Balance from your list of subscriptions.
- 4Tap Cancel subscription and choose a reason when prompted.

How to get a refund for Shopify Balance

Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the Shopify Balance purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.

Shopify Balance cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Shopify Balance stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Shopify Balance will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Shopify Balance?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Shopify Balance directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Shopify Balance charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is Shopify Balance still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Shopify Balance as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Shopify Balance account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Shopify Balance app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Shopify Balance right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Shopify Balance until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
