Shopify reserves the right to change our fees at any time. We will provide you with 30 days notice of any fee changes. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the modified fee amount.
Merchants on thin margins who miss a fee change notice could face unexpected cost increases with no recourse, since continued use of the platform constitutes automatic acceptance of the new rates.
Shopify's Terms of Service primarily affect merchants who build stores on the platform, granting Shopify broad rights to suspend accounts, modify pricing, and use merchant content, which can directly disrupt a merchant's business and revenue stream. Merchants bear full liability for their store's compliance with laws, meaning Shopify disclaims responsibility if a merchant's products or practices violate sector-specific regulations. You can review and export your store data at any time through the Shopify admin dashboard to maintain an independent backup of your business information.
