Doesn't look right? Things you could check:

  • Check if you run a Shopify store — Shopify bills store owners directly for monthly plans, app subscriptions, or transaction fees — logging into your Shopify account would show any recent invoices.
  • Look for a receipt email — Shopify typically sends billing confirmation emails to the address associated with the store owner's account.
  • Consider whether someone else used your card — If you don't recognize a Shopify store subscription, it's worth checking whether a family member or business partner may have used your card to set one up.
  • Note the number in the descriptor — The '123456' portion may be an internal Shopify order or invoice reference that could help identify the charge if you contact Shopify support.
WHAT THE DESCRIPTOR TELLS US
