How can I request a refund for an unused subscription?

If you cancel a subscription and the payment did not go through, the charge will automatically be voided by Shopify and should disappear from your account within 5–10 business days. In some cases, the charge may take 2–3 business days to appear in our billing system before we can process a refund. No further action is needed—simply wait for the pending charge to clear.

If the payment did go through, request a refund by providing your store name and, if needed, the invoice or payment screenshot so support can locate the correct billing record. Refund eligibility depends on the transaction and Shopify’s billing rules. If the charge is within the applicable refund window, Stock Sync may process the refund; otherwise, Shopify Support may need to assist because Shopify processes subscription billing. Stock Sync may also offer app credits instead of a direct refund when a bank refund cannot be processed.

If a charge does not appear in our billing dashboard, support may request proof of payment from you and contact Shopify to locate the transaction. Once a refund is issued, it typically takes 2–5 business days to reflect on your original payment method; Shopify may take up to 7 days to detect or display it in the billing page, and some banks or payment providers may take 5–10 business days to complete the credit. If it still does not appear after that timeframe, contact Shopify Support or your bank and ask them to check for a pending inbound merchant credit. Keep the refund confirmation, invoice, charge ID, or transaction reference available.
