How to Update Your Billing Period on Shopify
By Sam Nguyen
The billing period, also known as the billing cycle, is the interval between one bill and the next bill published right after that. The length of this period can be increased, however, you can not customize the specific day of the month to receive the bill on. As the default, the length of a billing cycle is set as 30 days. On the last day of a cycle, a bill will be issued, containing the information of the price you are charged, according to your Shopify plan.
Depends on your Shopify usage plan, it is possible to get a discount on the total subscription charges if you set up a longer billing period.
Note:
Shopify subscription charges could not be refunded under any circumstance. The detailed information could be viewed in terms of service section.
