This guide explains how Shopify billing approval works for Composerie stores. It is for new merchants setting up Composerie for the first time. Shopify shows the exact subscription, usage, and any trial terms before you approve billing.
What Shopify approves
The Shopify approval screen is the source of truth for the plan terms that apply to your store. Review the subscription, usage meter, billing date, and any trial terms before you continue.
Composerie entitlements and usage billing follow the terms approved in Shopify. If those terms include a future billing start date or trial period, Composerie mirrors that status in billing settings.
Composerie does not ask Shopify merchants for a separate card. Shopify handles the subscription approval and charges Composerie through your Shopify invoice.
Before the first charge, review the billing date shown in Shopify and in Composerie’s billing settings. That gives you time to review or cancel if you need to.
Approve billing
You approve billing during onboarding, on the Billing step. You reach it after you connect your Shopify store.
Connect a store first
The Billing step is not skippable, and it comes after you connect your Shopify store. If you have not connected one yet, do that first. See connect your Shopify store.
Open the Billing step
When you reach the Billing step, you see the Shopify billing card and a button to continue to Shopify.
Approve the plan in Shopify
The card form is not shown in Composerie. Your subscription is charged on your Shopify invoice instead. Select “Continue to Shopify,” approve the plan in your Shopify admin, and you return to Composerie automatically.
Once your subscription is created, Composerie sends a confirmation email. If you do not see it, check your spam folder.
After approval
The first charge happens according to the Shopify-approved billing terms.
You can review, change, or cancel your plan from Shopify before the billing date shown in Shopify. See manage your subscription for the steps.
Usage fees begin according to the Shopify-approved usage terms. To understand how those fees work and when they apply, read usage fees explained.
