2Important: apps and charges
Your Shopify plan is paid by Genaxis. Anything that adds a charge to the Shopify bill lands on Genaxis's card.
This also covers payment providers that Shopify charges a transaction fee for, such as the Atome providers in section 18. Many apps look free at first and start charging after a trial, so please check with us before you click Install on anything.
To see which apps are installed, click Settings, then Apps.
- 1Shopify App Store: please do not install from here without our consent or approval.
To ask, send us a support request (see section 20) with the app's name and what you want it to do.
