What Is "SP SHOPIFY" on My Bank Statement?

SP SHOPIFY is a Shopify Payments descriptor shown by some banks for purchases at Shopify-powered online stores. It means you bought something from an online retailer using Shopify's checkout.

Plain-English explanation

Some banks display Shopify Payments charges as 'SP SHOPIFY' rather than 'SP*' followed by the store name. The underlying transaction is the same — a purchase from a Shopify-powered online store. The charge is for a real product or service from a merchant.

Most common reasons this appears

• Online order from any Shopify-based store
• Subscription from a Shopify merchant
• Gift card or digital product purchase

How to verify this charge

• Check your email for order confirmation emails.
• Log in to any online store accounts you have and check order history.
• Contact Shopify at shopify.com/support with the charge date and amount.

When to be concerned

• No order email in your inbox for any recent purchase.
• You haven't shopped online recently.
• Multiple SP SHOPIFY charges you don't recognize.
