What's going wrong
Merchants across several Shopify email marketing apps report paying for periods when the product sat unused, never configured, or could not be opened after installing. Some were charged right after installing, and others saw fees continue with no messages sent. Refund requests are reported as ignored, refused, or still pending for weeks, and support replies are described as absent or flat. Small store owners feel this most because a quiet shop still pays, and they have no easy way to match usage against charges. The opportunity is a tool that reconciles billing with real app activity, flags idle or stalled periods, and prepares refund claims so merchants can catch and recover these costs early.
