What's going wrong
Merchants using several Shopify dropshipping sourcing apps report being charged more than the price they were shown or agreed to. Reports include unrequested annual or auto-pay plans, trial sign-ups moved onto higher paid tiers, and a second store that doubled the cost without a clear notice on the pricing page. The reporters are small Shopify stores that installed these apps to browse catalogs, and several say the charges are missing from their Shopify billing record, which makes disputes hard. The shared failure is an unclear price before purchase and an unclear charge after it. The opportunity is a tool that compares each app charge against the agreed plan and the store's billing history, and warns merchants about surprises before they happen.
