# Billing and payments for Shopify

> How BackupMaster billing works on Shopify, including billing cycles, invoices, and free trials.

All BackupMaster billing runs through Shopify. You don't need a separate payment method — charges appear as a line item on your regular Shopify invoice with your other app charges. For more on how Shopify handles app charges, see [Shopify's documentation on app subscriptions](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/billing-charges/types-of-charges/third-party-charges/app-charges#subscriptions).

## Billing cycle

Your subscription runs on a **30-day cycle**. The cycle starts when your 7-day free trial ends. Every 30 days after that, Shopify charges for the next cycle automatically.

To view your charges, go to **Settings** > **Billing** in your Shopify admin and look for BackupMaster under **App charges**.

## Free trial

Every new installation starts with a **7-day free trial** that includes full access to your selected plan's features. Charges begin after the trial ends. If you uninstall BackupMaster before the trial ends, no charges apply.

## Change plans mid-cycle

You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Shopify prorates charges automatically. For details on how upgrades and downgrades are billed, see [Manage your subscription](/shopify/billing-and-plans/manage-your-subscription).

## Charges after uninstalling

Uninstalling BackupMaster cancels all future charges immediately. The current billing cycle still applies — charges already incurred aren't reversed. If you think a charge is incorrect, see [Refunds](/shopify/billing-and-plans/refunds).
