A Shopify user was charged 3250 INR after being shown a 20 INR/month promotional price. Deceptive subscription pricing and unexpected post-trial billing are structural problems in SaaS platforms, particularly impactful in price-sensitive markets where users lack easy dispute or refund mechanisms.
Third-Party App Deactivates Merchant Account While Still Charging Card
A merchant had a third-party app deactivate their account without explanation, yet the app continued billing their card afterward. This points to a lack of accountability and recourse when marketplace apps cut off service but keep charging.
