How to Update Your Billing Period on Shopify

The length of this period can be increased, however, you can not customize the specific day of the month to receive the bill on. As the default, the length of a billing cycle is set as 30 days. On the last day of a cycle, a bill will be issued, containing the information of the price you are charged, according to your Shopify plan.
