How to Check If a Shopify App Is on a Free Trial | How to Check the Trial End Date

When running a Shopify store, taking advantage of the free trial periods offered by many apps lets you find the Shopify app that best fits your store's needs. However, if you don't keep track of when the free trial ends, you may end up being charged unexpectedly. This article explains in detail how to check whether a Shopify app is currently on a free trial, and how to check the trial end date.

The blog article below covers the free trial for the Shopify plan itself, rather than for Shopify apps. Please use it as a reference.

[2026 Update] Everything About the Shopify Free Trial | What to Try During Your 3-Day Free Trial Period
When getting started with Shopify, one of the things many people wonder about is the free trial period. This article clearly explains everything you need to know about Shopify's free trial, including whether a trial is available and what to try during it.
 

How to Check If a Shopify App Is Currently on a Free Trial

From the Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels, and check whether the app in question shows a "Free trial" label.

If "Free trial" is displayed, the app is currently still in its free trial period. If you uninstall the app at this point, you will not be charged for it.

How to Check the Trial End Date for a Shopify App

From the Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels, and click the Shopify app that has the "Free trial" label. The app's detail page shows the next billing date under "Billing," so the day before that billing date is the trial end date.

How to Check Whether a Shopify App Offers a Free Trial

Go to the app's page in the Shopify App Store. If the pricing section states "X-day free trial," the app offers a free trial.

If there is no such statement, it's possible the app developer simply hasn't entered this information, so it may be a good idea to contact the developer directly to confirm.

In Conclusion

To make the most of a Shopify app's free trial, managing the trial period is essential. Through the Shopify admin, you can check whether an app is currently on a free trial and find out its trial end date. This helps you avoid unnecessary charges and gives you enough time to choose the best app for your store. Be sure to use these methods to run your Shopify store more effectively.
