Shopify Pricing Strategy

Shopify

How much does Shopify cost?

Shopify offers user-friendly pricing with plans like Starter, Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Shopify Plus, tailored to e-commerce businesses of all sizes.
‍‍
Users can save 25% on annual subscriptions for Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans. Shopify offers a free 3-day trial and, starting November 2024, new merchants can use the platform for $1/month for the first three months. Afterward, standard plan rates apply. Transaction fees vary by plan and payment method.

Shopify's flexible pricing lets businesses switch plans as they grow, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.

Which Plan Should I Choose? Shopify Monthly Fee Calculator

To determine the best Shopify plan and calculate monthly costs, you’ll need the following inputs:

  • Average Order Value (AOV) $100
  • Number of Monthly Orders 100
  • Monthly Revenue $10 000

Example Calculation:

$10000

$36

Basic Shopify Advanced
AOV: $10000 $10000 $10000
Number of Orders: 100 100 100
Monthly Revenue: 100 100 100
Transaction Fee: 2% 1% 0,5%
Shopify Monthly Fee: $29 $79 $299
Shopify Fees Total: $229 $179 $349

This example applies to a business that does not use Shopify Payments, meaning third-party payment provider fees significantly affect costs. Using this calculation model, businesses can analyze their monthly revenue (actual or projected) to determine which Shopify plan offers the best value for their needs.

For businesses with higher revenue or frequent transactions, upgrading to plans with lower transaction fees (e.g., Shopify or Advanced) or utilizing Shopify Payments can result in cost savings.
