Shopify offers several plans with different monthly fees, features and transaction rates. Prices change, so check Shopify’s India pricing page for current figures.
What differs between plans
- Monthly or yearly subscription fee.
- Number of staff accounts.
- Reporting features.
- Transaction fees when using third-party payment gateways.
- Shipping and international selling features.
Costs beyond the plan
- Payment gateway fees.
- Paid apps (often the biggest surprise).
- Paid theme (one-time).
- Domain.
- Shipping costs.
Which plan to start with
Most new stores start on the entry plan and upgrade when revenue and needs grow. Upgrading is easy.
When to upgrade
- You need more staff accounts.
- Lower transaction fees on a higher plan would save more than the price difference.
- You need advanced reports or features.
Yearly billing
Paying yearly is usually cheaper per month than monthly billing.
