How Much Does a Shopify Webstore Cost?

The basis for creating a Shopify webstore is choosing the right Shopify pricing plan. If you just want to try Shopify, you can do so completely free of charge. Once you register on the Shopify website, you will have a 14-day free no credit card required trial period. When you work together with a Shopify Partner this period can be be extended throughout the whole store setup process.

The prices of the plans usually vary a bit, but you can say that they are pretty much the same. Shopify’s packages are subscription-based plus a minimum % deducted from your sales (transaction fee). This generally applies to all subscription plans. In return, Shopify’s system is constantly upgraded, you don’t have to deal with hosting, security and backups and you get a full-fledged ecommerce system.

Shopify’s subscription plans are very well scaled, to run a small store you just need to subscribe to a basic plan nd when your store starts to get serious, you have the option to upgrade to a higher plan with more features, extra services and lower transaction fees.

Shopify STARTER Plan

Please read our detailed information about this plan on the page presenting Shopify Starter.

Basic Shopify Plan

The Basic Shopify ecommerce plan is, as the name suggests, the official Shopify basic package. Practically, Shopify webstore building starts from this package, as you can start your own Shopify webstore under your own domain. The Basic Shopify package does everything that Shopify Lite does, but you can also create a store and a blog in Shopify. The Basic Shopify ecommerce package allows you to upload an unlimited amount of products, register two staff accounts, free SSL registration, abandoned cart recovery and many other goodies.

Shopify Plan

The name of the unimaginative Shopify plan can be confusing, it’s basically the next package after Basic and the most popular. It has everything that the smaller Shopify ecommerce packages have, but you can now open up to 5 accounts, get lower transaction fees and access system analytics with detailed e-commerce data. The main difference between Shopify Basic and the Shopify plan is access to detailed statistics, which can be a very important and useful feature for anyone.

Advanced Shopify Plan

The next Shopify subscription package is called Advanced Shopify. In addition to a much higher monthly subscription fee than the smaller plans, Advanced Shopify allows up to 15 staff accounts to register for the Shopify store, further reduces transaction fees, and adds personalized reports and outsourced shipping calculator options. This subscription plan could be a good choice for online stores that move a lot of products and outsource this process to third parties, or need as much data as possible to analyze product types and generate reports.

Shopify Plus Plan

Enterprise e-commerce is the playground of top predators. Shopify Plus is the subscription package for the high rollers. Out of nearly 1,000,000 Shopify stores, only 5,300 stores have a Shopify Plus subscription. Shopify Plus subscribers get the best of everything. Exclusive training, fresh store technologies unavailable to standard subscribers, dedicated managers and top experts await Shopify Plus subscribers. There is no fixed price for this subscription package, it is on an individual negotiation basis.
