Starter
A Starter Plan is the most suitable if you are working alone to start your own business. Usually, you will need to pay $5 per month, however, now you only need to pay $1 for the first three months of the Shopify Pricing offer.
In this plan, you only get shareable product pages in features and have to pay 5% transaction fees for all payment providers. A disadvantage of this plan is that it does not include things that are available on other plans:
- Online Store where you can create an e-commerce website, publish a blog, and sell your products.
- Shopify POS Lite accepts casual, in-person payments at markets, fairs, pop-ups, and more.
- Can upgrade to POS Pro, which means you can run a brick-and-mortar business.
Basic
The basic Package is the most popular and most suitable for an individual or 2 members if you are collaborating with someone else. In this package, you need to pay $25 per month or $228 per year ($19/month). However, after the free-trial days, Shopify offers you to try a plan for $1 in the next three months.
With the Basic Plan, you will pay fewer transaction fees for all payment providers than with the Starter Plan by a lot – 2%. Starting with the Basic Plan, you can also receive reports from Shopify, however, it is just a basic report, including an analytics page, finance reports, live view, acquisition reports, inventory reports, behaviour reports, marketing reports, and product analytics.

If you want to level up your business with professional reporting and more staff accounts for a medium size team – up to 5 staff members, this is the most suitable plan for you!
Another more advanced feature than the Basic Plan you can get in the Shopify Plan is professional reports. In professional reports, you will get an analytics page, a finances report (including taxes and payments), product analytics, a live view, acquisition reports, inventory reports, behaviour reports, marketing reports, order reports, sales reports, retail sales reports, profit reports, and customer reports.
With this plan, you need to pay $65 per month or $588 per year ($49/month), and the transaction fees for all payment providers will be 1%.
Advanced
The Advance Plan costs $399 per month, or you can pay a yearly fee of $3,588, which means $299/month. The highest price plan is also the best of Shopify, with advanced features, and the lowest transaction fee is 0.5%.
By choosing the Advanced Plan, you can use this plan for a medium or large team that can have up to 15 staff members who have access accounts. This plan is suitable for an international business because there is a lot of support from Shopify, like international pricing, duties, and import taxes.
