Read on Shopify’s own pages on 7 October 2026. Where the live page showed us another country’s version, we read archive.org’s copy of the official page, dated in the table. Fees change; check the platform before you sell.

Every change we record is on the fee changes page. How we work each fee out: how we calculate.

What does Shopify cost?

Two things: the plan, paid every month, and a card fee on every payment. In the US the plans are Basic ($39 a month), Grow ($105) and Advanced ($399), less if you pay yearly. Online card payments cost 2.9%, 2.7% or 2.5% + 30¢ on those plans. In the UK the plans are £25, £65 and £344 a month, with online UK card payments at 2%, 1.7% and 1.5% + 25p.

Which Shopify plan is cheaper for me?

A dearer plan pays for itself when the lower card rate saves more than the extra monthly price. In the US, billed monthly, Grow beats Basic from about $33,000.00 of online card sales a month, and Advanced beats Grow from about $147,000.00. At $10,000 a month across 200 orders, Basic is cheapest at $389.00 in all. In the UK, at £10,000 a month, Basic is cheapest at £275.00. Use the plan comparison above with your own sales.

What if I use another payment provider?

Shopify then charges its own fee on each order: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced. Your provider’s fee comes on top, so using Shopify Payments is usually cheaper.

Shopify fee questions

How much does Shopify take per sale?

On Basic with Shopify Payments, 2.9% + 30¢ for an online US card: $3.20 on a $100 order. The monthly plan is extra.

Does Shopify charge transaction fees?

Only if you use another payment provider: 2% on Basic, down to 0.6% on Advanced. With Shopify Payments you pay the card rate instead.

Is it cheaper to pay for Shopify yearly?

Yes. Basic is $29 a month billed yearly instead of $39; in the UK £19 instead of £25.

When should I move from Basic to Grow?

When your online card sales pass about $33,000.00 a month (US, billed monthly) or $25,000.00 (billed yearly). Below that, Basic costs less.

What about Shopify Plus?

Plus starts at $2,300 a month in the US and £1,800 in the UK, with prices set case by case, so it is not in the comparison.

Where do the US figures come from?

From Shopify’s own US pricing page. Its live page showed us prices in another currency, so we read archive.org’s copy of the US page and say so in the table.
