First of all, it is worth remembering that Shopify is a scalable service , so, as your business grows, you can improve the plan you have contracted. This way you will ensure that the investment in your online store is always proportional to the benefits it yields.

In addition to the three plans that Shopify offers, we are also going to talk to you about the Shopify Lite plan, focused on commerce through Facebook, and ShopifyPlus, which is a business-level solution for high sales volumes.

Basic Shopify Plan $29/month

Without a doubt, this is the best plan to start your journey in the world of online stores if you do not have previous experience. All Shopify plans have their own online store and also include a blog where you can report on the latest news about your business or any other aspect that you consider relevant to your clients. You have two employee accounts and can upload products without limit. It has support 365 days a year , you can sell in online markets and on social networks, manually create orders, you can generate discount codes and it also has the interesting abandoned cart recovery tool. Additionally, like the rest of Shopify's plans, it includes Shopify Payments with analysis to detect fraud and a credit card usage fee for online sales of 2.4% + €0.25. Finally, an additional 2% fee applies for using any payment provider other than Shopify Payments.

Shopify Plan $79/month

If your online store has already established itself in the market and you consider that you must lay the foundations to continue with that growth, it is recommended that you join the Shopify Plan. Logically, this plan incorporates all the features of the previous plan and also implements important improvements to guarantee the development and expansion of your online store. Shopify is aware that you may have had to add new staff to your team, which is why it offers you the possibility of having up to five employee accounts, which will help spread the workload. In addition, you can also create gift cards and you will have access to professional reports, which will be very useful when it comes to knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your business. For its part, the fees for the use of credit cards for online sales are 2.1% + €0.25 and the additional charges for the use of any payment provider other than Shopify Payments are 1%.

Advanced Shopify Plan $299/month

This plan is suitable for those online stores that are already established and have grown considerably . The previous plan already falls short and, for different reasons, it is necessary to access higher services. In this plan you can have up to fifteen people on staff, all with their employee accounts. This is, without a doubt, the most important asset of this plan, which denotes that the online store already has a considerable size. To all the options of the previous plans, we must add that advanced reports can be generated from which very valuable data can be extracted and that the price of shipments from suppliers external to Shopify can also be calculated. The application shows the rates calculated with your own account or with external apps on the payment screen. The fees for the use of credit cards for online sales are 1.8% + €0.25 and the additional charges for the use of any payment provider other than Shopify Payments is 0.5%, which greatly favors the transaction, eliminating almost all barriers.

In parallel to these three Shopify plans, the Canadian company offers two other plans with a very specific objective: Shopify Lite and ShopifyPlus.

Shopify Lite $9/month

This application is designed to sell your products through Facebook or other platforms such as WordPress . With a tremendously tight cost, you can grow your business exponentially by incorporating a “Buy” button to your products, to which you can also add a code snippet to show more details about the item. If what you want is to sell only through Facebook, Shopify Lite is a tremendously interesting option, since it is very easy to publish all your products in the store section of your page on this social network. As for commissions, you don't have to worry, as long as you use the Shopify Payments payment tool. Additionally, you can provide customer support through Facebook chat and via email.

ShopifyPlus (around $2,000/month)

Unlike all previous plans, this option is not designed for SMEs, but for large companies that want to sell their products over the Internet. Obviously, this option incorporates each and every one of the features of the previous plans and also includes advanced support from Shopify and many other specific options that will increase the potential of your business. The price is negotiable, as it adapts to the needs of the online store , but is usually around $2,000 per month. If you have an extremely high sales volume, if you want to automate workflows, if you have specific security requirements and if you have a large budget, this plan is undoubtedly for you.
