Shopify plans and fees in 2026
Shopify charges a monthly plan price and, through Shopify Payments, a card rate per transaction that falls on higher plans; stores using another payment provider pay a Shopify transaction fee instead.[1]
| Basic | Grow | Advanced | Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly billing | $39 | $105 | $399 | from $2,300 |
| Yearly billing, per month | $29 | $79 | $299 | — |
| Online cards | 2.9% + 30¢ | 2.7% + 30¢ | 2.5% + 30¢ | 2.25% + 30¢ |
| Online premium cards | 3.5% + 30¢ | 3.3% + 30¢ | 3.1% + 30¢ | 2.95% + 30¢ |
| International cards | +1% | +1% | +1% | +1% |
| In-person cards | 2.6% + 10¢ | 2.5% + 10¢ | 2.4% + 10¢ | 2.3% + 10¢ |
| Third-party transaction fee | 2% | 1% | 0.6% | 0.2% |
For yearly billing, some U.S. visitors to Shopify's pricing page have been shown $89 for Grow and $359 for Advanced since mid-October 2026, instead of $79 and $299; check the price you are offered. The Starter plan is no longer available to new stores. Currency conversion on sales in another currency costs 1.5% for U.S. stores.[3]
When does upgrading pay off?
A higher plan pays for itself once the lower card rate saves more than the higher subscription costs: on monthly billing, Grow beats Basic above about $33,000 of online card sales a month, and Advanced beats Grow above about $147,000.
| Online sales | Basic | Grow | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $214 | $270 | $554 |
| $20,000 | $739 | $765 | $1,019 |
| $50,000 | $1,789 | $1,755 | $1,949 |
| $150,000 | $5,289 | $5,055 | $5,049 |
Yearly billing narrows the price gap between plans, which lowers these break-even points. Premium and international cards cost more on every plan, so a store with many of them gains a little more from upgrading.
Shopify Payments vs a third-party gateway
With a third-party payment provider you pay that provider's card fees and also Shopify's transaction fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus. For stores created on or after May 12, 2025, that fee also applies to orders paid with store credit or gift cards.[2] On Basic, a provider charging 2.9% + 30¢ therefore costs 4.9% + 30¢ in total. Compare provider rates with the Stripe fee calculator and the PayPal fee calculator.
Shopify fees vs marketplace fees
A Shopify store has no per-sale commission, so its total fee is usually below a marketplace's once sales are steady; but you pay for your own traffic. Put your Shopify effective rate into the profit calculator as the fee percentage, or compare it with the Etsy fee calculator for the same product.
