Saves $94 / month vs Basic

Annual fees on cheapest plan

$30,420

What's missing: app subscriptions, theme cost, domain, transaction-level chargebacks. These don't change by plan so they're omitted from the comparison. Shopify Plus pricing is $2,300/mo on the listed plan but is variable-rate above that — use $2,300 as a floor.

About this tool

Shopify's three core plans each have different monthly fees, transaction fees and payment processing rates, and the maths changes again if you use a third-party gateway. This tool runs your monthly revenue through every plan so you can see your real take-home and pick the cheapest plan for your size.

When to upgrade plans

Each plan tier lowers your per-transaction rate by 0.2–0.4 percentage points. The crossover where the higher plan beats the lower one is usually around the monthly revenue range where the extra fixed plan fee equals the saved processing fees. Run your real revenue through every plan to see your true break-even.

Third-party gateway penalty

Shopify adds an additional fee on top of your gateway's fee when you don't use Shopify Payments — 2% on Basic, 1% on Shopify, 0.5% on Advanced, 0.15% on Plus. At any meaningful volume, this fee usually eclipses any savings from a cheaper gateway. Unless you can't use Shopify Payments (regulatory, country, currency reasons), it's almost always the right default.
