Costs · Margins · The business of ecommerce
What things really cost and what they return — broken down line by line, with sources.
Four plans, two billing modes, a third-party payment surcharge that quietly quadruples between tiers — the full price sheet, read line by line from Shopify's own page.
We pulled the published plan prices of ten of the most-installed Shopify apps. A modest four-app stack runs about $88 a month — more per year than three mid-range paid themes.
Every published price on one page: plans, domain, theme, apps and processing — assembled into three realistic budgets, from a $40-a-month lean start to a serious launch.
