Shopify’s pricing can be confusing when you’re starting out. Here’s a straightforward breakdown of what you’ll actually pay.
The Basic plan is £25 per month. This gives you everything you need to run an online store—unlimited products, 24/7 support, and all the core features. For most small businesses, this is the right starting point.
The Shopify plan is £65 per month. The main additions are better reporting, more staff accounts, and lower transaction fees. Worth considering once you’re doing consistent sales.
The Advanced plan is £344 per month. This is for larger operations needing advanced reporting, calculated shipping rates, and the lowest transaction fees.
But the monthly subscription isn’t your only cost. You’ll also pay transaction fees on each sale unless you use Shopify Payments. There’s the cost of a custom domain. You might want a premium theme or specific apps that have their own charges.
And if you want custom development—bespoke features that standard themes don’t offer—that’s an additional investment. This is where agencies like us come in, building functionality tailored to your specific business needs.
Budget for the full picture, not just the headline subscription price.
