Which Shopify plan is cheapest?

On Shopify, a higher plan costs more each month but charges lower card rates. Above a certain level of sales, the saving on fees pays for the higher plan. The calculator works out the total monthly cost of each plan and highlights the lowest.

How it's calculated

With Shopify Payments: plan price + sales × card rate + orders × fixed fee
With another provider: plan price + sales × Shopify transaction fee + your provider's fees
Break-even: difference in plan price ÷ difference in rate

For full plan details, read our guide to Shopify pricing in 2026. To see your total budget including theme, apps and domain, use the Shopify store cost calculator, and for profit per order, the Shopify profit calculator.

When should I upgrade from Basic to Grow?

When the lower card rate on Grow saves more than the difference in plan price. The calculator works out that break-even point from your own sales, order count and payment method.

Does it matter if I use Shopify Payments?

Yes. With Shopify Payments you pay the plan's card rate and no extra transaction fee. With another provider, Shopify adds a transaction fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced, on top of your provider's own fees.

Are international cards included?

No. The calculator uses the standard online rate. International and some premium cards cost more, so if a large share of your customers pay with them your fees will be higher.

What about Shopify Plus?

Plus starts at $2,300 a month in the US and is usually priced individually, so it is not part of this comparison.
