Shopify Plus Pricing (Card Rates, Platform...

Need some Shopify Plus in your life? 

Shoot!

You just might with your eCommerce business.

I have an awesomely detailed post about all the Shopify Pricing Plans

But:

I thought it would be fun to run through Shopify Plus Pricing costs really quickly.

After all, a ton of people search for it for a reason.

Shopify Plus Pricing Summary

Free Trial Yes, if you just want to try Shopify and get a feel of some features.
Shopify Plus Starting Plan Cost $2,300K monthly
Cost To Migrate To Shopify Plus Seeing around $5K
Are There Transaction Fees? Yes

The Shopify Plus Fee To Use This Platform

Minimum costs are going to run you $2,000 monthly.

Shopify really looks at this model based on usage.

Most merchandise is probably going to fall into this category when they start.

But:

If you’re optimistic like me it’s only where you’re going to start.

After you hit over $800,000K per month, Shopify will make it a revenue-based model.

Then it’s going to be .25% of the monthly revenue you bring in.

To recap on this.

It’s either .25% or 2K monthly.

Cost To Build Out A Website With Shopify Plus

Shopify Plus does allow you to use the pre-made themes like any other plan.

So, the cost of your store could be zero.

But let’s say you are going to use a web design team or agency to build it out and really focus on your brand.

Some key things that could go into it.

  • The web design team used or agency
  • Number of products
  • The country you are in and the storefronts you have
  • Integrations needed

Taking all this into consideration, you would look at an estimated amount of $20K – $275K if you hire it out.

You can also do it yourself with everything they offer.


How about the Shopify Plus Credit Card Transaction Fees?

Oh my gosh, I’m glad you asked 😉

So a pretty quick rundown of this for Shopify Plus.

  • Visa And Mastercard fees for U.S. customers will be 2.15% + $.30 per transaction
  • U.S. customers’ credit card fees for Amex are 3.15% + $.30 per transaction.
  • Internation customers’ credit card fees are 3.15% + $.30 per transaction.

One thing you can keep in mind is that Shopify Plus integrates with 70 payment gateways.

Each of these has different rates and may have some negotiation room too.

Just keep in mind Shopify will charge .15% for not using them.

Shopify Plus App Fees

Cost:  $150 – $1,100 + per month

Obviously, this one is tough to factor in because it’s going to matter what you want and need.

One plus is there are free ones to choose from too.

But at the end of the day if these apps assist you in increasing your revenue who really cares right?

If I measure it and realize spending $10 a month on a conversion tool increases my sales by 5% well that might be HUGE.


Maintenance Fees

One nice thing about Shopify Plus with a hosted platform is that a majority of costs such as hosting, security upgrades, and patches.

So this will really help keep fees down and help out your bottom line.

Is There Any Room For Negotiation?

No, there isn’t.

In the earlier years, Shopify Plus had the ability to negotiate a little.

Now, if you really start growing your store they might have a little wiggle room when it comes to their credit card rates.

But just consider the actual platform a solid price overall.

Costs To Migrate Shopify 

Obviously, some will just be getting started so they won’t have to worry about that.

But, let’s say you do have to migrate from another platform.

From what I was told by Shopify 

the cost would depend on the complexity of the migration.

In all fairness I get it.

They personally have a rule of thumb of 90 days to be up and running.

I did see one quote for around $5K too.

So, when it comes to migration fees I personally would shop around for 3-5

And am well looking to do it myself if possible.

Some of the most common data being transferred would be

  • Order data
  • Product data
  • Customer data

Just to name a few 🙂

Shopify POS Pro For Shopify Plus Pricing

Shopify Pos System Pricing

In my opinion, one really low-key feature is what you get with Shopify Plus in the POS world.

The fact you have key things such as

  • Supports up to 1,000 locations with Shopify Payments
  • Staff and management tools
  • Retail and reporting and inventory

Overall it’s nice to realize this and know the value added to the Shopify Plus pricing plan

Is there anybody to help me set it up?

Shopify Pricing Plans


Shopify Plus Pricing FAQ

What is the starting price for Shopify Plus monthly subscription?

Shopify Plus starts at $2,300 per month for standard setups on a 3-year term, or $2,500 per month for a 1-year term. This base pricing covers most merchants and includes advanced features for high-volume businesses.

How much does Shopify Plus cost for high revenue stores?

If you make over $800,000 per month, you will pay a percentage of this revenue instead of the flat monthly fee. More complex, higher volume businesses switch to a variable platform fee based on their revenue and business model.

Are there additional Shopify Plus transaction fees when using third party payment processors?

The commission amounts to 0.20% (Shopify Plus) or 0.60% (Shopify Advanced) per transaction – in addition to the transaction fees charged by the external payment provider. However, using Shopify Payments eliminates this extra fee.

What Shopify Plus payment processing fees apply when using Shopify Payments?

When you use Shopify Payments with Shopify Plus, the 0.20% commission is waived. You aren’t charged third-party transaction fees for orders that are processed through Shopify Payments, Shop Pay, Shop Pay Installments, or Paypal Express Checkout.

Does Shopify Plus pricing include setup and onboarding costs?

The Shopify Plus plan starts at $2,300 a month for standard setups and integrations, which typically includes basic setup assistance. However, complex customizations or extensive integrations may require additional development costs beyond the base subscription.

How does Shopify Plus pricing work for B2B transactions?

For businesses using Shopify Plus for their B2B operations, there is a transaction fee of 0.18% on B2B transactions. This fee supports the additional features and tools specifically designed for business-to-business commerce functionality.

Can I get a discount on Shopify Plus pricing with longer term commitments?

Yes, Shopify Plus starts at $2,300 a month for standard setups and integrations on a 3-year term, or $2,500 per month for a 1-year term. The longer three-year commitment saves you $200 per month compared to the one-year option.

What happens to Shopify Plus pricing when my revenue exceeds the threshold?

Once your store makes over $800,000 monthly revenue (and is, thus, considered a much higher-volume business), you transition from the flat monthly fee to a variable percentage-based pricing model that scales with your revenue.

Are there hidden costs beyond the base Shopify Plus pricing?

The cost of Shopify Plus in 2024 involves a blend of fixed monthly fees, variable revenue-based fees for high-earning stores, and potential additional costs related to customization, apps, and third-party services. Apps, themes, and custom development are typical additional expenses.

How does Shopify Plus pricing compare to regular Shopify plans for enterprise businesses?

Shopify Plus pricing starts significantly higher than regular Shopify plans, but provides enterprise-level features, dedicated support, and scalability that standard plans cannot offer. The investment makes sense for businesses doing substantial monthly revenue or requiring advanced customization capabilities.

What payment methods are included in Shopify Plus pricing without extra fees?

When you use Shopify Payments, you aren’t charged third-party transaction fees for orders that are processed through Shopify Payments, Shop Pay, Shop Pay Installments, or Paypal Express Checkout, and you aren’t charged transaction fees on manual payment methods such as cash, cash on delivery.

Is Shopify Plus pricing negotiable for large enterprise accounts?

While standard Shopify Plus pricing is fixed, large enterprise accounts with significant revenue may have opportunities to discuss custom pricing arrangements. The variable fee structure for high-revenue stores already provides some flexibility based on business size and complexity.

What support is included in Shopify Plus pricing?

Shopify Plus pricing includes priority support, dedicated account management, and access to Shopify Plus-specific resources. This premium support level is designed to help enterprise businesses maximize their platform investment and resolve issues quickly.
