# What does Shopify cost?

**In short:** Shopify costs more than the subscription. Add payment fees per sale, apps, a domain, often a theme and legal texts. The Shopify cost calculator shows exact plans and fees, price date 7 Nov 2026.

Last updated: 2026-11-07

## The four cost blocks

-   Subscription: the plan (Basic, Grow, Advanced), monthly or yearly.
-   Payment fees: a share per sale, depending on plan and payment method.
-   Apps: add-ons for reviews, email, SEO and more.
-   One-time: domain, theme (design template), legal texts.

## Why the payment mix matters

With Shopify Payments you only pay the card fee. If you use PayPal or an external provider, Shopify adds a surcharge plus the provider’s own fee. The more revenue runs through external providers, the more expensive the Basic plan becomes.

## How to save

-   Pay yearly where the plan offers it.
-   Make Shopify Payments your main payment method.
-   Review apps every quarter and cancel unused ones.
-   Compare plans as your revenue grows.
