All figures without guarantee. Shopify can change prices at any time. As of: 7 Nov 2026. Official prices: [shopify.com/de/preise](https://www.shopify.com/de/preise). Shopify prices exclude VAT. Payment fees differ by country and card type. The own fees of an external payment provider are not included. Transaction fee = the share Shopify or the payment provider keeps per sale.

## Shopify itself is cheap – what gets expensive is a store that does not sell.

Have your store set up and ready with the Shopify Launch Bundle.

## What does Shopify cost? Plans, fees and hidden costs

Shopify has no setup fee, only a subscription per month. The three main plans are Basic (€29 per month, €22 billed yearly), Grow (€82 or €62) and Advanced (€384 or €289). Plus is for very large stores and starts at about €2,100 per month. All prices exclude VAT.

### Payment fees per sale

The subscription is only part of the cost. On every sale the payment provider keeps a share. This is called a transaction fee: the share Shopify or the payment provider keeps per sale. With Shopify Payments you pay about 1.5 to 1.7% plus €0.25 per card payment, depending on the plan. If you use an external provider such as PayPal, Shopify adds a surcharge on top of the provider’s own fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced.

### Hidden costs

Also count apps (for example for reviews, email marketing or SEO), your own domain, a premium theme as design template and a service for legally safe terms, imprint and privacy policy. Each amount looks small, together they often exceed the subscription itself.

### How to save

-   Pay yearly: on Basic and Grow you save about a quarter on the subscription.
-   Use Shopify Payments: then the surcharge on external payments does not apply.
-   Review your apps every quarter. Cancel what you do not use.
-   Compare plans as your revenue grows. The calculator shows when the next plan pays off.

The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Your inputs are not saved and not sent anywhere.
