Why Shopify's real cost is higher than the plan price
Shopify's base plan prices ($39–$399/mo) are just the starting point. Most merchants end up paying significantly more once you factor in:
- Transaction fees — 0.5%–2% on every sale on top of payment processing, unless you use Shopify Payments in an eligible country.
- Stripe/payment processing fees — 1.6% + $0.30 per transaction, regardless of plan.
- Apps — Email marketing, reviews, upsells, loyalty programs, advanced analytics — most require paid apps averaging $30–$100/mo.
Your Next Store builds the most essential features in directly — no app store required — and has lower base transaction fees at higher volumes.
