How it works
What the numbers are based on.
- Plans: Basic $29, Grow $79, Advanced $299 per month on yearly billing ($39, $105, $399 monthly). Plus starts at $2,300 per month on a 3-year term.
- Online card rates with Shopify Payments (US): 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Grow, 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced, from 2.25% + 30¢ on Plus. International cards add 1%.
- Another payment provider: your provider's fee plus Shopify's fee of 2%, 1%, 0.6% or 0.2% depending on plan.
- Domain and email: about $15 a year for a domain and $8 per email account per month.
- Build ranges: typical market ranges from our Shopify cost guide, not our prices.
Rates as of October 2026, from Shopify's pricing page. Rates differ by country, and some cards cost more. This is an estimate, not financial advice.
FAQ
About the calculator.
How accurate is this calculator?
It uses Shopify's published US rates for plans and online card payments, plus typical market ranges for apps and professional builds. Your real cost depends on your country, card mix, apps and the scope of your build, so treat it as a planning estimate.
Why do payment fees matter more than the plan?
Plans are a fixed monthly cost, but payment fees grow with every sale. Once you sell a few thousand dollars a month, the difference in card rates between plans can outweigh the difference in plan price.
What if I use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments?
Shopify adds its own fee on top of your provider's fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus. Choose 'Another provider' in the calculator to include it.
Are these your prices?
No. The build ranges are market ranges for freelancers, studios and agencies, not our quote. We price each project after a short discovery call.
