The Shopify Grow Plan is an ideal option for small businesses aiming to upgrade their online stores. It offers access to advanced features such as unlimited products, brand assets, discount codes, fraud analysis, and financial reports, thereby boosting sales and improving the customer experience. In this article, we\u2019ll walk you through the details of the Shopify Plan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Shopify Grow Plan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Shopify Grow Plan is one of the five main Shopify pricing plans<\/a> <\/strong>(among Shopify Starter, Shopify Basic, Shopify Advanced, and Shopify Plus). It sits in the middle of the lineup, positioned for established online stores that are scaling up but don’t yet need the heavy infrastructure of the Advanced or Plus plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at $105 per month<\/strong>, the Shopify Plan is recommended for experienced sellers with enhanced reports, ecommerce automation, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grow plan unlocks features that Basic doesn’t offer at all: Shopify Flow for automation, professional reports, and better credit card processing rates. For stores processing decent volume, the savings on transaction fees alone can justify the price difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does Grow Shopify Plan cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before committing to the Grow Shopify plan, you can opt-in to the Shopify Free Trial<\/strong><\/a> to explore its features. Additionally, after the trial, you can enjoy the Shopify plan for just $1 per month for next month<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monthly vs Annual Pricing <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Billing cycle<\/strong><\/td>Price per month<\/strong><\/td>Annual cost<\/strong><\/td>Savings<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Monthly<\/td>$105<\/td>$1,260\/year<\/td>\u2014<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Annual<\/td>$79<\/td>$948\/year<\/td>$312\/year (25% off)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shopify offers 25% off when you commit to annual billing. That brings the Grow plan from $105 down to $79 per month. You pay upfront for the year, so make sure you’re committed before locking in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing to note: if you’re currently on the Basic plan at $39\/month and considering the upgrade, the jump to $105\/month is a $66 difference. That’s meaningful for small stores. But the lower transaction fees on Grow can offset that gap quickly if you’re processing enough orders. More on that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grow Plan transaction fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Shopify Plan transaction fees can be lower for merchants who use Shopify Payments. Learn more about Shopify Payments here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transaction fees with Shopify Payments<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the Grow plan, you will only charge 2.6% + 30\u00a2 per transaction without additional fees from your payment gateway providers. Additionally, the 2% transaction fee on each sale is waived if you use Shopify Payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transaction fees without Shopify Payments (use a third-party payment gateway)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Using a third-party payment gateway provider instead of Shopify Payments will incur transaction fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, you still have to pay any transaction fees your gateway provider charges. An additional 1% fee applies to transactions made with credit cards issued outside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hidden Costs You Should Know<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The $105\/month subscription gets you in the door. Here’s what you’ll likely spend on top of it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Apps:<\/strong> The average Shopify store uses about six apps. Monthly app costs typically range from $50 to $200 for a mid-size store, though it can go much higher. Some essentials like email marketing, reviews, and loyalty programs each add $10 to $50\/month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Themes:<\/strong> Shopify provides 12 free themes. Premium themes from the Shopify Theme Store cost between $150 and $380 as a one-time purchase. Most growing stores eventually invest in a premium theme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Domain:<\/strong> A custom domain costs $10 to $20 per year through registrars like Namecheap, Porkbun, or Cloudflare. Shopify also sells domains directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shopify Email<\/strong>: The built-in Shopify Email app is free for the first 10,000 emails per month. After that, it’s $1 per 1,000 additional emails. For most Grow plan stores, the free tier is enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • POS Pro: <\/strong>The Grow plan includes Shopify POS Lite for free, but if you run a physical retail location, POS Pro costs $89\/month per location. That adds up fast with multiple stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Real-World Total Cost Calculation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Let’s say you run an online store doing $10,000 per month in revenue, using Shopify Payments, with a small team of two people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cost<\/strong><\/td>Monthly<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    Grow plan (annual billing)<\/td>$79<\/td><\/tr>
    Apps (SEO, reviews, email marketing)<\/td>$80<\/td><\/tr>
    Premium theme (amortized)<\/td>$5<\/td><\/tr>
    Domain (amortized)<\/td>$1.25<\/td><\/tr>
    Shopify Email (under 10K emails)<\/td>$0<\/td><\/tr>
    Google Workspace (two users)<\/td>$15.60<\/td><\/tr>
    Total estimated monthly cost<\/strong><\/td>~$181<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Add credit card processing fees (roughly 2.6% to 2.9% + 30\u00a2 per transaction with Shopify Payments), and on $10,000 in sales, you’re looking at another ~$290 in processing fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Real total: roughly $471\/month<\/strong> to run a Grow plan store doing $10K in monthly revenue. That’s about 4.7% of revenue going to platform and processing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For context, most e-commerce businesses budget 3% to 5% of revenue for platform costs. The Grow plan sits at the higher end of that range for stores at $10K volume, but the percentage drops as your revenue grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tips: How to check Shopify Pricing for your store location<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Shopify has different prices and transaction fees for different countries and regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to sell to a specific country, it is recommended to locate your Shopify store there. However, make sure you check Shopify pricing for that country first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
