and dive right into Shopify pricing so how much does Shopify cost and what does it cost you to get started with your online store on Shopify now these prices are accurate as of the time of recording this video of course these are subject to change but the pricing plans you know the different options that you have I'm sure going to be consistent and let's go ahead and Dive Right In so of course just want to mention as well you can set up your store and pick a plan later if if you are you know still thinking about things not sure exactly what you want to do you can do the 14 day free trial and figure out what type of plan you want to pick later but of course you're watching this video you want the detailed pricing plan comparisons and that's what we're diving into right now so as you can see here we have the Shopify monthly plan so at the first plan we have the basic their most popular plan and that is Shopify basic at 29 US dollars per month and that gets you really everything that you need for a Shopify store as you can see here you know you can ship products process payments do everything you want as far as building out an entire online store for your eCommerce business and start selling physical products online or just whatever kind of products you want to sell online Shopify is just a great option and that is the basic plan at 29 a month we'll be diving into some of the other specifics as well as far as like comparing the actual uh you know plan features in just a moment moment but I wanted to also mention the other plan options that you have just from the get you also have the Shopify plan that's their mid-level plan at 79 US dollars per month and then you also have the advanced plan at 299 dollars per month now if you are a beginner just getting started basic is probably the best for you I'm going to be going through you know what which plan is probably best for each type of person watching today's video so you can get an idea and feel for well what what option may be best for you if you're kind of stuck and not sure now another thing uh before we dive into other specifics you can save money doing the annual plan as well they do offer a yearly uh annual plan at the moment and that is a great way to save money if you're going to be committing to building your online store with Shopify definitely makes sense if to save money on that yearly annual plan I mean that is a huge cost Savings in the long run uh and you know you're committing to it it makes a ton a ton of sense if you are going to be doing this for the long run anyway and you want to save money that is just an excellent way to do to do so um definitely makes it very cost effective in the long run and a great savings plan that they offer on the yearly annual plans uh as well and that's really hard to beat you know when you compare Shopify to other e-commerce platforms out there not that many offer as much features at that price point um just in the overall Marketplace as a whole so definitely something to consider as well um and then they do also have two other uh smaller plans while smaller and much larger plans uh just we're going to be going into specifics like I said a little bit later in this video they also have alternative plans such as the starter plan at five US dollars per month where you can sell products to do social and messaging apps like I said we'll dive into the details in a little bit and then they also have Shopify plus which I have covered on the channel before as far as specific pricing but it starts at 2000 USD per month so that's really for Enterprise level uh high volume businesses you know the really massive Brands and big companies uh of course uh as well and it's important to mention here read the fine print of course on the the yearly savings there um you know so as far as any you know discounts and Deals um but it is great obviously you know that discounts for the first year uh which is still great uh great as a cost savings there but yeah so Shopify plus you know unless you're a massive brand you're probably not looking at that that's probably way above most people's price ranges for the average person watching this video or looking for uh just to get set up with Shopify maybe you're a beginner you're starting your first store the starter plan is a great option for that just because it at least allows you to sell products through social media uh and at least you then own that channel you get the customer emails and all the information and all the data behind that too and the analytics so we'll be diving into the specifics uh right now so looking at obviously basic Shopify in advance those are the main most popular plans of course the basic does get you an online store um so let's go ahead and compare the features so as you can see here uh with a basic plan you do get an online store so that is the differentiator there between um the starter plan is just to sell products through social and messaging apps so you don't actually get like a full online store um you do get the back end of Shopify but not like you don't get like a whole website in place to send people to and like a whole like visual website and storefront uh an online store so that's something to consider there on the basic you do have of course unlimited products which is really nice they don't limit you on the products you can do as many as you want which is awesome uh you have two staff accounts so the biggest difference really um one of the biggest differences between the basic Shopify and advances just the number of Staff accounts I mean you got go from two to five to Fifteen so if you've got a big team maybe you have customer support staff already uh then yeah that's something that you're going to want to take into account most beginners people getting just getting started with Shopify probably staff accounts does not matter to to you at all it's probably just you running the business anyway but gotta mention it and of course you have support and I have personally dealt with the Shopify support team they are excellent really great at handling everything you can call them up and they are excellent at handling any type of problem that you throw at them um you know I've personally use Shopify for a long time and they are really a great platform uh to use of course then you also have the sales channel so you like I said you could sell through social media and other online marketplaces they offer that on on all those other plans as far as inventory locations tracking orders and products uh to different retail stores warehouses or pop-ups this would be like if you had a point of sale system and you had a separate inventory uh warehousing then you know up to four up to five and up to eight as follows uh manual order creation so you can create manual orders discount codes free SSL certificate abandoned cart recovery um gift cards reports So based sick reports you know basic reports are pretty nice if you need something more bigger than that bigger than the basic reports then of course standard and advanced are as follows third party calculated shipping rates so if you have that then you know unfortunately you'd have to jump to the advanced plan at least if you need that there may be a Shopify app that you could use to kind of bypass that in some way depending on your personal Shopify setup that could be an option for you customer segmentation right filtering different customers and groups marketing automation so building out like in email Integrations and all that contacts um you know collecting customer data super super nice as far as e-commerce automations and workflows that's another thing you would have to jump up into the Shopify or Advanced plan if you're looking for uh more powerful automation tools once again some of the Shopify apps could extend your ability to do some of those things through third-party apps that you could install in your Shopify store um so there is that option there as far as shipping so you've got shipping discounts uh and then you have shipping labels uh as well uh so of course that's pretty essential if you're shipping out products uh depending on pricing uh including extra shipping pricing right there then you would have to go to Shopify in advance for that as well that's one of the other aspects Shopify payments really great payment Gateway I mentioned Shopify payments many times on the channel before as far as best payment gateways and all that Shopify payments is great to use and works really really well uh as you can see here if you're doing higher volume you know realistically that's where you're gonna save the money on higher volumes because each of those little percents or fees do add up um when you're doing big sales volumes so that is really probably the biggest difference between the plans like if you're looking in comparing them you can run the numbers yourself see how much savings it would be worth it when you're saving money on the payment processing fees then that you can figure out the numbers and and calculate whether or not it makes sense to jump from a basic or shopifier Advance plan then that would you know that would help you just doing the math yourself figuring out what your what your fee rates would be um as to whether it would save you money or not because you know for some people if you're not doing big sales volume doesn't really make a whole lot of sense you're not going to save that much money from jumping plans because realistically the the majority of the features like basic is pretty powerful you can do quite a lot in the basic plan anyway um so that's really like one of the biggest spots is just looking at the credit card rates and calculating out what your total cost would be and what your cost savings could look like so point of sale of course that's included as well now if you need the point of sale Pro that is an add-on there so but the point of sale light is included on all of them International Commerce as well and um various taxes so depending on import tax you might have to jump up as well but you know realistically when you're comparing the different options here with the three main plans like you pretty much got it all across them um so yeah these are the main differences um between them but you could see how many aspects are included in features are included just even in the basic plan alone and there's really slight differences um when you jump up to the other plans another aspect if you are considering the cheapest plan which they do have the starter plan at five per month this is how you can create a simple storefront if you just want something that has you know no code set up you're not setting up a whole website and everything like that if you're just doing something basic and simple you're just looking to share your products across social media then this is a great way to do that you know because you could just get started with selling uh and it is super simple and easy and at least then you have the customer data uh you have the analytics and it's easy to sell stuff on social as you can see some you know place like Instagram WhatsApp or anywhere else uh with the Shopify checkout and it makes it so you can at least monetize your audience uh through social media so that's a great um way to do it if you want to at least get your brand out there and start being able to sell your products um so as you can see here this is like their little you get the little dashboard and you know another great thing about that five uh the bait this entry plan is that you know you can grow with it as Shopify is a very scalable platform uh for business growth so if you're just a beginner it makes sense to start with what's cheapest test the waters figure out you know what works what doesn't work and then you can always upgrade your plans later down the road uh if you want or if you need to and then you can scale things that way without having to like migrate platforms or anything you're all just still within the same ecosystem all your data is there you don't have to worry about any migrations which can be quite a headache so it definitely makes sense just to start on the starter plan if you're really small and you can scale things up as you grow so that's another uh great option there as far as selling within the Shopify platform and the different pricing um plans and offerings that they have so yeah that that those are the those are the main pricing plans you know are as follows um I do want to mention you uh and remind you guys once again to go ahead and check out that first link down in the description box below that will take
