Shopify Store Cost Calculator

A Shopify store\'s monthly cost is composed of several components beyond just the subscription fee. The subscription plan (Basic $39, Shopify $105, Advanced $399, or Plus $2,300) is the base cost. On top of that, you have transaction fees (0.5-2% of revenue if using an external payment gateway),credit card processing fees (2.15-2.9% + $0.30 per transaction depending on plan), app subscription costs for tools and integrations installed from the Shopify App Store, theme costs for your store\'s design (one-time purchase or subscription), and domain fees for your custom store URL. The total can vary significantly based on your chosen plan, payment method, and the apps you install.

Cost calculation happens in three steps, entirely in your browser:

1. Enter your store data: Provide your monthly revenue, number of online and in-person transactions, average order value, and select your Shopify plan. The calculator accepts any combination of values with no restrictions.
2. Configure expenses: Toggle between Shopify Payments and an external gateway to compare fee structures. Enter your monthly app subscription costs, one-time theme purchase price, and monthly domain fee.
3. Review results & compare plans: Instantly see your total monthly Shopify cost with a full breakdown, cost as a percentage of revenue, net monthly profit after costs, and a side-by-side comparison across all four plans with savings recommendations.

• Subscription Plan: Higher-tier plans have higher monthly fees but lower transaction and processing rates. The breakeven point depends on your monthly revenue and transaction volume - use the calculator to find the optimal plan for your business.
• Payment Gateway Choice: Using Shopify Payments eliminates the additional transaction fee (0.5-2%) that applies when using an external gateway. This single decision can save you hundreds of dollars per month as your revenue scales.
• Transaction Volume vs Average Order Value: Higher transaction volumes at lower average order values increase per-transaction fixed fees. The calculator accounts for both your transaction count and order value to provide an accurate processing cost estimate.
• App Ecosystem: Shopify apps can significantly increase your monthly costs. The average store spends $30-100/month on apps, but power users may spend $200+. Regularly auditing and removing unused apps is one of the easiest ways to reduce monthly costs.
