When Does It Make Financial Sense to Upgrade Shopify Plans?
One of the most common questions for scaling e-commerce merchants is: “When should I upgrade from Basic to Shopify, or from Shopify to Advanced?”
Because higher-tier Shopify plans offer lower credit card processing rates (2.6% vs 2.9% on Basic, and 2.4% on Advanced), the savings on transaction fees will eventually offset the higher monthly software subscription.
- Upgrade to “Shopify” ($105/mo): Becomes profitable once your store reliably exceeds $22,000/month in sales.
- Upgrade to “Advanced” ($399/mo): Becomes profitable once your store reliably exceeds $147,000/month in sales.
