Shopify is a powerful ecommerce platform that enables merchants to create and manage an online store. It offers a range of plans, from basic to advanced, to suit the needs of different businesses. But the question remains – is Shopify free or paid?

The answer is – it depends. Shopify offers a 14-day free trial so you can get a feel for the platform before committing to a plan. However, after the trial period, you will need to choose a paid plan.

The pricing for Shopify plans vary from $29 to $299 per month depending on the features and services you need. All plans come with unlimited products, 24/7 support, and SSL security.

Transaction Fees

The great news is that there are no transaction fees for stores using Shopify Payments. This means that you can easily accept credit cards and other payment methods without incurring additional costs.

However, if you choose to use a third-party payment provider, there will be additional fees of 2%, 1%, or 0.5% for our Basic Shopify, Shopify, and Advanced Shopify plans, respectively.

Prices vary from $29 to $299 per month depending on the features and services you need.
