Why Basic wins for most stores

Upgrading saves 0.15โ€“0.20 percentage points on card fees, but the plan costs more. Shakewell calculates that Basic to Grow only pays off on fees at around $48,000 a month in online sales. Upgrade for features, not fees, until you're at that level.

Next step

Most new stores do best on Basic billed yearly. Shopify's current intro offer is $1/month for 3 months.
