When Standard Plans Are Enough
Key When Standard Plans Are Enough
If you run a single store with under $1M in annual revenue and do not need custom checkout or B2B features, Advanced Shopify or even the standard Shopify plan will serve you well.
When to Upgrade to Plus
Key When to Upgrade to Plus
Upgrade when you need custom checkout, are hitting API rate limits, need multiple storefronts or B2B functionality, or your revenue justifies the investment. Many businesses upgrade around the $1M-$3M revenue mark.
Transaction Fees
Key Transaction Fees
Plus stores get the lowest transaction fees. For high-volume stores, fee savings alone can cover the subscription cost.
