If you run an online store, you know that Shopify is one of the best platforms out there. It’s easy to use, has great features, and helps businesses grow. But there’s one big downside—Shopify fees can add up fast. Between subscription costs, transaction fees, and credit card processing rates, business owners often pay more than they expect.
That’s where Alliance Business Advisors comes in. We help business owners like you save money by finding the best solutions for your needs. Let’s break down Shopify’s pricing and how we can help you keep more of your hard-earned money.
Understanding Shopify’s Fees
Shopify offers different pricing plans, starting at $39 per month for the Basic plan, $105 per month for the Shopify plan, and $399 per month for the Advanced plan. The more you pay, the lower your credit card processing fees are. But even at the highest levels, those fees can still take a big chunk out of your profits.
Other Costs to Consider:
- Transaction Fees – If you don’t use Shopify Payments, you’ll pay an extra 0.5% to 2% per sale.
- Credit Card Processing Fees – These range from 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction (Basic plan) to 2.5% + 30¢ per transaction (Advanced plan).
- App Costs – Many Shopify apps charge monthly fees, adding even more to your expenses.
How Alliance Business Advisors Helps You Save
Many business owners think they have to accept these fees as part of doing business, but that’s not true. Alliance Business Advisors can help you reduce costs in several ways:
