The plan price is the smallest part of the bill.
Move the sliders to your numbers. The calculator adds Shopify’s fee and your gateway’s fee on prepaid orders, leaves COD out of Shopify’s fee, and shows which plan costs you least.
The rest is Cash on Delivery, which Shopify charges no transaction fee on.
From your Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree or PhonePe agreement. The default is an example.

When upgrading pays for itself.
A higher plan’s lower fee only beats its higher price past a certain amount of prepaid sales. These are the break-even points from Shopify’s own numbers, before any feature you might want.
- Basic → Grow
- ₹5,45,300/mo of prepaid sales on monthly billing (₹4,10,000 on yearly).
- Grow → Advanced
- ₹56,79,250/mo of prepaid sales on monthly billing.
- Advanced → Plus
- Rarely on fees Plus is chosen for checkout control, B2B and automation, not the 0.4% saving.
What I tell founders: stay on Basic until the calculator above says otherwise for your real prepaid share. Ask me about your store.

Shopify India pricing questions.
How much does Shopify cost per month in India in 2026?
On monthly billing, Basic is ₹1,994, Grow is ₹7,447 and Advanced is ₹30,164 a month. Billed yearly they drop to ₹1,499, ₹5,599 and ₹22,680 a month. Shopify Plus starts at ₹1,75,000 a month. New stores can try 3 days free, then pay ₹20 a month for 3 months. Prices were last verified on Shopify's India pricing page on 5 October 2026.
What are Shopify transaction fees in India?
Shopify charges a third-party transaction fee on orders paid through a payment gateway: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus. Because Shopify Payments is not available in India, every prepaid order through Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree or similar pays this fee on top of the gateway's own charge.
Does Shopify charge a transaction fee on Cash on Delivery orders?
No. Shopify's Help Center states that you aren't charged third-party transaction fees for manual payments, and built-in Cash on Delivery is a manual payment method. The fee only applies to orders paid online through a gateway. Your courier still charges its own COD fee, and that is a separate cost.
Is Shopify Payments available in India?
No. India is not on Shopify's list of countries where Shopify Payments is available. Indian stores accept online payments through third-party gateways such as Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, PhonePe or CCAvenue, which means the third-party transaction fee for your plan always applies to prepaid orders.
Which Shopify plan should an Indian D2C brand choose?
Start on Basic. Grow only pays for itself once your prepaid sales pass about ₹5,45,300 a month on monthly billing (about ₹4,10,000 on yearly billing), because its 1% lower fee has to cover the ₹5,453 higher subscription. Advanced breaks even with Grow at about ₹56,79,250 of prepaid sales a month. Pick earlier only if you need a specific feature.
Is the Shopify Starter plan available in India?
Not for new stores. Shopify's Help Center says the Starter plan isn't available to new stores, even though it has been advertised in India at ₹399 a month and still turns up in search results. Existing Starter merchants keep it, but cannot return to it after switching plans. A new Indian seller should start on Basic.
Does Shopify pricing in India include GST?
Shopify's India pricing page does not show GST on the plan prices. Check your Shopify invoice for any tax added to the subscription. GST on your own sales is a separate matter that depends on your registration and what you sell.
How much does Shopify Plus cost in India?
Shopify's India Plus pricing shows ₹1,75,000 a month on a 3-year term and ₹1,90,000 a month on a 1-year term, with a 0.2% third-party transaction fee on prepaid orders. Very high-volume stores move to a revenue-based platform fee that Shopify quotes individually. Compared with Advanced at ₹30,164 a month, the fee saving alone only covers the difference at very high prepaid volume, so Plus is usually chosen for checkout control, B2B and automation rather than fees.
