Can You Do Payment Plans on Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 5:09 am

When it comes to ecommerce platforms, Shopify is one of the most popular options available. And for good reason – it’s easy to use, has a lot of features and integrations, and is overall a solid platform.

One thing you might be wondering about, though, is whether or not Shopify offers payment plans. The short answer is yes – Shopify does offer payment plans.

Shopify offers two different types of payment plans: monthly and yearly. With the monthly plan, you’ll pay $29 per month (billed annually) and with the yearly plan, you’ll pay $26 per month (billed annually). Both plans come with a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee.

PRO TIP: Shopify does not currently offer payment plans, but there are third-party apps that allow you to set up payment plans for your customers. Be sure to do your research on these apps before installing them, as some may have hidden fees or other drawbacks.

So what are the benefits of paying for a Shopify plan? There are a few:

  • You’ll get access to more features. While the basic Shopify plan gives you everything you need to get started, there are a few features that are only available on the higher-priced plans. These include things like abandoned cart recovery, professional reports, and gift cards. If you think you’ll need any of these features, it might be worth paying for one of the higher-priced plans.
  • You’ll get access to more integrations. Shopify has a huge app store with tons of integrations for things like accounting, marketing, shipping, etc.

    Some of these apps are free, but many are paid. If you think you’ll need any of the paid apps, it might be worth paying for a Shopify plan so that you can access them.

  • You’ll get priority support. If you ever have any issues with your shop or need help with something, you can always contact Shopify support. However, if you have a paid plan, you’ll be bumped to the front of the line and will generally get help faster than if you were on a free plan.

Overall, whether or not you want to pay for a Shopify plan is up to you. If you think you need any of the features or integrations that come with a paid plan, then it might be worth it for you. But if not, then you can always stick with the free plan.
