Why Am I Being Charged by Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 2:56 am

Shopify is a platform that enables businesses to create and operate online stores. When you sign up for a Shopify account, you are agreeing to pay Shopify’s monthly fees. These fees cover the costs of hosting your store, as well as the software and support that Shopify provides.

The monthly fee for a Shopify account depends on which plan you choose. The Basic plan starts at $29 per month, while the Advanced plan is $299 per month.

There is also a Professional plan for $1,499 per month, and an Enterprise plan for custom pricing. If you decide to cancel your account, you will still be responsible for paying any remaining balance on your account.

PRO TIP: If you see a charge from Shopify on your credit card or bank statement, it is likely that you have an account with us.

If you do not recognize the charge and would like more information, please contact our support team. We would be happy to help!

In addition to the monthly fees, Shopify also charges transaction fees on each order that is processed through your store. The transaction fee is 2% of the total order value for accounts on the Basic and Advanced plans, and 0.5% for Professional and Enterprise accounts.

If you are using a payment gateway other than Shopify Payments (which is included in all plans except for the Basic plan), then you will also be charged an additional transaction fee. For more information on Shopify’s pricing, please visit https://www.com/pricing.

In conclusion, businesses are charged by Shopify because they use the platform to create and operate their online stores. The monthly fee covers the costs of hosting the store as well as the software and support that Shopify provides. In addition to the monthly fees, businesses are also charged transaction fees on each order processed through their store.
