Learn the differences between Shopify & Shopify Plus
A lot of merchants struggle with deciding whether Shopify Plus is a worthwhile solution for their business. If you’re already on Shopify, why upgrade to Shopify Plus? The fact is, there are many significant differences between the two platforms:
A basic Shopify account begins at just £19 per month. It’s highly recommended for merchants who are just getting started. The core Shopify platform begins at £49 per month, and if you want more advanced features that’ll cost you £259. Shopify Plus is priced at $2300(~£1800) per month for merchants on a 3 year plan, or at a flat 0.25% rate of your store’s revenue in months you make more than $800,000.
Shopify has a user base of 500,000 merchants while Shopify Plus has a user base of 2,500 merchants.
Shopify is perfect for merchants who can themselves only handle a simple experience or only need to offer a more simplified experience, either because they’re just getting started as an eCommerce merchant, or their business just isn't that complex. In contrast, Shopify Plus has the same key features, but provides more opportunities for scalability, customisation, and higher order volumes.
