Short answer: Shopify sells four plans in India. Billed monthly, Basic costs ₹1,994, Grow ₹7,447 and Advanced ₹30,164 a month, and Plus starts at ₹1,75,000 a month. Paying yearly brings the first three down to ₹1,499, ₹5,599 and ₹22,680 a month. Prices are from Shopify’s India pricing page, checked on 10 October 2026.
The plan price is only part of what Shopify costs an Indian store. On every plan Shopify also takes a percentage of each online payment, and that percentage is what should decide which plan you pick. This guide covers both.
Shopify plan prices in India
| Plan | Pay monthly | Pay yearly (per month) | Shopify’s fee on online payments | Staff accounts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹1,994 | ₹1,499 | 2% | Not included |
| Grow | ₹7,447 | ₹5,599 | 1% | Up to 5 |
| Advanced | ₹30,164 | ₹22,680 | 0.6% | Up to 15 |
| Plus | From ₹1,75,000 | Not listed | 0.2% | Unlimited |
The plan that used to be called “Shopify” is now called Grow. All four plans include the online store, unlimited products and the same reports, which Shopify describes as 200+ real-time reports plus custom analytics.
The fee most Indian stores miss
Shopify Payments is not available in India. It is not on Shopify’s list of supported countries. So an Indian store has to take online payments through a third-party gateway, and Shopify charges its own fee on those payments: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus. Your gateway’s charge comes on top of that.
Cash on delivery and other manual payments, such as bank transfers, are not charged this fee. It applies to orders paid online.
Here is what a month costs on each plan, billed monthly, at two levels of online sales:
| Online sales in a month | Basic | Grow | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹5,00,000 | ₹1,994 + ₹10,000 = ₹11,994 | ₹7,447 + ₹5,000 = ₹12,447 | ₹30,164 + ₹3,000 = ₹33,164 |
| ₹10,00,000 | ₹1,994 + ₹20,000 = ₹21,994 | ₹7,447 + ₹10,000 = ₹17,447 | ₹30,164 + ₹6,000 = ₹36,164 |
When does a bigger plan cost less?
Grow costs ₹5,453 a month more than Basic and charges 1% less on online payments. The two cost the same at about ₹5.45 lakh of online sales a month. Above that, Grow is the cheaper plan.
Advanced costs ₹22,717 a month more than Grow and charges 0.4% less. The two cost the same at about ₹57 lakh of online sales a month.
On yearly billing the gaps are smaller, so the crossover comes earlier: about ₹4.1 lakh a month for Basic to Grow, and about ₹42.7 lakh a month for Grow to Advanced.
What each plan adds
Basic
The full online store with a 2% fee on online payments. Extra staff accounts are not included, so it suits an owner who runs the store alone. It includes 10 inventory locations and live chat support.
Grow
Up to 5 staff accounts and a 1% fee. This is the plan for a store with a small team, or one that has crossed the sales level above.
Advanced
Up to 15 staff accounts, a 0.6% fee, enhanced live chat support and live shipping rates from third-party carriers at checkout.
Plus
From ₹1,75,000 a month with a 0.2% fee. It adds unlimited staff accounts, 200 inventory locations, full checkout customisation, priority phone support around the clock and up to 9 free expansion stores. If you are weighing it up, see our Shopify Plus development page.
Monthly or yearly billing?
Yearly billing costs about 25% less: ₹1,499 instead of ₹1,994 a month on Basic, ₹5,599 instead of ₹7,447 on Grow, and ₹22,680 instead of ₹30,164 on Advanced. You pay for the year up front. Monthly billing costs more but lets you stop at any time.
Free trial
Shopify’s current offer in India is 3 days free, then ₹20 a month for the first 3 months. No card is needed to start the trial. Shopify says the ₹20 offer applies to most plans.
Selling in a shop as well?
POS Pro is an add-on for physical stores at ₹7,000 a month per location. It is charged on top of your plan.
Which Shopify plan should you pick?
- Starting out, or under about ₹5 lakh of online sales a month: Basic.
- Above that, or you need staff logins: Grow.
- Above about ₹57 lakh of online sales a month, or you need more than 5 staff: Advanced.
- Large stores that need checkout changes or several stores: Plus.
If most of your orders are cash on delivery, count only your online payments when you compare, because the fee does not apply to COD orders.
What we recommend to clients
We start almost every new store on Basic. A new store does not need more, and the money is better spent on photos and ads.
We move a store to Grow once its prepaid online sales cross about ₹5.5 lakh a month (about ₹4 lakh if you pay yearly), or earlier if the team needs staff accounts. Advanced only pays for itself on the fee above roughly ₹57 lakh a month; most stores that move do it for the 15 staff accounts or the reports.
Plus starts at ₹1,75,000 a month, so never move for the fee saving alone. Compared with Advanced, it only pays off above about ₹3.6 crore of online sales a month. Move to Plus when the business needs what only Plus gives: checkout customization, B2B and wholesale pricing, your own custom app with Shopify Functions, or several stores under one account.
And do not upgrade because you think a bigger plan will bring more sales. It will not. Upgrade when the numbers, or a feature you actually need, say so.
