Assumptions you can edit: Shopify publishes Plus from $2,300/month on a 3-year term ($2,500 on 1-year); your current plan defaults to Advanced at $399/month. The card-rate improvement on Plus is negotiated per merchant — 0.10–0.25% is typical; confirm your rate with Shopify. App savings = paid apps whose jobs move to native Plus features (Functions, Flow, Launchpad, native B2B).

Your Plus math (monthly)

Plus licence$2,300
Minus your current plan−$399
Extra licence cost$1,901
Card-fee savings (0.15% of $166,667)−$250
App consolidation savings−$300
Net monthly cost of Plus$1,351

At these assumptions, Plus pays for itself on fees alone at roughly $12,808,000/year in online revenue.

Honest note: most brands don't upgrade for fee arbitrage — they upgrade for capabilities: checkout customisation, Shopify Functions, native B2B, expansion stores and higher API limits. If you need those, the maths above is the floor, not the ceiling.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Shopify Plus cost in 2026?

Shopify publishes Shopify Plus from $2,300 per month on a 3-year term, or $2,500 per month on a 1-year term. Large merchants may instead pay a variable platform fee. On top of the licence, factor in negotiated card rates and any development or app costs.

At what revenue does Shopify Plus make sense?

On fee savings alone, the breakeven is typically in the low millions of dollars of annual online revenue — this calculator shows your exact number from your own assumptions. In practice most brands upgrade earlier because they need Plus capabilities: checkout customisation, Shopify Functions, native B2B, or expansion stores.

Does Shopify Plus reduce transaction fees?

Plus merchants negotiate card rates with Shopify, and typical improvements are around 0.10–0.25% versus Advanced, plus a lower surcharge if you use an external payment gateway. The exact rate is per-merchant — confirm yours with Shopify before deciding.

What does this calculator assume?

Published licence pricing (July 2026), your current plan cost (default: Advanced at $399/month), an editable card-rate improvement, and an editable estimate of paid apps replaced by native Plus features like Functions, Flow, Launchpad and B2B. Every assumption is visible and adjustable.
