Totals use online standard card rates from Shopify UK pricing, checked on 14 October 2026. Amounts stay in the billing currency when you switch country. Euro card rates differ outside Ireland. Amex, international cards, VAT, apps and POS sit outside this estimate. At higher volume, Plus can move to a variable platform fee that Shopify quotes separately.
Common questions
Does paying yearly change the result?
It can. Basic, Grow and Advanced drop by about a quarter when you pay for the year upfront. Plus moves from the 1-year rate to the 3-year rate.
When is Plus worth more than the saving?
When you need checkout changes, more than three trade catalogues, extra stores, or the lower card rate at high volume. The fee is one input.
