Cross-border e-commerce on Shopify adopts the model of independent stations.

So, if you open a store on Shopify, do you need to pay rent? Let me introduce it to you below.

need.

Shopify monthly fee: refers to the basic cost used to maintain website operations, which is equivalent to rent.

For newly registered sellers, Shopify will provide a 14-day free trial. If you want to continue to open a store on Shopify after the free trial, you will need to pay a monthly fee. Currently, there are three payment methods for opening a store on Shopify (the lowest plan of 9 USD/month does not support Shopify online stores).

Most sellers will choose Basic Shopify-29 USD/month. The basic functions provided by Shopify in this package are sufficient for our initial use. If there is a need to upgrade the plan later, it can be changed at any time;

At the end of each month, Shopify will deduct the monthly fee from your linked credit card. If your credit card account balance is insufficient or your credit card expires, Shopify will also stop the website hosting service.

What are Shopify transaction fees?

Shopify transaction fee: If you use Shopify payment, you don’t have to pay this fee, but if you use other payment methods, then each of your transactions will be subject to a handling fee according to the corresponding plan.

Generally, Shopify will charge sellers a transaction fee of 0.5%-2%. For example, if we choose the Basic Shopify plan and sell 5,000 USD a month, the transaction fee is: 5,000*2%=100 USD;

If the seller meets some special conditions, the 2% Shopify transaction fee can be waived. Special conditions: The seller has personal identification information and credit card in Hong Kong or the United States.

、Shopify App Fees:

Not every Shopify seller needs to pay the APP fee. If you need to install the Shopify app to expand the functions of your online store, you will need to pay this fee.

Shopify APP is divided into two types: free and paid. Shopify APP has a 7-14 day trial period, and paid apps are usually charged monthly.

Like the common comment plug-in Loox Reviews, instant messaging app-Tidio Live Chat, email marketing tool MailChimp, Countdown Cart, a tool that urges customers to place orders quickly, etc., you have to pay a monthly fee after the installation trial is over, and you don’t have to pay after uninstalling.

If you open a store on Shopify, you will need to pay rent. After all, the platform also needs to make a profit. They also provide technology and services for building independent websites, so it is unlikely that they will not charge rent. In addition, if you use their promotion, you will need to pay additional fees, so everyone should choose according to their needs.
