Let me start of by saying that I absolutely love the look and feel of Shopify, it is one of my favorite hosted shopping carts. So, now you have made that important decision and decided to use Shopify for your online business. The next step is choosing the right plan for your business.

When looking for the best plan for your online store, be sure to look at things like the amount of products you can list, bandwidth, transaction fees, and monthly pricing. It’s very important to choose the plan that will be able to withstand the size of your business.

What is the Best Shopify Plan?

Getting straight to the point, the best Shopify plan for medium sized stores is their professional plan that costs $59 per month and gives you some cool additional features.

Why is the Professional Plan the Best Shopify plan?

• The plan entitles you to 2,500 products, which is more than enough for most medium sized businesses
• 5 GB of file storage gives you just enough space
• Charges only 1% in transaction fees, which is pretty reasonable and will bite into your profits
• The professional plan allows you to use their discount code engine, the lower priced plans do not have this option
• And of course, unlimited bandwidth as with all Shopify plans

What to Know About Shopify Plans

Shopify allows you to downgrade or upgrade to any plan, whenever you want and free of charge. There are no contracts or any hidden fees with any of the plans. If you are a major corporation and plan on selling over one million per year, Shopify has a special priced enterprise plan for you. It’s very important to know that Shopify charges a fee anywhere between 0-2% per transaction, depending on the plan you choose.

They are also so flexible and have several plan options. If you hate transaction fees, they waive them with their unlimited plan that costs $179 per month.

We strongly recommend the professional plan for small and medium stores, and the unlimited plan for larger businesses. Regardless of the plan you choose, Shopify starts you off with a 14-day free trail.
