The Short Answer

What Does a Shopify Store Actually Cost?

A Shopify store has two cost buckets: a recurring monthly running cost (plan, payment fees, apps, email, shipping) and a one-time build cost (design and development). The calculator above estimates the monthly running cost. Typical ranges for a growing D2C brand look like this — in India (INR) and globally (USD).

Shopify Cost Questions

For most Indian D2C brands the monthly running cost is roughly ₹12,000 to ₹90,000, depending on plan and scale. It includes the Shopify subscription (₹3,200–₹8,600 for Basic/Shopify plus 18% GST), Razorpay gateway fees (UPI ~0.05%, cards ~2%, COD ~0.5% plus a flat fee), an app stack (₹5,000–₹20,000), Klaviyo email, and shipping. Use the calculator above for your exact number.

Outside India, a typical Shopify store runs about $120 to $900 per month: the plan ($39 Basic, $105 Shopify, $399 Advanced), Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction), apps ($50–$250), Klaviyo email, and shipping. There is no GST. Switch the calculator to Global mode for a USD estimate.

Shopify Basic is $39/mo, Shopify is $105/mo, Advanced is $399/mo, and Shopify Plus starts around $2,300/mo (billed in USD). Shopify's own transaction fee falls as you go up a plan (2% Basic, 1% Shopify, 0.5% Advanced) and is waived when you use Shopify Payments.

Shopify charges its own transaction fee (0.5%–2% by plan) only when you use a third-party gateway such as Razorpay or PayU. That fee is waived if you use Shopify Payments. You always pay your payment processor's own fee (Razorpay in India, Stripe globally) on top.

A one-time build is separate from the monthly running cost above. A basic setup is roughly ₹40,000–₹1,00,000 (about $500–$1,200), a custom D2C theme build ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000 (about $2,000–$6,000), and Shopify Plus or headless builds more. The calculator estimates monthly running cost only — book a call for a build quote.

Yes. Indian merchants pay 18% GST on the Shopify subscription and on most India-billed apps. If you are GST-registered you can usually claim it as input tax credit. The India mode of the calculator adds 18% GST automatically; Global mode does not.
