Q: Which Shopify plan is best for an Indian D2C brand?

Start on Basic. Move to Grow when monthly prepaid sales pass about ₹4.1 lakh (yearly billing) to ₹5.45 lakh (monthly billing), or sooner if you need staff accounts. Advanced makes sense from roughly ₹43–57 lakh a month.

Q: Was the Shopify plan renamed to Grow?

Yes. The middle plan, previously called Shopify, is now called Grow. It costs ₹7,447/month, or ₹5,599/month on yearly billing.

Basic ₹1,994, Grow ₹7,447, Advanced ₹30,164, Plus from ₹1,75,000 a month. Add GST, Razorpay and Shopify's transaction fee in the calculator below to see your real monthly bill.

Short answer

Shopify costs ₹1,994/month (Basic), ₹7,447/month (Grow) or ₹30,164/month (Advanced) in India on monthly billing, and Plus starts at ₹1,75,000/month. Yearly billing cuts roughly 25%. Prices exclude 18% GST. New merchants get 3 days free, then ₹20/month for 3 months. Shopify Payments is not available in India, so you also pay your gateway plus Shopify's third-party fee (2% on Basic down to 0.2% on Plus).

Get started

What you'll actually pay each month

The subscription is the smallest line for most stores. Since Shopify Payments isn't available in India, every prepaid order through Razorpay, PayU or Cashfree carries your gateway's fee plus Shopify's third-party fee.

On Basic that is roughly 2% + 2% = 4% of prepaid sales. At ₹5 lakh a month that is ₹20,000 in fees, against a ₹1,994 subscription.

Upgrading is not automatic. Grow's subscription is ₹5,453 higher than Basic's, and its fee saving is 1% of sales, so it only pays for itself above about ₹5.45 lakh a month (₹4.1 lakh on yearly billing). Below that, Basic is cheaper. Compare more in our Shopify plans comparison.

Worked example: Basic plan

₹5 lakh a month, all prepaid, monthly billing

Basic subscription₹1,994

GST on subscription (18%)₹359

Shopify third-party fee (2%)₹10,000

Razorpay-type gateway (~2%)₹10,000

Before apps, theme, domain₹22,353

That is about 4.5% of sales. Apps, a theme, your domain and shipping come on top. COD orders skip the gateway fee but add courier COD charges and return risk.

Transaction fees

Fees by plan, and when each one wins

Same ₹5 lakh of prepaid sales on every plan, monthly billing, before GST.

Plan	Subscription	Shopify fee	Gateway (~2%)	Total at ₹5L	Cheapest when prepaid sales are
Basic	₹1,994	2%	₹10,000	₹21,994	Below about ₹5.45L / month
Grow	₹7,447	1%	₹10,000	₹22,447	About ₹5.45L to ₹56.8L
Advanced	₹30,164	0.6%	₹10,000	₹43,164	About ₹56.8L to ₹3.6 Cr
Plus	From ₹1,75,000	0.2%	₹10,000	₹1,86,000	Above about ₹3.6 Cr

How the break-even works: (higher plan price − lower plan price) ÷ (lower fee % − higher fee %). On yearly billing the points drop to about ₹4.1 lakh and ₹42.7 lakh. Staff accounts and features can justify a higher plan earlier. Check your exact gateway rate: Razorpay vs PayU vs Stripe.

Hidden costs

Beyond the subscription: what else you'll pay

None of these are on Shopify's pricing page, and all of them change your monthly bill.

Payment gateway

About 2% per prepaid order

Razorpay, PayU and Cashfree each set their own rate. Set one up with our Razorpay guide.

GST on the subscription

+18%

Basic on yearly billing becomes about ₹1,769 a month, Grow about ₹6,607. Registered businesses can usually claim it as input credit. Ask your CA.

COD and shipping

Courier COD charges + RTO

Shopify doesn't bill this, but COD adds courier fees and return-to-origin losses. See Shiprocket vs Delhivery.

Apps

Monthly, adds up fast

Reviews, upsell, subscriptions and COD tools are usually recurring. Start with the essentials in best Shopify apps for India.

Theme and domain

Free themes to one-time paid

Free themes cover most launches. A custom domain is a separate yearly cost. Compare options in best Shopify themes for D2C.

Setup and development

Your time, or an agency

Doing it yourself costs weeks. See our agency pricing for fixed-price options.
