Selected Shopify stores can take advantage of unique offer – Shopify Plus risk-free trial for 2 months for $399 (the price of Shopify Advanced). It's not clear how exactly the stores are selected, but one of the rules is having at least a few orders per month.
The Shopify Plus trial gives you some extra features from Plus including:
- B2B/wholesale features
- Custom reports
- Unlimited staff accounts
- Up to 50 Markets for free
- Customizable checkout
- 24/7 phone support

Only the transaction fees will be the same as for the Shopify Advanced plan (i.e., 2.5% + 30¢ per transaction when using Shopify Payments gateway).
How to get Shopify Plus trial
To see if you are eligible for the offer follow these steps:
- Login to your Shopify store admin
- Check the dashboard banners and see if the one saying "Start a 2-month trial of Plus for $399 USD/month" is there
- Alternatively, go to Settings > Plan > Change plan and see if the Shopify Plus trial offer is there

If you don't see it anywhere, you are unfortunately not eligible. At least for now.
Try 2 month and see how it works
If you see the offer, we definitely recommend to take it. 2 months should give you enough time to see the impact on your business and build a solid business case for the potential annual upgrade. You can also use our Shopify pricing calculator to help you with that.
One of the things with immediate impact are the checkout upsells. You can't do them on any other Shopify plan.
