UPDATE 2023: In January 2023, Shopify increased subscription prices for Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans.

In August 2022, Shopify slightly changed the prices of two of its monthly plans—Basic and Shopify. And if you think that the prices went up, you guessed it wrong. Basic and Shopify got cheaper.

A new plan for social selling

On top of that, Shopify introduced a new plan called Starter. It’s designed for those who need an easy way to enter the e-commerce field and allows creating product links to share them on social media and other channels. 

The Starter plan costs $5 per month and can be a great replacement for Lite for merchants not interested in in-person sales. If you want to combine easy social selling and POS without having to create a website, you can go with Lite for $9 per month.
