Overview

Shopify bills you separately for the plan, card fees, apps and any paid theme, and this guide prices each of those from Shopify's own pages.

By Ashish Sharma, founder · Updated October 25, 2026

Quick answer

How much does it cost to have someone build a Shopify store?

With us, $600⁠–⁠$1,200 for a store on a ready-made theme, $1,200⁠–⁠$2,500 when the theme is customized and products move over from another platform, and $2,500⁠–⁠$3,500 for a custom theme from your design, each a fixed price once the scope is agreed. Shopify's own costs come on top: $39 a month on Basic or $105 on Grow, billed monthly, card fees from 2.9% + 30¢ per online sale, apps, and a theme if you buy one. The smallest of the three example stores below comes to $1,134⁠–⁠$1,734 for its first year before card fees.

  • Theme setup: $600⁠–⁠$1,200, 2⁠–⁠3 weeks
  • Customized theme with apps and a product move: $1,200⁠–⁠$2,500, 3⁠–⁠5 weeks
  • Custom theme from your Figma design: $2,500⁠–⁠$3,500, 4⁠–⁠6 weeks
  • Shopify and the app makers bill their fees to you directly
  • Free bug fixes for 6 months after launch

Three build tiers, and what each one leaves out

Most Shopify builds take one of three shapes. The tier depends on how far the design moves away from a ready-made theme and how much data has to come across from an old store, not on the number of pages.

Shopify build tiers in USD. One fixed price per store once the scope is agreed; the weeks run from the day we have store access and your content.
TierWhat you getPrice and weeksNot included
Theme setupA free or paid theme from the Shopify Theme Store set up with your logo, colors and fonts; your products loaded from a spreadsheet (the quote states how many); Shopify Payments, shipping zones and rates, tax settings; refund, delivery, terms and contact pages$600⁠–⁠$1,200, 2⁠–⁠3 weeksCustom sections, product photos, copywriting, the price of a paid theme
Customized themeEverything in theme setup, plus custom sections and templates, apps installed and configured (reviews, email, subscriptions), and products and customers moved from WooCommerce, Wix or Squarespace with redirects from the old addresses$1,200⁠–⁠$2,500, 3⁠–⁠5 weeksApp subscriptions, which each app bills to you; past orders unless the quote lists them
Custom themeA theme coded in Liquid from your Figma design, with sections and blocks your team can edit in the theme editor, plus everything in the other two tiers$2,500⁠–⁠$3,500, 4⁠–⁠6 weeksThe Figma design itself (quoted as UI/UX work), custom apps, Shopify Plus checkout work

Where a store lands inside its band depends on the product count, the variants and filters each product needs, and how many apps have to be set up and tested together. The written quote names the tier and the figure. Stores that need Shopify Plus, a custom app or a headless front end are quoted on their own.

What Shopify itself charges a US store in 2026

Shopify bills you directly, and none of it passes through us. Shopify shows prices by the visitor's country, and from India its pricing page lists rupees, so the US figures below come from the Internet Archive's copy of shopify.com/pricing captured on October 24, 2026, which shows the US prices. The plan line-up matched the live pricing page when we checked it on October 25, 2026.

Shopify plans for a US store. Prices in USD as listed on shopify.com/pricing on October 24, 2026; card rates are for Shopify Payments.
PlanBilled monthlyBilled yearly, per monthOnline card rateCard in personExtra fee with another payment providerStaff accounts
Basic$39$292.9% + 30¢2.6% + 10¢2%None
Grow$105$79 or $892.7% + 30¢2.5% + 10¢1%5
Advanced$399$299 or $3592.5% + 30¢2.4% + 10¢0.6%15
PlusFrom $2,300Not listed2.25% + 30¢2.3% + 10¢0.2%Unlimited

Four details change what a store actually pays:

  • Premium and international cards. Online premium card rates were 3.5%, 3.3%, 3.1% and 2.95% plus 30¢ across the four plans, and a card issued outside the US adds 1%.
  • Yearly prices moved during October. Copies of the page captured on different days showed Grow at $79 or $89 a month and Advanced at $299 or $359 on yearly billing. The monthly-billing prices were the same in every copy, so check the yearly figure on the screen where you pay.
  • The trial offer. When we read the page, a new store got 3 days free and then $1 a month for 3 months. The example totals further down leave that offer out, because its terms change.
  • Sales tax is not a Shopify fee. What you collect from buyers depends on the states where your business has to register, which is a question for your accountant.

How much Shopify takes from a $10 sale

On Basic with Shopify Payments, a $10 online card sale costs 59¢ in fees, so $9.41 reaches your payout. The table runs the same sale through each plan and each way a customer can pay, using the rates above. It is our arithmetic on Shopify's published rates, not a figure Shopify prints.

Fees on one $10 order. Card fee = the percentage of $10 plus the fixed cents; the last row assumes a provider that itself charges 2.9% + 30¢.
How the customer paysBasicGrowAdvanced
Standard card online, Shopify Payments59¢ (you keep $9.41)57¢ (you keep $9.43)55¢ (you keep $9.45)
Premium card online65¢63¢61¢
Card issued outside the US69¢67¢65¢
Card in person, Shopify POS36¢35¢34¢
Another payment provider at 2.9% + 30¢79¢ (20¢ to Shopify, 59¢ to the provider)69¢ (10¢ to Shopify)65¢ (6¢ to Shopify)

The fixed costs weigh most on small orders. The 30¢ is 3% of a $10 sale but 0.3% of a $100 one, and the plan fee spreads across every order: $39 a month over 100 orders is 39¢ each. A store that sells mostly low-priced items should set prices with both in mind. Moving up a plan pays off on card fees alone only at high volume: Grow's online rate sits 0.2 percentage points under Basic's, which saves $2 per $1,000 of card sales, while Grow costs $66 more a month on monthly billing. The break-even is about $33,000 of online card sales a month; below that, choose Grow for its staff seats or shipping features, not for the card rate.

First-year totals for three example stores

Each example adds the build price to twelve months of Shopify and the apps that store needs, at the prices read on October 24 and 25, 2026. Card fees are left out because they follow your sales. The first store pays one month of Grow while the build runs, for the reason explained under store access.

Example stores, year one, in USD. Build prices are our fixed tiers; Shopify and app prices as listed on October 24–25, 2026; card fees, the domain and Shopify's trial offer left out.
Example storeBuildShopify, 12 monthsThemeApps, 12 monthsYear-one total
Example store 1: a 40-product candle shop on a free theme, on Basic after launch$600⁠–⁠$1,200 (theme setup)$534: one build month on Grow at $105, then 11 months of Basic at $39$0, a free theme$0: Judge.me reviews and Shopify Email on their free plans$1,134⁠–⁠$1,734
Example store 2: 300 skincare products moved from WooCommerce, with subscriptions, on Grow$1,200⁠–⁠$2,500 (customized theme)$1,260: Grow at $105 a month$320, a one-time paid theme$1,608: Recharge Starter at $99, Klaviyo email at $20 and Judge.me at $15 a month$4,388⁠–⁠$5,688, plus Recharge's 1.49% + 19¢ per subscription order
Example store 3: a 90-product furniture brand with a custom theme from its Figma file, on Grow$2,500⁠–⁠$3,500 (custom theme)$1,260: Grow at $105 a month$0: the theme is the build$240: Klaviyo email at $20 a month, reviews on Judge.me's free plan$4,000⁠–⁠$5,000

Two lines deserve a second look against your own plans. A store that runs on Basic needs no staff seats after launch, so its build month on Grow is a one-off $66 difference on monthly billing. Apps are where the second year grows: each one bills monthly, and a dozen modest subscriptions can cost more than Shopify itself. Our quote lists every app the scope needs and what each one costs, so the running total is known before the build starts.

Apps and themes: what they cost, and what you can’t get back

  • A paid theme is a one-time purchase with no refund

    The Shopify Theme Store listed 24 free and 1,323 paid themes on October 25, 2026, and the paid ones we sampled across its pages cost $100 to $500. Shopify's refund policy makes theme purchases final sale, though you can try any theme in your store before buying it. So the theme you are weighing goes onto an unpublished copy with your own products first, and you buy it only once you have seen them in it.

  • Apps bill every month

    Prices on the Shopify App Store, read on October 25, 2026: Judge.me reviews are free, or $15 a month on its Awesome plan. Klaviyo is free up to 250 active profiles and 500 emails a month, then $20 a month for 251–500 contacts. Recharge subscriptions cost $25 a month with no transaction fees for the first 50 subscribers, or $99 a month plus 1.49% + 19¢ per transaction on Starter. Shopify Email sends your first 10,000 emails a month free. Some apps bill you outside your Shopify invoice, and refunds for third-party apps are up to each app's developer, not Shopify.

  • Fewer apps, each one tested

    Every app adds code or settings to the store, and an app can leave snippets in the theme after you remove it. Before adding one, check whether the theme or a built-in Shopify feature already does the job. In a build, each app in the scope is installed on the unpublished theme, tested on a phone and a desktop, and listed in the handover notes with its monthly price.

Build it yourself, hire a freelancer, or hire a team

Paying someone is not always the right call. This is how the three routes compare for a US store owner.

  • Do it yourself

    A free theme, a few dozen products and flat-rate shipping are within reach of an owner with a free weekend and Shopify's setup screens. You pay only Shopify's fees. It stops being cheap when the job needs a migration with redirects, products with many variants, or a design the theme editor can't produce, because the hours go into learning instead of selling.

  • A freelancer

    On Upwork's page for Shopify developers in India, read on October 25, 2026, visible profiles ranged from about $10 to $30 an hour, and Upwork put the typical global rate at $15 to $29 an hour. A good freelancer suits a defined job. The risk is that one person holds the whole store, so ask who covers a holiday or a sick week before launch.

  • An agency or a team

    A Shopify agency's 2026 cost guide puts a startup launch at $2,500 to $4,000 and a growing direct-to-consumer brand at $5,000 to $15,000 (ECORN). With us, the same jobs sit in the $600–$3,500 tiers above, because a team in Lucknow costs less to run. What you give up is a shared working day: our hours fall in the US night, so reviews and feedback travel in writing.

We are not a Shopify Partner: what that changes for your store

Shopify Partners are agencies and developers enrolled in Shopify's partner program. We are not one. For a store owner that changes one thing: how we get into your store.

  • You own the store from the first day

    You open the store with your own email, choose the plan and connect your own bank account to Shopify Payments. We never ask for your owner login. Everything we build lives in your account, and all source code and IP, including a custom theme, pass to you on final payment.

  • We work through a staff account

    You add us as a staff member with the permissions the job needs, and remove us after handover or when a care plan ends. Shopify's help center says stores on the Basic or Starter plan can't add staff users, while Grow allows 5 staff accounts and Advanced 15.

  • If your store will run on Basic

    Keep it on Grow for the build month, then move it down. Shopify applies a change to Basic at the end of the current billing cycle, so on monthly billing the build month costs $105 instead of $39. The other route is collaborator access, which uses no staff seat and works on every plan, but it can only be requested from a Shopify Partner account, and we don't have one.

  • When to hire a Shopify Partner instead

    If you want a developer listed in Shopify's directory, or an agency that builds the store in its own account and then transfers it to you, look for a Shopify Partner. For a store on Grow or a higher plan, a staff account gives us everything a build needs.

What gets checked before the store goes live

A Shopify build with us takes 2–6 weeks, and its last days go to these checks, the ones that cost sales when they are skipped.

  • Policy and contact pages

    Refund, delivery, terms and contact pages written into the store with your business name, return address and support email, and linked from the footer and the checkout. Payment providers can ask to see them when they review a new store.

  • The payment setup

    Shopify Payments needs your business details, bank account and identity checks completed in your name. We send you Shopify's setup checklist with a note on each step, so nothing is still pending when the first order arrives.

  • Shipping and tax settings

    Shipping zones and rates match what the product pages promise, including any free-shipping threshold. Tax collection is switched on for the states you tell us you collect in.

  • A live test order, placed together

    Before handover, a real order goes through on a live card with you, and we check the confirmation email, the order in your admin and the payout line before refunding it. A test-mode order proves the theme works; only a live one proves the payment path does.

  • Redirects for a moved store

    When a store moves from WooCommerce, Wix or Squarespace, the old product and page addresses are redirected to their new Shopify ones, so links, bookmarks and search results keep working.

A Shopify storefront you can open, and store work beside it

We don't name US clients on this page. This is a store you can open yourself today, plus one we can only describe.

  • Shopify

    richakhemka.com, a Shopify storefront we worked on (the site's footer credits Overnight Digital), for a Kolkata fashion designer. Open a product page on a phone and see how the images, the product options and the cart behave.

  • WooCommerce, if you are weighing it against Shopify

    We built a WooCommerce pharmacy store for Anand Medico Chemist. That site has since switched platforms, so our version can't be opened, but it shows the other route: WooCommerce runs on WordPress hosting you control, with no monthly Shopify fee but with updates and hosting to look after.

Care plans need a staff account, so they suit stores on Grow or a higher plan; Shopify allows no staff accounts on Basic.

Project prices are our international USD price list, the same figures as on our service pages; the tier prices inside each band were set in October 2026. You get one fixed USD price once the scope is agreed. Projects are paid in US dollars, 40% at the start, 40% at a mid-project milestone and 20% at launch, by direct bank transfer to our USD account. Care plans are billed monthly in advance, month to month, by direct bank transfer to our USD account. Invoices come from Codingclave Development LLP in India, in US dollars, with no Indian GST added. Ask your accountant about any US tax on services bought from abroad.

How it works

How a Shopify build runs once you accept the quote

Start on WhatsApp

  1. You open the store and add our staff account

    You create the store, or use the one you have, on Grow or a higher plan, and add us as staff with the permissions listed in the quote. The first payment is due at this point.

  2. Theme work on an unpublished copy

    Design and code changes happen on an unpublished theme, so a live store keeps selling while we work. You get a preview link to check on your phone and your desktop.

  3. Products, apps and settings

    Products and customers are imported, apps installed and configured, and shipping, tax and the policy pages set. The mid-project milestone named in your quote falls here.

  4. The live test order and launch

    The theme is published, a real order goes through with you on a live card, every email and admin screen is checked, and the order is refunded.

  5. Handover and 6 months of fixes

    You get the theme files, a list of every app and setting, and a reminder to remove our staff account when you choose. The last payment is due at launch, and bugs in our work are fixed free for 6 months.

Founder-led by Ashish Sharma

Ask on WhatsApp (India)

Can I pay someone to build my Shopify store?

Yes, and most stores are built that way. You can hire a freelancer, an agency, a Shopify Partner or a team like ours. Whoever you choose, keep the store in your own Shopify account, give them a staff account instead of your owner login, and get a written scope that lists the theme, the apps and the number of products. With us that scope comes with one fixed USD price: $600⁠–⁠$1,200 on a ready-made theme, and up to $3,500 for a custom theme.

How much does Shopify take from a $10 sale?

On the Basic plan with Shopify Payments, 59¢: 2.9% of the sale plus 30¢, so $9.41 reaches your payout. On Grow it is 57¢ and on Advanced 55¢. A premium or international card costs more, an in-person sale on Basic costs 36¢, and with another payment provider Shopify adds 2% on Basic on top of that provider's own fee. The rates are from shopify.com/pricing as listed in October 2026, and the worked table shows every case.

Is Shopify still worth it in 2026?

For most small US stores, yes, as long as you count the monthly costs honestly. The plan includes hosting, security updates and a PCI-compliant checkout, so there is no server to look after. Against that sit a plan fee every month, card fees on every sale and apps that add up. WooCommerce can cost less to run if someone already maintains your WordPress site. The Shopify vs WooCommerce vs custom comparison works the numbers for an Indian store, and the reasoning carries over.

Who is Shopify's biggest competitor?

By number of websites, WordPress, which is what WooCommerce stores run on. W3Techs counted WordPress on 39.6% of all websites on October 24, 2026, against 5.3% for Shopify, 4.2% for Wix and 2.4% for Squarespace. Those figures cover whole site platforms rather than stores alone, so WooCommerce has no line of its own there. For a US store owner choosing today, the realistic alternatives are WooCommerce on your own hosting, Wix or Squarespace for small catalogs, and BigCommerce.

How long does it take to build a Shopify store?

With us, 2⁠–⁠3 weeks on a ready-made theme, 3⁠–⁠5 weeks for a customized theme with a product move, and 4⁠–⁠6 weeks for a custom theme from a finished Figma design. The clock starts once the staff account, the product spreadsheet, your logo and your copy are in, and most delays come from content rather than code. If the store has to open by a fixed date, such as a launch before Black Friday, put that date in the brief.

Do I own my Shopify store if you build it?

Yes. The store is opened in your name, on your Shopify account and your payment details, and we work in it through a staff account you can remove at any time. A custom theme's source code and IP pass to you on final payment, and themes and apps bought from Shopify's stores belong to your store's account. Ask any builder who holds the owner account before you pay anything: it should always be you.

Are you a Shopify Partner?

No. We are not enrolled in Shopify's partner program, so we are not in its directory and can't request collaborator access to a store. We work through a staff account you add in your admin, which Shopify allows on Grow and the plans above it. A store that will run on Basic stays on Grow for the build month and moves down after launch. If a listing in Shopify's partner directory matters to you, hire from there instead.

Which Shopify plan do I need while you build the store?

Grow or a higher plan, for as long as we work inside the store, because Shopify allows no staff accounts on Basic or Starter and a staff account is how we get in. If the store will run on Basic, open it on Grow and change plans after launch; Shopify applies a move down to Basic at the end of the billing cycle. On monthly billing in October 2026, that meant $105 for the build month instead of $39.

How we put this page together

Written with AI help and checked against the sources below on October 25, 2026; Ashish Sharma reviews it before it goes live. Shopify shows prices by the visitor's country, and its pricing page lists rupees when read from India, so the US plan prices, card rates and staff limits come from the Internet Archive's October 24, 2026 copy of shopify.com/pricing, compared with its copies from September 1, October 15 and October 19, 2026. The Shopify Help Center, Theme Store, App Store, Upwork, ECORN and W3Techs figures were read live on October 25, 2026. The $10-sale and first-year tables are our arithmetic on those figures. Every build and care price on this page is ours: the e-commerce band of our USD price list, split into three Shopify tiers in October 2026.
