Shopify’s India site publishes rupee prices. Those numbers are the subscription, not the full cost of selling. You still pay GST, a payment gateway and Shopify’s third-party fee on most prepaid orders. Theme work is a different invoice.

Most new shops start on Basic. Upgrade when staff seats, reports or the third-party fee save more than the extra subscription. Model selling fees on your expected prepaid volume. Do not pick Advanced because the name sounds serious.
Plan prices (India site, September 2026)
On the public India pricing page at review time, monthly billing showed about Rs.1,994 for Basic, Rs.7,447 for Grow and Rs.30,164 for Advanced. Yearly billing showed about Rs.1,499, Rs.5,599 and Rs.22,680 per month. Shopify Plus was listed from about Rs.1,75,000 per month. Shopify’s Plus page also listed a higher starting number on a one-year term. Terms vary. Talk to Shopify for Plus.
India has also run a short trial and a cheap first few months. Read the end date. The table below is standard pricing, not a launch promo.

The fee India stores pay on top of the gateway
When you do not use Shopify Payments, Shopify charges a third-party transaction fee. Shopify’s help centre says the rate depends on the plan. On the official India POS pricing page at review time, third-party payment provider fees showed 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced. Recheck that line. It can change.
Your gateway still charges its own rate. NP SoftTech partners for Razorpay, Cashfree and PhonePe. We do not publish their current MDR here because those contracts differ. Ask the gateway for a written rate card.
Manual methods such as COD are treated differently from card or UPI through a gateway. Do not assume the third-party fee applies to every rupee of GMV. Check Shopify’s current billing help for your payment types.
Which plan is enough
Basic is enough for a founder, a standard theme and a first catalogue. Grow is the usual step when you need more staff accounts or you are paying enough third-party fee that 1% beats 2% on real prepaid volume. Advanced is for stores that actually use the extra reports, markets or checkout options. Plus is a sales conversation, not a website add-to-cart.
Do the arithmetic on your prepaid sales, not on a blog’s “upgrade at Rs.4 lakh” rule. Your COD mix changes the break-even.
| If this is true | Look at |
|---|---|
| First store, one operator, standard theme | Basic |
| Team logins or the 2% fee is getting loud | Grow, after you do the maths |
| You need Advanced-only reports or markets | Advanced, for those features, not the logo |
| Complex B2B or high volume | Plus, scoped with Shopify |
What this page does not price
Themes, apps, photos and developer time sit in how much it costs to build a Shopify store in India. How the platform works is in what Shopify is. Hostinger is not a cheaper Shopify plan. It is a different product. See Hostinger vs Shopify if you are mixing those two tabs.
We can talk through scope on Shopify development. We will not pretend a plan upgrade replaces a slow theme. Send the store or the product list.
