class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Plans to Start Your Store On<\/h2> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify savings come from its new-store offer rather than a typed code: a free trial, then a sharply reduced rate on your first three months. That window is long enough to add products, connect payments, and make your first sales before full pricing applies. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/careers-education\/how-does-shopify-work\/\">how Shopify works<\/a> explains the moving parts if you have never run a store before.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-shopify-starter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Starter<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starter is a stripped-down option for creators who sell through social media, messaging apps, or a link in bio. There is no full online store theme, so treat it as a test bed for a few products rather than a brand.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-shopify-basic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Basic<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic is where most new stores belong. You get a full customizable storefront, built-in checkout, discount codes for your own customers, and standard sales reports. Solo founders and side hustles rarely outgrow it in the first year.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-shopify-grow\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Grow<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grow adds staff accounts and lower card processing rates. Move up once you hire help or your monthly sales are high enough that the processing savings start to cover the higher plan fee.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-shopify-advanced\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Advanced<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advanced is built for higher-volume shops that need custom reports, more staff seats, and the lowest processing rates on the standard plans. Enterprise brands go one step further to Shopify Plus, which is quoted separately.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning to sell without holding inventory? Our walkthrough on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/careers-education\/how-to-dropship-on-shopify\/\">how to dropship on Shopify<\/a> shows which apps to set up during your trial so the intro months go to selling, not setup.<\/p> <div class=\"mhx\"> <h2 class=\"mhx-h2\" id=\"h-how-we-verified-this-shopify-deal\">How We Verified This Shopify Deal<\/h2> <div class=\"mhx-verify\"> <p>We follow each Shopify card through a fresh signup, check that the trial starts without a card on file, and keep the offer only when the plan selection screen shows the reduced intro rate for the first three months.<\/p> <ul> <li><strong>Live offers<\/strong> showed the intro rate on our latest pass. A proof screenshot may not be attached yet.<\/li> <li><strong>Verified offers<\/strong> include a View proof image of the Shopify plan screen with the offer applied.<\/li> <li><strong>Star ratings<\/strong> come from readers who opened a store through the card. New cards start at zero.<\/li> <li>When Shopify changes the shape of its new-store offer, we update the card the same week.<\/li> <\/ul> <\/div> <h2 class=\"mhx-h2\" id=\"h-how-to-claim-a-shopify-promo-code\">How to Claim a Shopify Promo Code<\/h2> <p>The offer attaches to your new store account, so start from the card instead of going to Shopify directly.<\/p> <ol class=\"mhx-steps\"> <li><strong>Open the card above.<\/strong> Click the deal button and Shopify opens its signup page with the offer attached.<\/li> <li><strong>Create your account.<\/strong> Enter an email, answer the short setup questions, and name your store.<\/li> <li><strong>Build during the free trial.<\/strong> Add products, pick a theme, and connect a payment provider before the trial ends.<\/li> <li><strong>Select a plan.<\/strong> Choose Basic, Grow, or Advanced. The reduced rate covers your first three months on that plan.<\/li> <li><strong>Add billing details<\/strong> and complete checkout to keep the store live past the trial.<\/li> <\/ol> <h2 class=\"mhx-h2\" id=\"h-two-ways-to-keep-shopify-costs-down\">Two Ways to Keep Shopify Costs Down<\/h2> <p>The new-store offer handles the first few months. After that, the savings come from how you bill and how you take payments.<\/p> <div class=\"mhx-seasons\"> <div class=\"mhx-season\"><strong>Switch to annual billing<\/strong>Paying yearly lowers the monthly rate on Basic, Grow, and Advanced. Make the switch once the store has proven itself.<\/div> <div class=\"mhx-season\"><strong>Use Shopify Payments<\/strong>Third-party payment gateways add an extra transaction fee on top of card processing. Shopify Payments avoids it.<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"mhx-mbar\"><span class=\"mhx-mbar-txt\">Shopify deal above<\/span><a href=\"#shopify-promo-code\">View deal<\/a><\/div> <\/div> <h2 id=\"h-faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2> <h3 id=\"h-does-shopify-have-promo-codes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Shopify have promo codes?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify discounts its plans through a new-store offer rather than codes typed at checkout. Opening the card on this page starts that offer: a free trial followed by a reduced rate on your first three months.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-which-shopify-plans-does-the-intro-offer-cover\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Shopify plans does the intro offer cover?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The offer applies to the standard monthly plans: Basic, Grow, and Advanced. Shopify Plus is priced through a sales quote, so it sits outside the new-store deal.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-what-happens-when-the-intro-months-end\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens when the intro months end?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your plan rolls over to its regular monthly rate. If the store is working by then, switching to annual billing brings the effective monthly cost back down.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-do-i-need-a-credit-card-for-the-shopify-free-trial\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a credit card for the Shopify free trial?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The trial starts with just an email address. Shopify asks for billing details only when you pick a plan to keep the store running after the trial.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-can-i-use-my-own-domain-with-shopify\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use my own domain with Shopify?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Every store gets a free myshopify.com address, and you can buy a domain through Shopify or connect one you already own. Hosting is included in every plan, which is one of the key differences covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/careers-education\/domain-vs-hosting\/\">domain vs hosting<\/a>.<\/p> <h3 id=\"h-is-shopify-worth-it-for-a-small-business\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Shopify worth it for a small business?<\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most small sellers, yes. Hosting, security, checkout, and payment processing come bundled, so you spend your time on products and marketing instead of server upkeep. The intro offer lets you test that trade-off on a live store before paying full price.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Verified Shopify promo deal: start with a free trial, then get a low intro rate on your first three months.
