Shopify Pricing in India: Plans, Fees and Real Cost
Shopify pricing in India for 2026: plan prices in rupees, monthly charges, payment fees, build ranges and the costs that quotes tend to leave out.
A Shopify store in India has two bills: the build, which you pay once, and the running cost, which you pay every month. Most quotes only cover the first, so brands tend to find the second after launch.
Shopify plans and monthly charges in India
These are the plan prices on Shopify’s India pricing page on 3 November 2026. Check the page before you budget, because they change. Shopify was also offering a 3-day free trial, then ₹20 a month for 3 months.
| Plan | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | Third-party payment fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹1,499/month | ₹1,994/month | 2% |
| Grow | ₹5,599/month | ₹7,447/month | 1% |
| Advanced | ₹22,680/month | ₹30,164/month | 0.6% |
| Plus | Not listed | From ₹1,75,000/month | 0.2% |
The last column is the one people miss. Shopify charges that fee on each sale made through a third-party payment provider, and your payment gateway’s own fee comes on top of it. Shopify Payments is not available in India, so this fee applies to online payments here. Our payment gateway guide adds the two together.
Which plan is cheaper at your sales volume
A higher plan costs more each month and takes a smaller cut of each sale, so there is a sales figure where it starts to pay for itself. On yearly billing, Grow costs ₹4,100 a month more than Basic and saves 1% of sales, which makes the break-even ₹4.1 lakh in monthly sales. Advanced costs ₹17,081 a month more than Grow and saves 0.4%, so that break-even is about ₹42.7 lakh.
Here is the sum for a store selling ₹5 lakh a month, or ₹60 lakh a year:
| Plan | Plan cost per year | Third-party fee per year | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹17,988 | ₹1,20,000 | ₹1,37,988 |
| Grow | ₹67,188 | ₹60,000 | ₹1,27,188 |
Grow works out ₹10,800 a year cheaper here, even though its plan price is nearly four times higher. These totals leave out your gateway’s fee, which is the same on either plan, and any plan features you might also want.
What a build costs
Guides published by Indian agencies put a basic Shopify store at about ₹25,000 to ₹60,000. For a small catalogue on a standard theme, with little to connect, that can be a fair price.
Our own typical range is ₹3.5 to ₹8 lakh for a store build or migration, and ₹8 to ₹20 lakh for a Shopify Plus build, both before 18% GST. Your price is the fixed quote we send in writing. We publish the range so you can tell early whether we are a fit for your budget.
These are the things that move a quote most:
- Catalogue size and how many variants each product has
- Whether existing products, customers and orders have to move from another platform
- A custom theme, compared with configuring an existing one
- Connections to other systems, such as an ERP, shipping or WhatsApp
- How much cross-device and order-flow testing is included before launch
Costs that quotes tend to leave out
Apps are usually the biggest one. Many bill monthly, and a store can collect several without anyone adding up the total or checking what they do to page speed. Our guide to auditing Shopify apps covers how to review them.
After launch, someone also has to fix things, make changes and watch the store. That might be your own team, a freelancer or a retainer. Our retainers start from ₹90,000 a month, so ask any agency you speak to what support costs after handover and what it covers.
Moving from another platform adds its own work, including redirects for your old URLs. Our WooCommerce to Shopify migration guide goes through it.
Five questions for every quote
Is the price fixed? Does it include GST? Who owns the theme code and accounts? Which apps will the store need, and what will they cost each month? What does support cost after launch?
