The One
Shopify Basic
A storefront with checkout is what it sells. Basic comes with 10 inventory locations and no additional staff accounts; Grow adds up to 5 staff accounts and Advanced up to 15 and live third-party shipping rates. The third-party transaction fee falls the same way, 2% on Basic to 1% on Grow to 0.6% on Advanced, and Shopify states it only applies when the payment goes through a provider other than Shopify Payments. We have not read a US price: Shopify's pricing page localises by region and served us the Hong Kong figures.
