1 - How much does the Shopify Plus License costs?

I see a lot of confusion about this topic, so I’m here to clarify it for you:

✅ $2,000/month OR
✅ 0.25% of month revenue after it surpasses $800,000/month
✅ PLUS 0.15% of card processing fees in case you use a different gateway than Shopify Payments
✅ The fee caps at $40,000/month when you reach $16 million/month sales

Once you reach around $40 million/month in sales it’s time to start considering the next Enterprise level that Shopify offers: Commerce Components.
