Plan selection

Start with business requirements, then compare price

The right plan is not simply the cheapest one. Choose the lowest-cost option that supports today’s operating requirements without buying complexity too early.

01

Solo operator

Confirm whether the core store, product, order and marketing capabilities are sufficient. Staff accounts are rarely the first constraint.

Compare first: Basic
02

Collaborative team

When operations, support, content and fulfilment are divided among people, staff access and permission management begin to affect efficiency.

Compare first: Grow
03

International expansion

When market structure, shipping, reporting and team requirements become more complex, evaluate the operational value of Advanced.

Compare first: Advanced
04

Enterprise complexity

Advanced checkout, B2B, multiple entities or stronger governance requirements should trigger an enterprise evaluation.

Compare first: Plus
Total cost

The subscription is only one part of the budget
