Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Transaction fees on top of monthly subscription
Shopify charges 2.5-2.9% + 30¢ per transaction on credit cards. Additional 0.6-2% fee if using third-party payment gateways. Combined with monthly plans ($29-299), total costs add up quickly for high-volume stores.
Essential features locked behind expensive apps
Many basic functions outsourced to third-party apps that cost extra monthly. Premium apps needed to unlock features stores need. App costs stack up quickly - some merchants pay more in apps than base subscription.
No refunds on fees when orders are cancelled
Shopify no longer refunds transaction fees when orders are cancelled or refunded. This represents huge cost to vendors dealing with returns. Policy change hit merchants without warning.
