How Much Does It Cost to Start a Shopify Store in 2025?

The average Shopify store costs $150–$400/month to run if you’re using paid apps for page builders, copywriting, upsells, and image tools. But with Atlas AI, you can launch a conversion-optimized store in minutes—without stacking 5+ subscriptions.

The Basic Costs of Starting a Shopify Store

1. Shopify Plan

Basic Shopify: $39/month
Shopify (Standard): $105/month
Advanced Shopify: $399/month

💡 Most new stores start with the Basic plan, which is plenty.

2. Domain Name

$12–$20/year (via Shopify or GoDaddy)

The “Hidden” Costs Most Beginners Don’t Realize

To make your store actually work and convert, most people end up stacking these:

📉 Total: $121–$250/month extra, not including ads, email tools, or influencer spend.
