Shopify Inc. is raising prices for three of its service plans after they remained “largely unchanged” for 12 years.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce technology company says its basic plan will now cost $51 per month, up from $38, while its mid-range Shopify plan will move from $99 per month to $132 and its advanced plan will increase from $389 each month to $517.
Existing merchants that switch their plan from monthly to yearly terms will keep the current, lower monthly prices before the new rates take effect on April 23.
