Shopify has announced it has increased all merchant plans in a press release, obtained by our media team, “When Shopify was started in 2006, it was a novel product with a novel idea: to provide the best Commerce tools in the world to all merchants of all sizes, to make Commerce better for everyone,” said Kaz Nejatian, Shopify’s VP of Product and Chief Operating Officer. “A lot has changed since then, but a few things haven’t: why we do it and who we do it for. Today, after much deliberation, we’re announcing a change in favor of better serving our mission and our merchants: We are updating our pricing for Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans.”
