The calculator only applies this rate card: €289/month on Advanced, €2,100/month on Plus, 1.6% + €0.30 on Shopify Payments Advanced, 1.0% + €0.25 on Shopify Payments Plus, a 0.6% third-party PSP surcharge on Advanced, and €79/month/location for Shopify POS Pro on Advanced versus €0/month on Plus.
Advanced starts at 289€/month, Plus starts at 2,100€/month. The actual gap depends on revenue, average order value, payment mix and POS Pro locations: Shopify Payments is calculated at 1.6% + 0.30€ on Advanced and 1% + 0.25€ on Plus, the third-party PSP surcharge is 0.6% on Advanced, and Shopify POS Pro costs 79€/month per location on Advanced versus 0€/month on Plus.
When you process payments through a third-party PSP (Stripe, PayPal…) instead of Shopify Payments, Shopify applies an additional 0.6% surcharge on every transaction on the Advanced plan. In this simulator, that surcharge is shown as 0€ on Plus when Shopify Payments is enabled.
No. This simulator only applies the rate card shown on the page: Plus subscription at 2,100€/month, Shopify Payments Plus at 1% + 0.25€, and POS Pro included at 0€/month.
The break-even point depends on your payment mix and average order value. Use the sliders in this simulator to find the exact monthly revenue at which Plus becomes more cost-effective than Advanced in your scenario.
Yes for Advanced — based on Shopify Payments France rates as of April 2026. Plus rates are indicative and negotiable depending on volume and contract.
Shopify Plus mainly unlocks advanced capabilities for merchants with complex workflows: checkout customization with Checkout Extensibility, blocks and apps on key checkout steps, payment and delivery rules through Shopify Functions, and native B2B with companies, catalogs, payment terms, and dedicated purchasing flows. These benefits are not priced in this simulator, but they can justify Plus even when the pure cost gap remains positive.
The calculator gives you the monthly cost. It does not value Plus product benefits such as B2B, multi-store setups, Flow, or extensible checkout. If the delta becomes strategic, we can challenge the right plan together.
