Shopify's expenses and packages in Thailand
One of the most popular questions about Shopify that Thai entrepreneurs often wonder about is how the Shopify cost is structured and packaged for the Thai market. What are some and how are each of them different? Let’s find out at the same time.
Price structure and packages available
The main cost of Shopify for users in Thailand is divided into monthly package costs as follows:
- Shopify Lite $9/month – already sold through websites and social media
- Basic Shopify $29/Month – Ideal for small online businesses
- Shopify $79/month – for growing businesses
- Advanced Shopify $299/Month – for Large Businesses
How? However, if you buy an annual package, you can save another 10% and if you want to get a paid package, contact Shopify Thailand for a quote and other packages such as Transaction Fee, Advertising Credit. Ask Shopify Thailand or our partners for clarification.
Cost and cost-effectiveness calculation
In addition to the monthly package fee, what must be used to calculate the cost of using Shopify is as follows:
- Shopify theme value if not free (starting $50-200)
- Value of additional applications such as Affiliate, Chatbot, Reviews (starting $5-100/month)
- Advertising and sales promotions to make the store known.
- Credit card fees are 2-3 percent for online payment.
How? Compared to the cost of web development and maintenance, Shopify is a great value. It has the same features and capabilities as a web investment of 100,000 baht and has the support of our 24-hour team. We believe Shopify is the best choice for e-commerce in Thailand today.
