In this article
Shopify pricing Canada starts at $37 CAD a month for the Basic plan on yearly billing, or $49 CAD a month billed monthly, on Shopify’s Canada pricing page on October 21, 2026. Grow is $99 or $132 CAD and Advanced is $389 or $517 CAD. The page does not say whether tax is included.
Quick verdict
Basic fits a new Canadian store with one owner. It costs $37 CAD a month on yearly billing or $49 CAD month to month (Canada page, CAD, October 2026). Grow at $99 CAD adds 5 staff accounts and a lower card rate, but at $60 CAD per order that rate saves only about 12 cents an order, so staff accounts are the usual reason to move up.
Skip Basic if you need staff logins: the Canada page lists no additional staff accounts on Basic. Skip Plus unless your store is large; it starts at $3,400 CAD a month.

Do Shopify prices include GST, HST or PST?
The Canada pricing page does not say whether plan prices include tax (as of October 2026). Shopify’s help page says a Canadian store’s subscription might be charged applicable taxes, such as HST, PST or GST, based on your billing address. Check the total at checkout.
The same page says that since January 1, 2026, 7% Manitoba Retail Sales Tax applies to Shopify charges for Manitoba merchants. Merchants who qualify for a tax exemption contact Shopify Support, and an exemption covers future invoices only. Shopify Support cannot advise on tax, so ask an accountant.
Your own sales are a separate question. The Canada Revenue Agency says the small supplier limit for most businesses is $30,000 in taxable sales. You stop being a small supplier if you pass it in one calendar quarter, or over four consecutive calendar quarters (as of October 2026). Below it, registering for GST/HST is voluntary. Ask the CRA or an accountant about your own case.
How much does Shopify charge per sale in Canada?
With Shopify Payments, the standard online card rate is 2.8% + 30¢ CAD on Basic, 2.6% + 30¢ on Grow, 2.4% + 30¢ on Advanced and 2.15% + 30¢ on Plus (Canada page, as of October 2026). In-person rates are 2.6%, 2.5%, 2.4% and 2.4%, with 0¢ fixed.
If you use another payment provider, the page lists an extra transaction fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus, on top of what that provider charges. To compare providers, read how to choose a Shopify payment gateway. POS Pro is an add-on at $119 CAD a month per location on the same page.
Hypothetical $60 CAD online sale paid by card through Shopify Payments, October 2026 Canada rates.
| Plan | Arithmetic | Fee (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 2.8% x $60 + $0.30 = $1.68 + $0.30 | $1.98 |
| Grow | 2.6% x $60 + $0.30 = $1.56 + $0.30 | $1.86 |
| Advanced | 2.4% x $60 + $0.30 = $1.44 + $0.30 | $1.74 |
At 100 such orders a month on yearly billing, Basic costs 100 x $1.98 + $37 = $235 CAD and Grow costs 100 x $1.86 + $99 = $285 CAD. Grow saves $0.12 an order and costs $62 more a month ($99 minus $37), so it breaks even at about 517 orders ($62 / $0.12).
Which plan should a Canadian store pick?
Start on Basic if you run the store alone. Move up when you need staff logins, because the card-rate savings alone take hundreds of orders a month to cover the plan gap. Read Shopify Basic plan cost and limits first.
Grow adds up to 5 staff accounts; see Shopify Grow plan pricing. Advanced raises staff accounts to 15 and cuts the online rate to 2.4% + 30¢; see Shopify Advanced plan pricing. Plus starts at $3,400 CAD a month and adds unlimited staff accounts and 200 locations; see Shopify Plus plan pricing.
Billing term over 12 months: Basic costs 12 x $37 = $444 CAD yearly against 12 x $49 = $588 CAD monthly, a gap of $144 CAD. Grow costs 12 x $99 = $1,188 CAD against 12 x $132 = $1,584 CAD, a gap of $396 CAD. The page shows the per-month figure for yearly billing; check at checkout how the year is charged.

What else does a Canadian store pay for?
Beyond the plan, a store pays for a domain, apps and themes it chooses to add, and card fees. We give no figures for these here; the guides below carry them.
