How Much Does Shopify Cost in Chile: Plans, Fees, and the Real Price

Shopify has four plans. The most common one for getting started costs around $25 USD per month — less than many people expect. But that's not the real cost of running a store.

How much do Shopify plans cost?

Plan	Monthly price (USD)	Approx. CLP (Chilean pesos)
Basic	US$25	~$22,000–$27,000
Grow	US$65	~$57,000–$70,000
Advanced	US$399	~$350,000+
Plus	US$2,300	Large enterprises

For most new stores in Chile, the Basic plan is enough to get started.

What additional costs should you factor in?

Per-sale fees

If you use an external payment provider (like Transbank or Mercado Pago, which are the standard options in Chile), Shopify charges an additional commission on each sale:

• Basic: ~2%
• Grow: ~1%
• Advanced: ~0.6%

On top of that, the payment provider itself charges between 2.9% and 3.5% per transaction.

Apps

Most stores need at least one or two apps to run properly — email marketing, reviews, discounts, etc. Budget between US$10 and US$50 extra per month.

Premium theme (optional but common): between US$150 and US$350 as a one-time payment.

Domain: between $10,000 and $15,000 CLP per year (roughly US$10–15).

What does a Shopify store in Chile actually cost per month?

A basic store up and running (plan + essential apps + domain) costs between $40,000 and $80,000 CLP per month (roughly US$40–80), not counting advertising.

Is it worth the cost?

Shopify isn't expensive. The real problem isn't the price of the platform — it's believing that paying for the subscription is enough to start selling. A store with a strong value proposition, clear products, and targeted traffic turns that cost into an investment.
