Commerce transaction fees can significantly impact your bottom line. Upgrading from a Business to Commerce Basic plan eliminates these fees and becomes cost-effective once your annual sales exceed $1,600 USD (approximately $130 monthly).

Consider upgrading to Commerce Basic when you:

• Generate over $3,200 USD in annual revenue
• Need professional analytics tools
• Want to track sales by product
• Require purchase funnel analysis
• Need advanced store management features

Upgrade to Commerce Advanced if you:

• Want to sell subscription products
• Need complex shipping options
• Require advanced marketing features like:
  • Abandoned checkout recovery
  • Automatic discounts
  • Advanced promotional tools

Cost Comparison:

• Business Plan: 3% transaction fee on all sales
• Commerce Basic: $48 USD more annually than Business plan, but no transaction fees
• Break-even point: $1,600 annual sales

To calculate potential savings:

1. Add up your annual sales
2. Calculate 3% of total sales (current transaction fees)
3. Compare this amount to the plan price difference ($48 USD)
4. If transaction fees exceed $48, upgrading saves money

All plans include core features like:

• Custom domain connection
• SSL security
• Mobile optimization
• 24/7 customer support

You can upgrade at any time and pay a prorated amount based on your current plan's remaining time. Your site automatically transfers to the new plan with all content intact.
