When to upgrade your business plan depends primarily on your revenue and business needs. The key factors to consider are transaction fees, sales volume, and required features.

Business Plan to Commerce Basic Upgrade

Consider upgrading from Business to Commerce Basic when:

• Your annual revenue exceeds $3,200
• You want to eliminate the 3% transaction fee
• You need advanced analytics and product management tools

The Commerce Basic Plan costs $48 more annually than the Business Plan, but eliminates transaction fees entirely. If your annual sales exceed $1,600 ($130 monthly), the savings on transaction fees will offset the higher plan cost.

Commerce Basic to Commerce Advanced Upgrade

Upgrade to Commerce Advanced if you need:

• Subscription product capabilities
• Advanced shipping options
• Automated marketing tools including:
  • Checkout abandonment recovery
  • Automatic discounts
  • Enhanced product promotion features

Cost Considerations

The optimal plan depends on your sales volume:

• Business Plan: Best for low-volume sellers with basic needs
• Commerce Basic: Cost-effective for annual sales over $3,200
• Commerce Advanced: Ideal for subscription-based businesses and complex operations

Plan changes can be made anytime, with costs prorated based on your current plan's remaining time. When upgrading, you'll only pay the difference between plans for the remaining period.

Note: All plan changes are flexible and can be adjusted as your business grows. Review your sales volume and feature needs regularly to ensure you're on the most cost-effective plan for your business.

You can compare plans side-by-side on the pricing page to evaluate specific features and determine which plan best suits your current needs.
