Basic Shopify plan features
In addition to the features available on all plans, the Basic Shopify plan offers the following features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Online store | With the Basic Shopify plan or higher, you can create and customize an online store for your products, and manage it through the Shopify admin. You can change the appearance of your store by using Shopify's built-in theme editor. |
| Competitive transaction fees | The Basic Shopify plan offers competitive transaction fees. Review Shopify's pricing page to find the specific transaction fees under plans in your region. |
| Blog | Your online store comes with a built-in blogging engine, which you can use to publish articles, update your customers about events and promotions, and get comments and feedback from your customers. |
| Staff | The Basic Shopify plan supports two staff accounts. |
| SSL certificates | An SSL certificate is a security protocol that creates a safe connection between a server and a browser to keep your and your customers’ information secure. With Shopify, you can activate SSL certificates to encrypt your online store's content and publish it securely using 'HTTPS' instead of 'HTTP'. This displays the SSL padlock icon beside your online store's URL in the address bar. |
| Reports | You can track your business performance using reports. The Basic plan comes with the analytics page, finances reports, product analytics, Live View, acquisition reports, inventory reports, behavior reports, and marketing reports. |
