Method and sources
Checked on
This comparison was made on 27 October 2026 from Shopify's publicly available pages (sources in each table row and below). Plans are compared on yearly billing, as the monthly average excluding VAT; monthly prices are shown beside them. Transaction and payment provider fees, and the cost of separately paid apps, are included only where stated. We chose the points from features that matter to Hungarian online shops; the list is not exhaustive. Shopify's plans, prices and features may change, so their own pages are authoritative. If you spot an error, write to hello@poltura.com and we will correct it. Shopify is a trade mark of its owner; Poltura is not affiliated with Shopify's operator.
