Hi Chandr,

It’s not an error, just A/B testing different deals. If you want the 6 Month trial, you will need to sign up through Shopify: (Sign up Page: Shopify 6 Month Trial).

Thanks.

Hi @Chandr ,

It looks like there’s a difference in the trial periods because Shopify sometimes runs different promotional offers depending on the time or region. Typically, Shopify offers a 3-day free trial, and then a 3-month trial for $1/month for certain plans (Basic, Grow, Advanced).

However, some special promotions may offer a longer 6-month trial, depending on the specific campaign, affiliate, or region you’re in.

Best,
Felix

Hey Chandr, Shopify is always testing their offerings, but currently the 90 day trial is the best you can get. You can get a 90 day trial via this link; Create your online store today with Shopify . Good luck building your business!

Shopify sometimes offers different trial lengths depending on where you sign up from. The link you used gave a 3-month trial, but the official promo page now shows a 3-month offer. You can try signing up again through this Shopify free trial link to get the latest deal.
