Set up store without being forced to pay

Can I set up the store without having to choose a paid plan?

I don’t have a problem with paying for a plan once the store goes live but I’d like to spend a bit of time learning all the features and setting everything up first.

Shopify offers a 14-day free trial that allows you to explore the platform’s features and set up your store before choosing a plan.

After the 14-day free trial, you’ll need to select a paid plan to continue using the platform. Shopify offers different plans to fit different business needs and budgets, so you can choose the plan that works best for you.

In your case, I think you can try Shopify Basic for $1, which is one of Shopify’s most basic plans. You are allowed to pay $1 for the first three months and can start building your online store on the Shopify platform.

Hi there @johnsmith42 !

You can always check out the most up-to-date offers in terms of the free trial period and initial paid plans here on our pricing page.

If you’d like further time to work on your store beyond this, you can check out our Pause and Build plan which would allow you to do just that!

Could you tell me a bit about your business and what you’re working on at the moment so we can help out?
