Does a Shopify Plus contract's '9 expansion stores' allowance count toward the same variable-platform-fee revenue calculation as the main store, or are expansion stores priced independently of GMV?
Shopify prices the Plus contract, not the individual store. The main store and 9 expansion stores are "included as part of your monthly platform fee," and stores beyond ten cost "$300 USD per month per store, or a revenue share across all stores" (per shopify.com/plus/pricing, September 2026). Shopify publishes no percentage for that revenue share and no GMV threshold.
