On Shopify, you don’t have to wait until the end of the plan you are currently on to sign up for another. If you are a beginner who is on a trial version and would like to sign up for a new plan, or if you are thinking about replacing the plan you are currently on with a new one, Shopify allows you to end your current plan and start a new one right from your Desktop.

Caution:

If you switch from a monthly plan (Shopify monthly or Basic Shopify monthly) to an annual plan, and the monthly plan you are on uses calculated shipping, then a new contract between your store and Shopify will be started, which means that your shipping carrier information will be reset and you will have to re-provide your account details for each carrier.

If you want to change your plan on Shopify, follow the instructions below.
