This is the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lite\u00e2\u20ac\u009d membership level, which is offered for just $9 a month. But what does this actually give you? Is this membership enough for you to actually make money with e-commerce? We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll explore what you get with the Lite membership and who it is appropriate for to decide if you can stick with the $9 a month level or if you need to upgrade.<\/p>\n<h3>General information<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing that you need to know about this membership level is that it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually include <strong>a<\/strong> Shopify store. This is difficult to understand until you realize that it does allow you to use the integrated social media buy buttons that are included with Shopify. However, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not able to create a store with your products in it. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get to which other features are missing from this membership plan in a moment.<\/p>\n<h3>Fees<\/h3>\n<p>The next thing that we will want to discuss <del><\/del> are the fees and costs that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll pay when you have this membership level. Obviously, there is the membership fee, or the cost of your monthly Shopify plan, which is <del><\/del> $9 a month. The credit card transaction rates are exactly the same for the lowest membership level as they are for the next level up which is $29 a month. As you move up the scale those fees go down. The transaction fees that come with the membership levels are also the same for both this membership and for the $29 a month \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Basic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d level. So, when it comes to fees, there is no reason to move up to the next membership level but if you find you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing a huge amount of volume you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll lose a lot of money on processing fees and transaction fees if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t upgrade.<\/p>\n<h3>Other features<\/h3>\n<p>Some of the other features that you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get access to by using the lowest level might be a good reason to upgrade at least to the $29 a month level. For example, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get access to Twitter or Pinterest integration but you do get Facebook. Since Pinterest is a very good marketing tool for real world products, and you can incorporate a buy button with the next level it might be advisable to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]Many people that are starting to work with Shopify for the first time wonder about the very first membership level that Shopify&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261,283,282,1,25,26],"tags":[358,286,354,284,353,355,352,314,349,357,24,351,350,356],"class_list":["post-17214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-business","category-ecommerce","category-shopify","category-uncategorized","category-web-design","category-wordpress","tag-brick-and-mortar","tag-ecommerce","tag-entry-level-shopify","tag-shopify","tag-shopify-basics","tag-shopify-for-beginners","tag-shopify-help","tag-shopify-plus","tag-shopify-solutions","tag-themes","tag-web-design","tag-web-updates","tag-websites","tag-wordpres-or-shopify"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Should You Start Out With A \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lite\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Shopify Membership?
