Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Shopify, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Shopify. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Source replaced, price unchanged. https://ecommerce-platforms.com/articles/shopify-pricing answers 301 and lands on https://ecommerce-platforms.com/articles/shopify-pricing-starter-vs-basic-vs-professional-vs-unlimited-which-plan-is-best-for-you — the same page at the address the site now uses. The figure is unchanged and still stands on the day it was read; only the link the reader follows is corrected, so it no longer bounces through a redirect. Same host, same scheme, and the destination keeps every distinguishing word of the page's own name.

This standing as a plaque
Shopify currently holds a gold deskmark here — Rank 1 of 7 · Digital Product Sales. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Shopify moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
