Before You Commit to Shopify + Apps
A calm decision kit for people who want to know the real monthly “rent” of running a Shopify store — before they lock into plans, themes, and app stacks.
What this helps you do
- Estimate your true monthly cost (plan + apps + upgrades + supporting tools)
- Spot app/theme traps that quietly create rent creep
- Decide: Shopify now, Shopify later, or not for your stage
- Walk away with a simple, maintainable stack plan
This is for you if…
- You’re about to start a store and want cost clarity before you commit
- You want Shopify’s power without accidental complexity
- You’d rather stay reversible until you have real signal
This is NOT for you if…
- You want click-by-click setup instructions
- You want guaranteed sales or a business system
- You want a list of “best apps/themes”
What’s inside
