Some the different Shopify subscription plans are:
Basic Shopify which allows you to sell an unlimited number of product- the cheapest available solution when you have a vast product range. Shopify never limits the number of products or file storage. This plan also includes “Abandoned Cart Recovery”. However, it doesn’t consist of features like gift cards or professional reports.
