How can I upgrade or downgrade my subscription to a different plan? (Shopify Classic Admin)

To do this you must be logged in as the Account Owner, and then click on Account in the upper right of your store admin.

Note: Your account assets must match the plan you are switching to, example if you have 200 SKUs and the plan you wish to switch to only allows 100 you must remove enough SKUs to qualify for that plan.

At the time you upgrade or downgrade, an invoice is generated automatically to close the current billing cycle. That invoice is pro-rated: it will likely amount to less than what you have paid before for a full month of subscription. A new billing cycle begins on the new plan with a new subscription fee.

To change your Shopify plan, you must be logged in to your store as the Account Owner, as only he or she has access to the necessary section of the shop admin. Once you are logged in as the Account Owner, click on the Settings tab in your admin panel, and then select "Account."

Click the "Change plan type" button. You'll see four different Shopify plan options.

Note: Your account assets must match the plan you are switching to. For example, if you have 200 SKUs and the plan you wish to switch to only allows 100 SKUs, you must remove enough SKUs to qualify for that plan.

Click on the "Sign up for..." button of the plan you wish to register for.

That's it! You've upgraded or downgraded to a new Shopify plan.

When you upgrade or downgrade your plan, an invoice will be instantly generated to close your current billing cycle (but don't worry, a new billing cycle will have begun for your new plan). This invoice is pro-rated, and so it will likely amount to less than what you have paid before for a full month of subscription.
