Shopify is running a time-limited promotion during which you can earn up to $10,000 credits. How does it work and how to sign up?

How to get Shopify trial for $1 and earn up to $10,000 in credits

If you are considering starting your online business on Shopify, now is a great time. If you sign up by October 2, 2024, you can earn up to $10,000 in credits, which you can use to pay for your subscription. The free trial is a standard 3 days, and the first month is for $1 (no change here).

How does the GMV promotion work

For every sale, you will get 1% to your account in the form of Shopify credits. Credits can be used for Shopify subscription payments only (not for apps!) for the first 6 months. Effectively, you can get Shopify for free for 6 months.

Shopify credit vs. sales calculator

For example, if your sales in the first month are $10,000, you will get $100 in your account. Unused credits will be transferred to your next billing cycle.

All Shopify plans, except Shopify Plus, are eligible to be part of the GMV promotion, but the credit limits are different:

  • Shopify Basic plan can earn up to $5,000 in credits
  • Shopify Standard and Retail plans can earn up to $7,500 in credits
  • Shopify Advanced plan can earn up to $10,000 in credits

To learn more, please read the official T&Cs for the promotion.

How to sign up

To sign up for the promotion, simply go to the Shopify free trial landing page and enter your email address. If you are eligible for the promotion, you should see the same "calculator" as above.
