How Much Shopify Costs in Algeria in 2026
The cheapest Shopify plan costs 32 US dollars a month, or 24 dollars a month if you pay for a whole year at once. At the Bank of Algeria rate for 7 September 2026, which is 133.20 dinars to the dollar, 32 dollars is about 4,262 dinars.
DZBuild publishes this article, and we sell an Algerian store platform, so we are one of the options priced here. Every Shopify figure below was read from a Shopify page on 7 or 8 September 2026, and the page and the reading date are named each time.
What Shopify costs per month in 2026
Shopify does not publish a pricing page for Algeria. We asked for shopify.com/dz/pricing on 7 September 2026 and the server answered Not Found. The price you see depends on which country page Shopify sends you to.
We read three of its country pages that day. The table below is the United Arab Emirates page, the closest Arab market page Shopify publishes.
| Plan | Pay monthly | Pay yearly, per month | Fee if you use another payment provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 32 USD | 24 USD | 2% |
| Grow | 92 USD | 69 USD | 1% |
| Advanced | 399 USD | 299 USD | 0.6% |
| Plus | from 2,300 USD | not shown | 0.2% |
The other two pages showed a cheaper first plan. On the Nigeria page, Basic was 27 dollars monthly and 19 dollars yearly. On the Philippines page it was 25 and 19. Advanced and Plus carried the same prices on all three pages.
The offer line on all three read: "Try 3 days free, then $1/month for 3 months." Shopify's own FAQ on the same page says there are no setup fees on any plan.
What those plans cost in dinars
Two rates matter, and they are far apart.
The Bank of Algeria published 133.20 dinars for one US dollar on its daily table dated 07-09-2026. Most merchants do not buy dollars at that rate. The tracker dinarsquare.com showed 235 dinars to sell one dollar at 23:50 on the same day. That site is a private tracker, not an official source, so treat the second column as an indication.
| What you pay each month | At 133.20 DZD | At 235 DZD |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify Basic, 32 USD | 4,262 DZD | 7,520 DZD |
| Shopify Grow, 92 USD | 12,254 DZD | 21,620 DZD |
| Shopify Advanced, 399 USD | 53,147 DZD | 93,765 DZD |
| DZBuild Pro, 1,000 DZD | 1,000 DZD | 1,000 DZD |
Paying Shopify Basic for a year at once is 288 dollars in one charge. That is about 38,362 dinars at the official rate. Check the rate on the day you pay, because it moves.
How you would pay Shopify from Algeria
Shopify charges the subscription to a payment method you save in your account. Its help page on payment methods names a credit card or a PayPal account. The same page says your bank may place a temporary hold of around 1 US dollar on the card to check it is valid, then release it.
The pricing page FAQ adds one more line: to use PayPal, you must switch your billing currency to USD.
So money leaves your account in a foreign currency, every month, on a card that works outside Algeria. This is the step where most people stop, and it has nothing to do with the plan price.
We tried to open the SATIM and Algérie Poste pages on 7 September 2026 to quote their own rules on using a CIB or EDAHABIA card abroad. Neither page loaded. We are not printing a rule we could not read.
The 3 free days and the 3 months at 1 dollar do not remove that step. They delay it by about three months.
Why Shopify Payments does not work here
Shopify Payments is Shopify's own card product, and it is the one that carries no extra Shopify fee. Its supported-countries page, read on 8 September 2026, lists 40 countries and regions. Algeria is not one of them, and no African country appears on the list.
That costs you twice. You cannot use it. And Shopify charges a fee on your sales when you use a different payment provider. The published rates are 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus, from the same table as the plan prices.
On a 6,000 dinar order, 2% is 120 dinars, on top of whatever the provider itself charges you.
We also tried to read Shopify's help page about cash on delivery that day. The page did not return the section, so this article says nothing about how Shopify handles cash at the door.
What apps and themes add to the bill
The plan price is not the store price.
Shopify's theme store, read on 8 September 2026, offers 24 free themes. Paid themes on that page ran from 180 to 420 US dollars. A 180 dollar theme is about 23,976 dinars at the official rate, and about 42,300 dinars at the tracker rate.
Apps are the part we could not price. The Shopify App Store refused our automated reads on 7 September 2026, so no app price appears in this article. What is worth knowing is the shape of the bill: most apps charge every month, in dollars, on the same card as your plan.
What Shopify does not do for Algerian delivery
Shopify's help page on shipping carriers, read on 7 September 2026, names carriers such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Canada Post and Australia Post. No Algerian delivery company is named on it.
That leaves the parcel work manual. You take the order in Shopify. Then you open your courier's own portal. There you type the customer's name, phone number, address, items and the amount to collect, one order at a time. A mistyped phone number becomes a failed delivery you still pay for.
DZBuild handles that part differently, because it was built here. Its dashboard carries 102 Algerian courier tiles on one screen, including Yalidine, ZR Express, Maystro, NOEST and Guepex. The send-to-delivery button builds the courier's own request for you. It carries the name, phone, address, item list, delivery type and cash to collect. The tracking number then comes back onto the order by itself.
The full list, and what each courier supports, is in the courier documentation, and you do not need an account to read it.
Which courier to choose is a separate question, answered in our comparison of Algerian delivery companies.
What the same store costs on DZBuild
These prices were read from the live DZBuild billing page on 7 September 2026. Pro is 1,000 dinars a month, or 10,000 dinars for 12 months. Unlimited is 2,500 dinars a month. Enterprise starts at 5,500 dinars a month.
There is no commission on your sales on any plan, so nothing is taken out of what your buyer hands the courier. You pay with a CIB or EDAHABIA card, by BaridiMob transfer with a receipt, or by global card accepted worldwide and billed in USD.
Three limits belong beside those prices. Your buyers cannot pay by card on a physical storefront, because cash on delivery is the only checkout there. There is no CSV or Excel export of your orders in the dashboard. And if your plan lapses, the storefront goes offline behind a store-unavailable page: nothing is deleted, but the store stops selling until you pay.
Pro is 1,000 dinars per month, the first 3 days are free, and no bank card is asked for at signup.
When Shopify is still the right choice
If your buyers are outside Algeria and pay by card, Shopify is the better platform and you should use it. Shopify Payments works in 40 countries and regions. Its checkout handles several currencies with none of the work described above.
The same is true if you sell a digital product worldwide. It is also true if you already have a foreign company and a foreign bank account. In those cases the dollar bill is just a bill.
If your parcels leave on Yalidine or ZR Express, the comparison is a different one. We cover it platform by platform in our verified platform comparison. You can also open both dashboards and compare the send-to-delivery step yourself. Three days of DZBuild Pro cost nothing, ask for no bank card, and cancelling is free.
Questions people ask about Shopify prices
How much does Shopify cost per month? 32 US dollars a month for Basic on the UAE page, 27 on the Nigeria page and 25 on the Philippines page, all read on 7 September 2026. Advanced was 399 dollars on all three.
How much is Shopify in Algerian dinars? About 4,262 dinars a month for Basic at the Bank of Algeria rate of 133.20 for 7 September 2026. Shopify does not bill in dinars, so this is a conversion, not a price you can pay in dinars.
What is the Shopify 3 months for 1 dollar offer? Shopify's pricing page says: "Try 3 days free, then $1/month for 3 months." After that the normal plan price starts.
Does Shopify charge a fee on every sale? Only if you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments. Then the published rate is 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus.
Can I use Shopify Payments in Algeria? No. Algeria is not on the supported-countries list we read on 8 September 2026, and no African country is on it.
Does Shopify support the Algerian dinar? Yes, as a store currency. DZD is in Shopify's own Admin API currency list. The subscription itself is a different matter, and it is billed in a foreign currency.
Is Shopify free to try? There is a 3-day free trial, then the 1 dollar offer. A payment method is still required to continue after it.
How these numbers were checked, and one correction
Every Shopify figure here was read on 7 September 2026, except the theme prices and the Shopify Payments country list, which were read on 8 September 2026. The plan prices and the fee table come from the UAE, Nigeria and Philippines pricing pages on shopify.com. The card availability, the carrier list and the billing methods come from three pages in the Shopify Help Center. Theme prices come from the Shopify Theme Store, read on 8 September 2026, and the dinar currency code from the Shopify developer documentation. The Algeria pricing path returned Not Found.
The exchange rates come from the Bank of Algeria daily table dated 07-09-2026 and from dinarsquare.com, read at 23:50 the same day. The second is a private tracker, not an official rate.
Three things stayed unverified, so this article does not print them. Shopify app prices, because the App Store refused our reads that day. How Shopify handles cash on delivery, because the help section did not return. And the rules on using a CIB or EDAHABIA card abroad, because the SATIM and Algérie Poste pages did not load.
DZBuild prices, plan names and limits were read from the live DZBuild billing page and product on 7 September 2026.
Correction, 7 September 2026. Shopify does support the Algerian dinar as a store currency. Our own guide, how to create an online store in Algeria, still contains the sentence "No Algerian Dinar (DZD) support", and that sentence is wrong. It is on our correction list. The two real limits are the ones described above. The subscription is billed in a foreign currency, on a card that works internationally. And Shopify Payments does not serve Algeria.
