Shopify Lite Plan: Overview, Features and Limitations


The Shopify Lite plan is designed for individuals who want to sell products without managing an online store. Using this plan, you can easily embed a Buy Button on your personal website or blog.

With the Shopify Lite plan, you can access Shopify's standard features like the point of sale (POS) and Buy Button sales channels, the Analytics page, as well as finance reports. However, please note that the online store sales channel is not included in the Shopify Lite plan.
