All 4 findings

The hero pairs 'Start for free' with 'Start with your agent'

PM · Medium impact · Direct evidence

Under the headline 'Be the next household name' and the line 'Dream big and build fast on Shopify. The world's best commerce platform.', the homepage hero holds two buttons. 'Start for free' sits on the left as a filled button, and 'Start with your agent' sits on the right as an outlined one.

Evidence: Start with your agent · Seen on shopify.com, homepage hero, the right-hand button · Captured · Direct evidence

The checkout section gives two figures and a dated source note

Marketing · High impact · Indirect evidence

Under the heading 'The world's best-converting checkout', '15%' is labelled 'HIGHER CONVERSIONS' and '250M+' 'HIGH-INTENT SHOPPERS'. The note below them reads 'Based on external study with a Big Three global consulting firm in April, 2023.'

Public sample notes.

This sample covers pages that were publicly visible on . No account, private data or share link is involved. It carries observations only. The underlying run does produce recommendations, but they are written for someone deciding how to compete with the product, which is not what a public page about that product should say.

What card rates does Shopify's plan table list?

Under 'Accepting payments', online standard card rates are 2.9% on Basic, 2.7% on Grow, 2.5% on Advanced and 2.25% on Plus, each plus thirty cents. Third-party transaction fees are 2%, 1%, 0.6% and 0.2% on the same four plans.

What sits under 'But wait, there's more' on Shopify's pricing page?

Two cards. POS Pro, marked 'ADD ON', costs '+$89/mo' and reads 'For physical storefronts'. Agentic costs '$0/mo' and lists 'Only pay when you make a sale' and online card rates from 2.9% plus thirty cents.

Why did the UX persona score Shopify lower than the other three?

UX returned 66 while PM returned 75, Design 72 and Marketing 68. The one UX finding published here is the Plus price format, and it does not explain the gap on its own.
