Dollar pricing, third-party gateway fees and missing COD flows add up. We compare the real monthly cost for a typical Sri Lankan store.
Shopify is a great product. But for a store selling in rupees, to Sri Lankan customers, through local gateways, the maths changes.
Pricing in dollars vs rupees
Shopify Basic is billed in US dollars, so your cost moves with the exchange rate. Krihop plans are flat rupee prices starting at Rs 1,990 a month.
Third-party gateway fees
Use PayHere on Shopify and you pay Shopify an extra fee on every sale on top of the gateway's own fee. Krihop never takes a cut.
Local flows built in
Cash on Delivery confirmations, bank slip uploads, WhatsApp order updates and local couriers are first-class on Krihop.
Moving over
Krihop imports your Shopify products, collections and customers. On the Business plan, we do the whole move for you. See Krihop.
