Does Shopify have a student or military discount?

What the Shopify student discount gives you

The Shopify Student Discount gives students 4 months free to build a store, then $1/month for 3 months on any Shopify plan once they're ready to sell.

Per Shopify's blog, you activate the $1/month trial any time within the four months to accept orders, which adds three months on top of the time already used.

After that, standard pricing applies: in the US, Basic is $39 USD a month on monthly billing, per Shopify's pricing page. The Help Center adds that Shopify doesn't extend or reset free trials or promotional pricing.

Who qualifies and how Shopify verifies students

• You're currently enrolled at a participating college or university in the US or Canada.
• You sign up on the Shopify for Students page with your school email, the domain listed for your institution; that is how Shopify verifies student status.
• You don't need a registered business.

If your school isn't listed, use the request form on the students page or email students@shopify.com, or start a standard Shopify free trial instead.

No student code or coupon appears on the Shopify pages we checked in November 2026: the students page, its blog post, the Help Center trial and billing pages, and pricing. The student codes we found in search came from third-party coupon sites and discount apps, not from Shopify.

What about military, veteran or teacher discounts

No Shopify page we checked as of November 2026 lists a subscription discount or trial for military members, veterans, first responders or teachers. We read the students, pricing, free trial and nonprofits pages, Help Center plan, trial and billing pages, and the changelog. Your way in is the standard Shopify free trial.

Shopify's nonprofit plans are a separate program for charities, not a military or teacher offer.

The military-discount apps you'll find in search verify shoppers: that is how merchants give those customers a discount in their own store, not a price Shopify gives you.
