You will learn
Learn what's included in your free Klaviyo plan inside Shopify, what happens when you reach a limit, and what changes (and doesn't) when you upgrade.
What the free plan includes
Your free plan includes email campaigns, automated messages, sign-up forms, your store's audience data, and dashboard analytics, with these limits:
- 3 automated messages live at once. The count includes automations created at klaviyo.com.
- 250 profiles and 500 emails per month.
- 1 live sign-up form.
- Powered by Klaviyo branding on emails and forms.
What happens at a limit
- Trying to set a fourth automation live shows an upgrade prompt; nothing you built is lost, and you can turn another automation off instead.
- If you reach your email send limit, sending pauses until the next month or an upgrade. You'll see a warning as you approach it.
Upgrading
When you choose to upgrade, you'll be taken to Klaviyo to pick a plan. Upgrading only adds capability:
- Everything stays connected: your lists, forms, automated messages, and campaign history carry over unchanged.
- Limits rise, and Powered by Klaviyo branding is removed.
- You gain access to the full Klaviyo platform, including SMS, advanced multi-step automations, and deeper analytics.
Note: Nothing in your Shopify store changes when you upgrade; the app and your storefront keep working exactly as before.
