Which GetResponse plan fits your Shopify store?
Starter is the starting point for newsletters and a simple welcome journey. Marketer is the plan to consider for abandoned-cart recovery and multiple automation workflows. Your contact count then determines the price within the plan you choose.
Monthly billing starts at $19 for Starter, $59 for Marketer, and $69 for Creator, in US dollars. These are starting prices, rather than a quote for every store. This guide uses GetResponse's official pricing and its Shopify App Store listing, checked September 21, 2026.
Before comparing prices, write down the emails you want to send. A weekly product update and a welcome email call for a different setup from several journeys based on what customers buy. A workflow is the set of conditions and actions that runs an automated journey.
That short list gives your trial a purpose. You can check whether the plan supports the work you intend to do, then get a price for the contacts you will actually manage.
Starter vs. Marketer: the features that change your choice
Starter includes email campaigns, signup forms, landing pages, welcome emails, and one custom automation workflow. Marketer adds unlimited workflows, advanced segmentation, and abandoned-cart recovery. Segmentation means grouping recipients by shared criteria so you can send a more relevant message.

How contact counts and billing terms affect the price
Keep contact count, currency, and billing frequency consistent when comparing plans. An annual plan's monthly equivalent is different from a monthly payment.
| Plan | Monthly (USD) |
|---|---|
| Starter | From USD 19/month |
| Marketer | From USD 59/month |
| Creator | From USD 69/month |

For a useful quote, note down your intended contact list, required plan, billing frequency, displayed currency, and total including applicable tax. Start with the contacts you intend to bring into GetResponse rather than assuming your entire Shopify customer database will become the marketing list.
If you are planning new signup forms or campaigns, also check the price at the next relevant contact tier. This gives you a budget for the list you have now and a view of what growth would cost.
For annual billing, look at the total due as well as the monthly equivalent. Make the same comparison for other tools on your shortlist; our Omnisend pricing guide explains the questions to ask using the same audience and planned emails.
What to set up when connecting Shopify
For purchase-based email journeys, check the ecommerce data import rather than stopping at contact sync. GetResponse's Shopify integration guide starts in Integrations and API, where you select Shopify and install the plugin.
Decide which list will receive contacts, which data you need, and how it will stay updated. GetResponse recommends a dedicated list for the integration. Select customers with marketing consent, then choose the data needed for the journeys you intend to build.
The guide also explains how to enable Web Connect in Shopify so page-visit data can reach GetResponse. Confirm that the setting has taken effect before relying on those visits to trigger a journey.
Use an email address you control for testing. Check that the expected contact and product information arrives, then define your recipients and entry conditions before turning on an automation. The goal is to confirm that the data your chosen workflow needs is available.
What to test during your 14-day trial
GetResponse offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Use it to complete one email journey, from signup to the message appearing in an inbox. Official free trial
Here is a practical trial plan:
- Choose one job. Pick a product announcement, welcome email, or another specific message your store needs.
- Prepare the audience. Use your own test address and identify the consented list you would use for a live campaign.
- Build the email. Add one product, a subject line, the copy, and a link to the correct product page.
- Check the received message. Review it on a phone as well as a larger screen, and follow the links.
- Choose the ongoing plan. Record the features you used, the workflows you need, and the contact tier that matches your list.
If cart recovery is your main reason for signing up, include separate tests for an unfinished purchase and a completed purchase. Check the conditions intended to stop reminders after a purchase. This makes the trial about the behavior your store needs, rather than the number of features you can explore.
