Shopify fee calculator
Your Shopify plan changes the processing rate — and that's separate from the monthly subscription. See what Shopify Payments takes on a single order.
Shopify's fees, and the date we last looked
Fees move. When they do, this table changes and the change gets logged — that's the whole maintenance promise, and it's why the number above is worth more than a two-year-old blog post.
| Fee | Rate | Charged on | Changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic plan | 2.9% + $0.30 | Online domestic cards via Shopify Payments | Unchanged |
| Shopify plan | 2.7% + $0.30 | Online domestic cards via Shopify Payments | Unchanged |
| Advanced plan | 2.5% + $0.30 | Online domestic cards via Shopify Payments | Unchanged |
| Third-party gateway | 2% extra | If you don't use Shopify Payments — not modeled here | Unchanged |
The awkward questions
Does this include my monthly Shopify subscription?
No. This calculator only shows Shopify Payments processing on one order. Your $39–$399 monthly plan fee is separate — divide it by your monthly orders to see the per-sale impact.
What if I use PayPal on Shopify?
Third-party gateways add Shopify's 2% transaction fee on top of whatever PayPal charges. This tool models Shopify Payments only.
We'll tell you when Shopify changes its fees.
Platforms change their cut quietly and you find out from a smaller payout. Pick the ones you sell on and you'll get one short email when a rate actually moves — what changed, and what it costs you per sale. Nothing else. No newsletter.
Roughly six emails a year, because that's roughly how often these fees move. Unsubscribe link in every one.
