The Shopify Fee Calculator helps you estimate the costs of selling through your Shopify store, focusing on payment processing fees and subscription plan charges. Unlike marketplaces, Shopify doesn't charge per-listing or commission fees, but you'll pay credit card processing rates (starting at 2.9% + $0.30 on the Basic plan) plus any third-party transaction fees if you don't use Shopify Payments.
This tool helps you compare costs across Shopify's plans — Basic, Shopify, and Advanced — so you can choose the right plan for your sales volume and understand your true cost per transaction.
- Enter the product selling price, cost of goods, and your estimated number of monthly orders.
- Select your Shopify plan (Basic, Shopify, or Advanced) to apply the corresponding payment processing rates and subscription cost.
- Indicate whether you use Shopify Payments or a third-party payment gateway, as third-party gateways incur an additional transaction fee (0.5%–2%).
- Review the per-transaction fee breakdown, monthly fee summary, and profit analysis including your effective fee rate across all orders.
- Calculates Shopify Payments credit card processing fees by plan: 2.9% + $0.30 (Basic), 2.6% + $0.30 (Shopify), or 2.4% + $0.30 (Advanced).
- Includes the additional third-party transaction fee (2%, 1%, or 0.5% by plan) when using external payment gateways instead of Shopify Payments.
- Factors in monthly subscription costs ($39, $105, or $399) to show your true all-in cost per order at different sales volumes.
- Compares all three Shopify plans side by side so you can see at what sales volume upgrading to a higher plan saves you money.
- What are Shopify's payment processing fees?
- When using Shopify Payments, credit card rates are 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on the Basic plan, 2.6% + $0.30 on the Shopify plan, and 2.4% + $0.30 on the Advanced plan. If you use a third-party payment gateway instead, Shopify charges an additional transaction fee on top of whatever your gateway charges — 2% on Basic, 1% on Shopify, and 0.5% on Advanced.
- Does Shopify charge a commission or listing fee?
- No. Unlike Amazon, eBay, or Etsy, Shopify does not charge referral fees, listing fees, or commissions on your sales. Your main costs are the monthly subscription fee and payment processing charges. This makes Shopify particularly cost-effective for high-volume sellers.
- Which Shopify plan is best for my business?
- It depends on your monthly sales volume. The Basic plan ($39/month) works well for newer stores, but as your revenue grows, the lower processing rates on the Shopify ($105/month) and Advanced ($399/month) plans can save you money. Use this calculator to compare your total costs across all plans at your current sales volume.
