Shopify Fee Calculator
Compare Shopify plans and transaction fees.
Shopify fee calculator
See exactly what Shopify takes on each sale. Enter an order value, pick your plan, and this calculator shows the Shopify Payments processing fee, what you keep, and your effective fee percentage on that order.
Processing fee = order × rate + 30¢. Higher plans (Shopify, Advanced) charge a lower percentage but cost more per month, so the right plan depends on volume. Note the fixed 30¢ hits small orders hardest — a low average order value means fees eat a bigger slice, so raising AOV improves your margin too.
Frequently asked questions
What are Shopify’s transaction fees?
With Shopify Payments (US, online card), rates are about 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Shopify, and 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced. Using an outside gateway instead adds an extra 0.5–2% platform fee per order.
How do I avoid extra Shopify transaction fees?
Use Shopify Payments, the built-in processor — it waives the extra per-transaction platform fee that applies when you use a third-party gateway. You still pay the card processing rate.
Which plan has the lowest fees?
Higher plans have lower processing rates but higher monthly fees, so the cheapest option depends on your volume. This calculator shows the per-order processing cost for each plan.
