Shopify fees calculator
Pick your plan and how you take payments. See what Shopify keeps from an order, and what that comes to over a month of sales.
Per order
How Shopify's fees add up
With Shopify Payments: fee = order × card rate + 30¢
With another provider: fee = order × Shopify fee % + that provider's fee
Plan cost per order = plan price ÷ orders per month
Card rates for online payments with Shopify Payments, and Shopify's own fee if you use someone else:
| Basic | 2.9% + 30¢, or 2% with another provider |
|---|---|
| Grow | 2.7% + 30¢, or 1% with another provider |
| Advanced | 2.5% + 30¢, or 0.6% with another provider |
Worked example
A store on the Basic plan with Shopify Payments takes a $50.00 order.
| Card processing | 50 × 0.029 + 0.30 = $1.75 |
|---|---|
| Shopify transaction fee | $0.00 (none with Shopify Payments) |
| You keep | 50 − 1.75 = $48.25, before the plan price |
The same order through another provider charging 2.9% + 30¢ costs that$1.75 plus Shopify's 2% ($1.00), so$2.75 in fees. At 200 orders a month that is$200 extra a month for using a different provider.
Before you pick a plan
Do the upgrade sum with your own numbers
Fill in your order size and monthly orders, note "Shopify fees per month", then switch the plan and enter that plan's price. The plan with the lower total, fees plus price, is the cheaper one for you right now.
Annual billing
Shopify discounts the plans if you pay for a year up front. Use the monthly equivalent of the annual price in the plan price box if that is how you pay.
Other fees to count
International cards and currency conversion cost extra on Shopify Payments, and chargebacks have their own fee. If a lot of your orders come from abroad, raise the card rate in "Change the rates" to match what your payouts show.

Questions people ask
Does Shopify take a percentage of every sale?
Not on top of card processing, if you use Shopify Payments. You pay the card rate for your plan (for example 2.9% + 30¢ online on Basic) and your monthly plan fee. If you use a different payment provider, Shopify adds its own transaction fee (2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced) on top of what that provider charges.
Should I include the monthly plan in the cost of each order?
It helps when you are deciding on prices or comparing plans. Divide the plan price by the orders you expect in a month and you get the plan's share of each order. On a small store that share can be bigger than the card fee.
When is it worth moving up a plan?
When the lower card rate saves more than the higher plan price costs. The difference in card rate between plans is a fraction of a percent, so it takes a fair amount of monthly sales before an upgrade pays for itself on fees alone. Compare the "Shopify fees per month" line on two plans with your real sales.
Are app charges and Shopify Shipping included?
No. Paid apps, themes, shipping labels bought through Shopify and Shopify Email are billed separately. Add their monthly total to the plan price if you want them counted in the cost per order.
