How Shopify Seller Fees Work
Shopify is the world’s leading e-commerce platform. Understanding its fee structure is essential for maximizing profit margins. Shopify charges a flat monthly subscription fee combined with variable transaction-based costs. Use our Shopify Fee Calculator to predict your monthly overhead and net profit margin.
Shopify charges an additional transaction fee surcharge on top of what your gateway charges. This surcharge is 2.0% for Basic, 1.0% for Shopify, and 0.5% for Advanced plans.
Understanding Shopify Payments vs. Third-Party Gateways
Activating Shopify Payments removes the extra per-transaction surcharge. Third-party gateways (PayPal, Stripe, etc.) trigger an additional 0.5%–2.0% charge.
Shopify Subscription Plan Tiers
- Basic ($39/month): 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction.
- Shopify ($105/month): 2.6% + $0.30 per transaction.
- Advanced ($399/month): 2.4% + $0.30 per transaction.
Tips to Lower Your Shopify Fees
- Use Shopify Payments — eliminates the 0.5%–2.0% third-party transaction surcharge.
- Pay Annually — save up to 25% on your subscription cost.
- Audit Your Apps — remove unused apps to cut monthly overhead.
