How Shopify fees work
With Shopify Payments, US online card payments cost 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Grow and 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced. With a third-party provider, Shopify adds 2%, 1% or 0.6%.
- The monthly plan price ($39 Basic, $105 Grow, $399 Advanced, less when billed yearly) isn't a per-sale fee and isn't included.
- International and American Express cards can cost more.
You receive = sale price + shipping the buyer pays − Shopify fees Profit = you receive − item cost − postage you pay − other costs Margin = profit ÷ (sale price + shipping charged)
