How Shopify fees work
Selling on Shopify costs you a monthly plan fee and a fee on every payment. Higher plans cost more each month but charge less per payment, so the cheapest plan depends on how much you sell.
- Plan fee. Basic, Grow, Advanced or Plus, billed monthly or, for less, yearly.
- Card processing. With Shopify Payments you pay a percentage of each order plus a fixed amount. American Express, business cards and cards from abroad cost more. In-person payments cost less.
- Transaction fee for other providers. If you use another payment provider instead of Shopify Payments, Shopify adds 2%, 1%, 0.6% or 0.2% of each online order, depending on the plan, on top of the provider's own fee. Source
- Currency conversion. 1.5% in the US and 2% elsewhere when a customer pays in another currency. Source
New stores often start with a short trial at a low price, and Shopify currently gives new stores 1% of sales back as subscription credit for their first 6 months (0.5% without Shopify Payments), up to a limit that depends on the plan. The calculator leaves these offers out and uses the regular prices.

Questions
How much does Shopify take per sale?
With Shopify Payments in the US, the Basic plan charges 2.9% + $0.30 for each online card payment, so a $50 order costs $1.75. Grow charges 2.7% and Advanced 2.5%, plus the same 30 cents. On those three plans, premium cards (business cards and American Express) cost 0.6% more, and cards from abroad 1% more. There is no extra transaction fee when you use Shopify Payments.
Which Shopify plan is cheapest?
It depends on how much you sell. In the US, Grow costs $66 a month more than Basic, billed monthly, and saves 0.2% of each sale in card fees. So it only pays off once you sell more than about $33,000 a month. On yearly billing the switch point is $30,000. Enter your own numbers to see where you stand.
What does Shopify charge if I use another payment provider?
Shopify adds a transaction fee of 2%, 1%, 0.6% or 0.2% on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. That is on top of what your provider charges. It is worked out on the order total, including shipping and tax, and is not charged on point-of-sale orders.
Does Shopify charge for currency conversion?
Yes, when a customer pays in a currency that is not your payout currency. Shopify Payments charges 1.5% for US stores and 2% in other countries.
Is it cheaper to pay yearly?
Yes. In the US, Basic is $29 a month billed yearly instead of $39, and Grow is $89 instead of $105. Card rates are the same either way.
Are Shopify's prices the same in every country?
No. Shopify sets plan prices and card rates for each country, in local currency. The calculator has the published rates for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Ireland.
Do these prices include tax?
Shopify's Irish pricing page shows card rates without VAT, and depending on where you are, Shopify may add sales tax or VAT to its bills. The calculator leaves that tax out.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The calculator runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device.
