Fee Notes

How Shopify fees apply

Shopify's pricing page lists the Basic plan online card rate as 2.9% plus $0.30 USD. This calculator applies that processing fee to total revenue, which on this page means sale price plus buyer-paid shipping.

Shopify's help docs say that when you use Shopify Payments, orders processed through Shopify Payments are not charged third-party transaction fees. That is why the optional 2.0% surcharge should stay off for Shopify Payments orders and only be enabled when you are modeling a third-party gateway scenario.

Shopify's third-party transaction fee page says the billing formula is based on order value including shipping and tax, after discounts. The shared calculator on this site does not yet have separate tax or discount inputs, so this page should be treated as a practical baseline rather than an exact replica of Shopify billing in every edge case.

How To Use

How to use this calculator

  1. •Enter the product sale price and any buyer-paid shipping to model the order revenue that the Basic-plan fee rates apply to on this page.
  2. •Add your item cost and seller-paid shipping cost to convert the payout estimate into net profit and margin.
  3. •Leave the third-party gateway surcharge toggle off for Shopify Payments. Turn it on only when the order is processed by an external provider and you want a baseline estimate of Shopify's extra 2.0% Basic-plan transaction fee.
