Understanding Shopify Fees
Shopify charges two types of fees on every sale: the payment processing fee and, if you use a third-party payment gateway, an additional transaction fee. When you use Shopify Payments (Shopify's built-in payment processor), you avoid the extra transaction fee entirely. The processing rate depends on your plan — Basic charges 2.9% + $0.30, the standard Shopify plan charges 2.6% + $0.30, and Advanced drops to 2.4% + $0.30. Shopify Plus merchants negotiate custom rates starting around 0.2%. For high-volume stores, upgrading your plan can pay for itself in lower processing fees alone. Always factor these fees into your product pricing before launch to protect your margins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Shopify transaction fee?
The transaction fee is an additional fee Shopify charges when you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments. It's 2% on Basic, 1% on Shopify, and 0.5% on Advanced. Using Shopify Payments eliminates this fee entirely.
Does Shopify charge fees on refunds?
Shopify returns the percentage portion of the processing fee on refunds, but the $0.30 fixed fee per transaction is not refunded. This is standard practice across most payment processors.
How do I calculate my Shopify break-even price?
Your break-even price must cover your product cost, shipping, and Shopify's fees. Work backwards: add your costs together, then divide by (1 minus your fee rate) to account for the percentage fee. For example, with a 2.9% + $0.30 fee and $20 in costs: ($20 + $0.30) / (1 - 0.029) ≈ $20.91 minimum selling price to break even.
