Shopify Fee Calculator
Estimate what a Shopify store costs per month: the subscription plus card fees on your orders, with or without Shopify Payments.
The result breaks the monthly bill into its three parts: the plan subscription, the card fees on every order, and, only if you use another payment provider, Shopify's extra third-party transaction fee. With Shopify Payments there is no extra Shopify fee beyond the card rate. Apps, themes and shipping labels are not included, so treat the total as the platform-and-payments part of your costs.
Formula
Monthly card fees = orders × (card rate × average order value + $0.30). Third-party fee = third-party rate × monthly sales, only when you use another payment provider. Total monthly cost = subscription + card fees + third-party fee. Basic card rate is 2.9% + $0.30 online; third-party rate is 2% on Basic.
How it works
Enter your average order value and how many orders you expect in a month, then pick your plan and billing. Leave the third-party box unchecked if you use Shopify Payments. The calculator uses Basic's verified rates by default; Grow and Advanced use their published lower card rates (2.7% and 2.5% plus $0.30) and lower third-party rates, so confirm them on Shopify's pricing page for your store's country.
Worked example
100 orders at a $50 average on Basic, paid monthly, with Shopify Payments: monthly sales are $5,000. Card fees are 100 × (2.9% of $50 + $0.30) = 100 × $1.75 = $175.00. Add the $39.00 subscription and the total monthly cost is $214.00, which is $2.14 per order. Switching to yearly billing would cut the subscription to $29.00 and the total to $204.00.
FAQs
How much is Shopify Basic per month?
For US stores, $39 per month paid monthly or $29 per month paid yearly, with online standard card rates of 2.9% + $0.30 when using Shopify Payments.
Do I pay extra if I use PayPal or another gateway?
Yes, unless it runs through Shopify Payments. Shopify adds a third-party transaction fee — 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced — on top of what your provider charges.
Is there a Shopify fee on top of card fees with Shopify Payments?
No. With Shopify Payments you pay only the card rate for your plan; the extra transaction fee applies only to third-party providers.
Does the subscription depend on how much I sell?
No, the subscription is flat for the plan. Higher plans cost more per month but charge lower card and third-party rates, so they pay off only once your volume is high enough.
What is not included in this calculator?
Apps, premium themes, shipping label costs, and any payment provider's own fees if you use a third-party gateway. Add those separately for a full monthly picture.
