Per-sale fees only — excludes Shopify's monthly plan (from $39/mo), eBay Store subscriptions, ads/Offsite Ads, sales tax, and currency conversion. Green = lowest per-sale fee at that price. US rates, most-common category, verified 2026-08-24.
How to read this table
Each cell is the total per-sale fee a platform charges at that price, with the effective percentage in parentheses. The green cell in each row is the platform that keeps the least from that sale. But "lowest per-sale fee" is only half the story: Shopify charges a fixed monthly plan and brings no built-in traffic, while Etsy, eBay, and TikTok Shop send you buyers in exchange for their higher per-sale cut.
At low order volumes, the per-sale winner (usually TikTok Shop or Shopify on price alone) can lose once you factor in Shopify's $39/mo plan or the cost of driving your own traffic. At high volume with your own audience, Shopify's 2.9% card rate pulls clearly ahead. Use the per-platform calculators linked above to model your real numbers including fixed costs.
