Payment fee = Revenue × 2.9% + $0.30
Net profit = Revenue − All fees − Product cost − Shipping cost − Ad spend
Net monthly = (Net profit × Monthly sales) − Monthly plan cost

Assumptions:

  • Plan: Shopify Basic ($25/month)
  • Using Shopify Payments — no additional transaction fee
  • Payment processing rate is for US (online store)

Shopify plan rates at a glance (2026)

Grow$65$492.7% + $0.301%
Advanced$399$2992.5% + $0.300.6%

Shopify has no listing fees and no per-item fees — profit is purely subscription cost plus payment processing. The transaction fee (2%/1%/0.6%) only applies if you skip Shopify Payments for a third-party gateway like PayPal or Stripe directly; using Shopify Payments waives it entirely, leaving just the processing rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fees does Shopify charge per order?
Shopify charges a payment processing fee (Shopify Payments online card rates: 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, 2.7% + $0.30 on Grow, 2.5% + $0.30 on Advanced) plus a transaction fee if you use a third-party payment provider (2%, 1%, or 0.6% depending on plan). Using Shopify Payments waives the transaction fee.
Does Shopify charge a transaction fee if I use Shopify Payments?
No. If you use Shopify Payments as your payment processor, the additional transaction fee (2%/1%/0.6%) is waived. You only pay the Shopify Payments processing rate.
How much does Shopify cost per month?
Shopify plans (monthly billing) in 2026: Basic $25/month, Grow $65/month, Advanced $399/month. Annual billing reduces these by approximately 25%. Verify current pricing at shopify.com/pricing.
Which Shopify plan is best for a small store?
For most new Shopify stores: start with Basic ($25/month). Upgrade to Grow ($65/month) when your payment processing savings from the lower rate (2.7% vs 2.9%) exceed the $40/month plan difference — roughly when monthly revenue exceeds ~$20,000, or earlier if you need Grow's features.
What is a good profit margin for a Shopify store?
Healthy Shopify stores typically net 10–25% after COGS, shipping, processing fees, apps, and ad spend. Dropshipping stores often sit at 10–20%; brands with owned inventory and organic traffic can exceed 30%. If your margin is under 10%, ad costs or COGS are usually the problem — not Shopify's fees, which run ~3.5% on a $50 order.
How is Shopify profit different from Etsy or eBay profit?
Shopify has low per-sale fees (2.9% + $0.30 with Shopify Payments) but a fixed monthly cost and no built-in traffic — you pay for visitors via ads or SEO. Etsy and eBay take 9.5–14% per sale but bring buyers to you. At the same revenue, Shopify usually wins on fees above ~15–20 orders/month; whether it wins on total profit depends on your customer acquisition cost.
