How This Calculator Works
This calculator shows your true profit margin after Shopify's payment processing fees. Unlike marketplace fees, Shopify only charges for payment processing—there are no listing fees or selling fees. Your monthly subscription covers the platform itself.
Shopify Payments rates vary by plan: Basic (2.9% + $0.30), Shopify (2.6% + $0.30), and Advanced (2.4% + $0.30). If you use a third-party payment processor like PayPal, you'll pay an additional transaction fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Shopify, or 0.5% on Advanced.
For a complete breakdown of all plan costs including monthly fees, staff accounts, and features, see our Shopify Pricing Plans Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fees does Shopify charge?
Shopify charges a monthly subscription ($39-$399) plus payment processing fees (2.4-2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). There are no listing fees, no selling fees, and no final value fees like marketplaces charge.
Which Shopify plan is best for profitability?
It depends on your volume. Basic is best for most sellers under $10k/month. At higher volumes, the lower processing rates on Shopify or Advanced plans can offset the higher monthly cost.
Should I use Shopify Payments or PayPal?
Shopify Payments avoids the extra transaction fee (2%, 1%, or 0.5% depending on plan). Using PayPal or another processor means paying both their fees AND Shopify's transaction fee.
What profit margin should I aim for?
A healthy profit margin for e-commerce is typically 30-50%. Below 20% is unsustainable long-term. This calculator helps you see if your pricing supports your target margin.
