What Shopify takes
Fees take $1.75 (3.5%) out of this $50.00 sale.
How Shopify fees are calculated
Shopify charges a percentage of each sale plus a small fixed fee per transaction. If you use a payment gateway other than Shopify Payments, an extra transaction fee is added on top — and on thin-margin products those fees can be the difference between profit and loss.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Shopify take per sale?
With Shopify Payments you typically pay 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction on the Basic plan, with lower rates on higher plans. If you use a third-party gateway instead, Shopify adds an extra transaction fee on top — often around 2%.
How do I lower my Shopify fees?
Use Shopify Payments to avoid the extra third-party transaction fee, and consider a higher plan if your volume is large enough that the lower processing rate outweighs the higher monthly fee.
Are Shopify fees eating my profit?
Often more than merchants expect — a $0.30 fixed fee is 6% of a $5 item. Profixo factors every fee into product-level profit and alerts you when fees push a product into a loss.
