How to check you entered the right numbers
Check the result against real payments. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings, Payments, then View payouts, then View Transactions, then Export (steps from Shopify’s own guide). The export lists each transaction’s amount, fee and net payout. Compare a fee with the “Payment processing fee” line in the calculator. If they match, your inputs are right.
Shopify transaction fees for US sellers
Shopify’s own card rate depends on your plan. If you use an outside payment provider instead of Shopify Payments, you pay Shopify a separate third-party fee on top of your provider’s rates.
| Fee | Rate | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify Payments, online standard cards | 2.9% (Basic), 2.7% (Grow), 2.5% (Advanced) + 30¢ | per online card payment |
| Shopify Payments, in-person cards (Shopify POS) | 2.6% (Basic), 2.5% (Grow), 2.4% (Advanced) + 10¢ | per in-person card payment |
| Online premium cards (Basic plan) | 3.5% + $0.30 | Basic plan rate; premium and international cards cost more on every plan |
| Third-party payment provider fee | 2% (Basic), 1% (Grow), 0.6% (Advanced) | added by Shopify when you use an outside payment provider; your provider’s own rates are separate |
| Currency conversion (US stores) | 1.5% | when currency conversion is required |
| Dispute (chargeback) fee | $15.00 | returned if you win the dispute |

How Shopify fees work in practice
A Shopify store has two kinds of cost: your monthly plan, and a fee on each payment. This calculator focuses on the second one, and lets you spread the first across your orders. If you use Shopify Payments, you pay only the card rate on each order. There are no extra third-party transaction fees.
The card rate drops as you move up a plan. On a $100.00 online order, the fee isBasic $3.20, Grow $3.00, Advanced $2.80. The fixed $0.30 is the same on every plan, so it hurts most on small orders. On a $10 order the Basic fee is $0.59, which is5.9% of the sale.
If you use PayPal or another outside provider, you pay Shopify’s third-party fee as well as the provider’s rate. On Basic that is 2% extra. A $60.00 order paid through PayPal Checkout (3.49% + 49¢) costs $3.78 in total, against $2.04 through Shopify Payments, a difference of$1.74. Shopify says PayPal payments are exempt from the third-party fee if Shopify Payments is your primary provider, so check which setup you have.
In-person sales through Shopify POS are cheaper: 2.6% + $0.10 on Basic. Orders that need currency conversion add 1.5% for US stores. Premium and international cards cost more than standard cards, but Shopify’s page only lists one premium rate, so the calculator does not include it.
Your real profit also depends on what you pay for the product, the shipping label, and your monthly costs. Enter your plan and app costs and your monthly orders, and the calculator adds the cost per order to the result. Refunds do not return the processing fee, and a dispute costs $15.00, returned if you win.
Three worked examples
1. A $60 order on Basic with Shopify Payments
The fee is 2.9% of $60.00 plus $0.30, which is $2.04. You receive $57.96.
2. A $100 order across the three plans
Basic: $3.20. Grow: $3.00. Advanced: $2.80. Each plan up saves $0.20 on a $100 online order.
3. PayPal as an outside provider
A $60.00 order on Basic via PayPal Checkout (3.49% + 49¢) costs $1.20 in Shopify’s third-party fee plus $2.58 to PayPal, which is $3.78 in total. Shopify Payments would cost $2.04.
