Frequently asked questions
How much does Shopify take per sale?
With Shopify Payments the online card rate depends on your plan — roughly 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, 2.7% + $0.30 on Grow and 2.5% + $0.30 on Advanced. Using a third-party gateway adds a surcharge of about 2% (Basic), 1% (Grow) or 0.5% (Advanced) on top of that processor’s own fee.
Does it include the monthly plan fee?
Yes, optionally. Enter your orders per month and the plan’s monthly cost is amortised across them so it shows as a per-order cost.
Can I model discounts and returns?
Yes. Add a discount percentage, an ad cost per order, a returns/refunds reserve, overhead and an optional income-tax rate to get a realistic net profit.
Are the rates exact?
They are 2026 US defaults and vary by country, plan and provider. Every rate in the tool is editable, so confirm current pricing with Shopify.
