How it's calculated
Payment fees use your plan's Shopify Payments online rate. The calculator blends standard and premium card rates by the share you enter, adds 1% for international cards, and applies PayPal's rate to PayPal orders. With another gateway, it uses your provider's rate plus Shopify's transaction fee for your plan.
Profit per order is the order value minus product cost, shipping, payment fees and a share of your monthly plan and app costs spread across your orders.
Plan comparison runs your exact orders through every plan. Higher plans cost more per month but charge lower card rates, so they pay off once your sales pass the break-even point shown.

Questions sellers ask
How much does Shopify charge per sale?
With Shopify Payments in the US, online card payments cost 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Grow, 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced and 2.25% + 30¢ on Plus. There is no extra Shopify transaction fee when you use Shopify Payments.
What is the Shopify transaction fee for third-party gateways?
If you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments, Shopify adds a transaction fee on top of your provider's fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus.
Do international and premium cards cost more?
Yes. International cards add 1% on every plan, and premium cards such as rewards or corporate cards are charged a higher rate, for example 3.5% + 30¢ on Basic.
When should I upgrade from Basic to Grow?
When your monthly sales are high enough that the lower card rate saves more than the extra plan price. The calculator works out that point for your order size and billing period.
How much does PayPal cost on Shopify?
PayPal wallet payments start at 3.49% + 49¢ on all plans. Shopify does not add its own transaction fee on PayPal orders when Shopify Payments is your main provider.
