How Shopify Fees Work
Every Shopify store pays two types of costs: a fixed monthly subscription and per-transaction fees on each sale. The subscription ranges from $39/month on Basic to $2,300/month on Plus, while credit card processing rates range from 2.15% to 2.9% plus a flat 30¢ per transaction.
If you use Shopify Payments (Shopify's built-in payment processor), you avoid the additional third-party transaction fee. Using an external gateway like PayPal or Stripe adds an extra 0.2%–2% on top of their own processing fees.
Which Plan Is Right for You?
The best plan depends on your monthly revenue. Low-volume stores (under $10,000/month) typically save money on Basic due to the low subscription cost. As revenue grows, the lower per-transaction rates on Shopify and Advanced plans offset their higher subscription fees — often saving hundreds or thousands per month.
Shopify Plus is designed for high-volume merchants processing over $500,000/month where the 2.15% rate and additional enterprise features justify the $2,300/month investment.
