Shopify Fees FAQ

What fees does Shopify charge?

Shopify Basic: 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction. Shopify plan: 2.6% + $0.30. Advanced: 2.4% + $0.30. If you use a third-party payment gateway, add 2% (Basic), 1% (Shopify), or 0.5% (Advanced).

Does Shopify charge a transaction fee if I use Shopify Payments?

No additional transaction fees when using Shopify Payments. The only fee is the payment processing rate (2.9% + $0.30 on Basic).

How is Shopify different from Etsy or eBay?

Shopify has no marketplace fee — you only pay payment processing. However, you need to drive your own traffic (no built-in audience), so factor in advertising costs.

What is Shopify's monthly fee?

Shopify Basic is $39/mo (billed monthly) or ~$29/mo (annual). This is a fixed overhead cost, not per-transaction.
