Frequently asked questions

What are Shopify Payments credit card rates?

US online rates are 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Grow, and 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced. Premium cards cost 3.5%/3.3%/3.1% + 30¢ respectively, and international cards add 1%.

What does Shopify charge if I use a third-party payment gateway?

On top of your gateway’s own processing fee, Shopify adds a third-party transaction fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, and 0.6% on Advanced.

How do I calculate profit per order on Shopify?

Selling price − product cost − shipping & fulfillment − payment fees − ad spend per order. Divide by the selling price for net margin. The plan subscription and other fixed costs sit outside per-order math.

Which Shopify plan has the lowest fees?

Advanced has the lowest per-transaction rates (2.5% + 30¢, 0.6% third-party fee), but at $399/month it only pays off at volume. The crossover versus Basic typically lands around $25k–$30k of monthly card sales — run your numbers with this calculator.
