Shopify payment math

See Shopify fees before the order is paid.

Choose a U.S. plan and payment setup, then separate payment processing, Shopify transaction fees, allocated plan cost, payout, and real profit.

Sale inputs

Describe the Shopify order

Defaults use public U.S. online rates reviewed August 4, 2026. Your admin and contract are final because rates vary by market and account.

Item sale price

Shipping paid by buyer

Sales tax paid by buyer

Some platforms include buyer tax in the processing or fee base.

What you paid for the item

Your shipping cost

Packaging and other costs

Target profit

We calculate the sale price needed to reach this profit.

Plan and payment setup

Payment fixed fee

Shopify third-party transaction fee

Use zero for Shopify Payments as the sole provider. For an external provider, add that provider's own processing charge using the fields above.

Allocated subscription cost per order

Optional: divide your actual monthly plan bill by expected monthly orders.

estimated transaction fees$3.72

Transparent by design

Payment fees apply to the complete processed order, including shipping and tax. Collected tax is excluded from seller revenue and profit.

Basic, Grow, and Advanced online Shopify Payments presets use 2.9%, 2.7%, and 2.5% plus $0.30 respectively.
Shopify Payments as the sole provider has no extra third-party transaction fee. The mixed-provider Basic preset adds Shopify's current 1.25% premium to the standard Shopify Payments rate.
Public third-party transaction rates are 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, and 0.6% on Advanced, in addition to the external provider's charge.
Subscription allocation is an editable business assumption, not a per-order fee charged by Shopify.
