Shopify fees on one sale

On your own Shopify store the per-order cost is card processing. With Shopify Payments on the Basic plan that is 2.9% plus $0.30 of what the buyer pays.

Unlike Etsy, Amazon and TikTok Shop, Shopify takes no commission on the sale itself; you pay for the store and for card processing. That usually leaves more per order, but you bring your own traffic.

Questions

Is the monthly plan included?

No. The Shopify plan is a fixed monthly cost, not a per-order fee, so it is left out of the receipt. Spread it over your monthly orders when you price.

What if I use another payment provider?

Shopify adds its own transaction fee on top of that provider's fee when you do not use Shopify Payments. Check the rate for your plan on Shopify's pricing page.

Do apps and ads cost extra?

Yes. Paid apps, themes and ads are separate. Add your ad cost per order in the profit calculator to see your real margin.
