Shopify fee calculator

Estimate Shopify Payments processing, premium and international card surcharges, optional third-party transaction fees, and the profit left after product, fulfillment, and ad costs.

Inputs

Formula

Shopify Payments fee is estimated as a percentage of order value plus the fixed payment fee. Third-party transaction fees are added only when Shopify Payments is not used.

profit = order value - payment fee - transaction fee - product cost - fulfillment cost - ad cost - other variable cost

Assumptions

Default US online card rates follow public Shopify pricing references for Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans.
Shopify Plus rates can vary by contract, so the default should be treated as an editable estimate.
Third-party transaction fees do not apply when Shopify Payments is used.

FAQ

Does Shopify refund transaction fees?

Third-party transaction fees are generally not returned after a refund. Payment processing refunds can vary by provider and region.

Why include ad cost?

A fee-only estimate can look healthy while the actual order loses money after paid acquisition. Use ad cost per order to see real contribution profit.
