Shopify Fee Calculator (2026)
Shopify has no marketplace fee — which makes the real question different: at your volume, which plan leaves you the most money after card fees, the subscription and your apps? This calculator answers that live.
Per-order breakdown
Which plan wins at your volume?
| Plan | Platform cost / order | Profit / order | Profit / month |
|---|
Same store, same orders — only the plan changes. The winner is whichever row is green.
What Shopify actually charges
Card processing (Shopify Payments, online, US). Basic 2.9% + $0.30, Grow 2.7% + $0.30, Advanced 2.5% + $0.30 per order. No marketplace commission, no per-order platform fee beyond processing.
The plan itself. $39 / $105 / $399 monthly — or $29 / $79 / $299 per month on annual billing. Whether the bigger plan pays is pure arithmetic: Advanced's 0.2% card saving over Grow must cover a $294/month gap. At a $50 order value that's $0.10 an order — you'd need ~2,940 orders a month. At $150 orders it's $0.30 — about 980 a month covers it versus Grow, and the table above does your exact numbers.
The third-party penalty. Skip Shopify Payments and you pay your gateway plus Shopify's extra: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced. On Basic that's almost never worth it.
Apps. The unlisted fee. A typical stack (reviews, upsells, subscriptions, email) runs $30–$150/month; we spread whatever you enter across your orders so a 50-order month feels it honestly.
FAQ
Is Shopify cheaper than Amazon? On fees per order, usually yes — processing (~3%) beats referral + fulfillment (~30% all-in on a $30 FBA item). But Amazon's fee buys traffic; Shopify's doesn't. Your ad rate input is where that truth lives: raise it until it reflects buying every visitor, then compare with the six-platform tool.
Should I bill annually? If the store survives the year, annual billing saves $120–$1,200 depending on plan. The calculator's annual toggle shows the per-order effect instantly.
