Frequently asked questions
What is Shopify's transaction fee?
If you use Shopify Payments (Shopify's built-in processor), there is no additional transaction fee. If you use a third-party payment gateway like PayPal, Stripe, or Klarna, Shopify charges an extra fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Shopify, 0.5% on Advanced, 0.15% on Plus. Always use Shopify Payments if available in your country to avoid this.
Does Shopify charge per transaction?
Shopify Payments charges a percentage + fixed fee per order (e.g. 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic plan for online orders). The fixed $0.30 matters more for low-value orders. For a $10 order, the fixed fee is 3% of the sale price. For a $100 order, it's only 0.30%.
Which Shopify plan is best?
The right plan depends on your monthly revenue. Basic ($29/mo) suits stores under ~$5,000/month. The Shopify plan ($79/mo) saves money above ~$5,000/month due to lower processing rates. Advanced ($299/mo) makes sense above ~$20,000/month. Our calculator compares all plans for your specific revenue.
Can I save money with annual billing?
Yes — Shopify offers up to 25% off for annual billing. Basic drops from $29/mo to $25/mo. Shopify drops from $79/mo to $65/mo. Advanced drops from $299/mo to $235/mo. If you're committed to Shopify long-term, annual billing is worth it.

Shopify Payments vs third-party gateways
Using Shopify Payments eliminates the extra transaction fee (0.5%–2% depending on plan) but locks you into Stripe's underlying infrastructure. Third-party gateways like PayPal, Klarna, or Afterpay offer BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) options that can increase conversion rates, but the extra fee eats into your margins. At scale, even 0.5% on $50,000/month is $250 — worth comparing both scenarios.
Hidden Shopify costs to budget for
Beyond plan and processing fees, Shopify stores often pay for: premium themes ($150–$350 one-time), apps (typically $20–$300/month total), email marketing tools, custom domain ($14/year), and Shopify Markets fees for international selling. A realistic all-in Shopify cost for a growing store is often $200–$600/month before COGS and advertising.
