What are Shopify’s transaction fees and hidden costs?
Shopify charges a third-party payment provider fee (often called a transaction fee) when customers pay through a gateway other than its own: 2% of each sale on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus (as of November 2026). Card processing, themes, apps and a domain come on top of the plan fee.
| Cost | What to expect (as of November 2026) |
|---|---|
| Plan fee | Basic $25, Grow $65, Advanced $399 monthly; $19, $49, $299 yearly; Plus from $2,300 monthly |
| Third-party payment provider fee | Basic 2%, Grow 1%, Advanced 0.6%, Plus 0.2% of each sale |
| Card processing | Varies by plan. Shopify’s pricing page lists no rates. |
| POS Pro add-on | $89 a month per location |
| Theme | Paid themes in the Shopify Theme Store start at $100 |
| Apps | Some apps have a free plan. Paid plans vary, for example Judge.me Awesome at $15 a month. |
| Domain | From $9 a year. The price depends on the extension, and renewals can differ. |
| Tax | No statement on whether prices include tax |
Card fees and third-party gateway fees grow with your sales, because each order is charged a percentage and usually a small fixed amount too. Themes and domains are fixed costs.
Here is a hypothetical example. A Basic store sells $10,000 in a month and every customer pays with PayPal. Shopify’s 2% fee is $10,000 x 0.02 = $200. PayPal charges its own fee on top of that, billed separately, so check PayPal’s rates for your country before you budget.
The same $10,000 would carry a $100 Shopify fee on Grow, $60 on Advanced and $20 on Plus. Moving from Basic to Grow cuts that fee by $100 and adds $40 to the monthly plan price ($65 against $25, billed monthly). The upgrade pays for itself once more than $4,000 a month goes through third-party gateways ($40 / 1%, billed monthly, card fees not included).

Which Shopify plan should you pick?
Pick the cheapest plan that covers your staff accounts: Basic for one person, Grow for up to 5 staff accounts, Advanced for up to 15, Plus beyond that. Then check whether yearly billing fits your cash flow.
- Working alone: Basic, $19 a month on yearly billing.
- Owner plus a small team: Grow, which lists 5 staff accounts, $49 a month on yearly billing.
- A larger team: Advanced, which lists 15 staff accounts, $299 a month on yearly billing.
- More than 15 staff accounts or more than 10 inventory locations: Plus, which lists unlimited staff accounts and 200 locations.
Hypothetical store: one owner and two staff logins, US prices, October 2026. Basic lists no staff accounts, so Grow is the cheapest plan that covers the logins.
| Billing | Arithmetic | Cost for 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| Grow, monthly billing | $65 x 12 | $780 |
| Grow, yearly billing | $49 x 12 | $588 |
| Difference | $780 minus $588 | $192 saved |

When should you upgrade?
Upgrade when you need more staff accounts than your plan lists, more inventory locations, or when third-party gateway sales are high enough that the lower fee outweighs the price gap.
- Staff accounts: Basic lists none, Grow 5, Advanced 15, Plus unlimited.
- Locations: Basic, Grow and Advanced list 10 inventory locations each. Plus lists 200.
- Third-party fee: the table below shows the monthly sales at which the lower fee equals the higher plan price.
| Move up | Monthly price gap | Fee drop | Third-party sales per month where the saving equals the gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic to Grow | $65 minus $25 = $40 | 2% to 1% (1 point) | $40 / 0.01 = $4,000 |
| Grow to Advanced | $399 minus $65 = $334 | 1% to 0.6% (0.4 points) | $334 / 0.004 = $83,500 |
| Advanced to Plus | $2,300 minus $399 = $1,901 | 0.6% to 0.2% (0.4 points) | $1,901 / 0.004 = $475,250 |
On yearly billing the price gaps shrink, so the first two break-even points fall: Basic to Grow is $49 minus $19 = $30, or $3,000 in monthly third-party sales, and Grow to Advanced is $299 minus $49 = $250, or $62,500.
