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.

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).

Where to read the details:

How much does Shopify cost in my country?

Shopify shows its own prices, currency and fees on each country’s pricing page, so the US figures above do not apply outside the US. Each page below reads that country’s page.

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.

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.

Hypothetical arithmetic from US prices on monthly billing, October 21, 2026. It counts only sales paid through a third-party gateway and ignores card rates and other fees.

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.
