Why Shopify Fees Matter for Your Shopify Store?

You might be on the wrong Shopify plan

Once your Shopify store passes $25,000 a month in sales, the Grow plan usually costs you less than Basic when you factor in processing fees. Most ecommerce sellers don’t get this until they run the numbers.

Third-party gateways cost more than you think.

If you’re using PayPal or any processor other than Shopify Payments, Shopify adds its own transaction fee on top. On Basic that’s an extra 2% on every order.

Refunds and chargebacks quietly add up

Shopify keeps the processing fee when you issue a refund. Chargebacks cost $15 each. Neither shows up clearly in your monthly summary.

FAQs

Canadian ecommerce sellers get billed in CAD. The Shopify fee structure has three main plans: Basic at $49/month, Grow at $132/month, and Advanced at $517/month. Processing rates through Shopify Payments range from about 2.4% to 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Use a third-party gateway and Shopify adds an extra transaction fee on top.

The Shopify fee threshold between Basic and Grow sits around $25,000 in monthly revenue. That’s where the lower processing rates usually make the upgrade worth it. Our Shopify pricing calculator above shows your exact break-even point.

If you skip Shopify Payments, the Shopify transaction fee calculator shows Basic adds 2%, Grow adds 1%, and Advanced adds 0.6% on every order + your processor’s own fees. Switching to Shopify Payments removes that extra fee completely.

The Shopify chargeback fee is $15 per dispute. You get it back if you win; otherwise it’s gone. It applies no matter which plan you’re on

There’s no separate Shopify checkout fee when you use Shopify Payments, the regular processing fee covers everything. Third-party checkout tools might add their own costs though.

Yes. Shopify keeps the original processing fee on refunds. On a $100 order you’re still out roughly $3.20–$3.50 even if the customer gets their money back.

Your Shopify subscription is billed in CAD. The Shopify payment calculator shows Canadian pricing, but if you accept USD from US customers you’ll also pay a 1.5% international card fee on top.

At roughly $16,700 monthly revenue on the Basic plan, your Shopify fee per month (plan + processing) usually lands between $530 and $580 CAD. That works out to a Shopify sale fee of about 3.2–3.5% of revenue. The calculator above gives you your exact number.

Here’s the quick Shopify price chart:

  • Basic: $49/month + 2.9% + $0.30
  • Grow: $132/month + 2.7% + $0.30
  • Advanced: $517/month + 2.5% + $0.30

Annual billing saves you about 25% on the plan cost.

All your Shopify fees (processing, transaction, and app costs) are fully deductible business expenses. Tracking them properly lowers your taxable income. If you sell into the US, there are extra cross-border tax details our Shopify fee calculator doesn’t cover.
