Rebekah Carter
Articles Shopify

Shopify takes between 2.4% to 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction when using Shopify Payments, depending on your subscription plan. If you choose to use third-party payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe, Shopify adds an additional transaction fee ranging from 0.5% to 2%, also depending on your plan. These fees can add up quickly, especially for high-volume stores, so understanding how they work is crucial to maintaining healthy profit margins.

The exact fee Shopify takes from each sale is tied directly to your monthly subscription plan. As of 2025, Shopify offers Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans, along with Shopify Plus for enterprise-level businesses.
