Shopify Fees Overview

Unraveling the Fine Print: Overview of All Shopify Fees

Shopify offers a variety of plans and associated fees depending on the level of service and features you need for your e-commerce store. Here's an overview of the main Shopify fees:

1. Subscription Fees

These are the monthly or yearly charges depending on the plan you choose:

  • Shopify Starter: $5/month – Basic link-sharing features, no complete storefront.

  • Basic Shopify: $39/month – Includes online store, unlimited products, and basic features.

  • Shopify (Standard): $105/month – Adds more advanced reporting, and lower credit card fees.

  • Advanced Shopify: $399/month – Includes advanced reporting, lower transaction fees, and more staff accounts.

  • Shopify Plus: Starting at $2,000/month – Enterprise-level solution for large businesses with highly customizable features.

2. Transaction Fees

If you use third-party payment gateways (like PayPal or Stripe), Shopify charges an additional transaction fee. If you use Shopify Payments, you avoid these fees.

  • Basic Shopify: 2.0% per transaction.

  • Shopify (Standard): 1.0% per transaction.

  • Advanced Shopify: 0.5% per transaction.

Using Shopify Payments eliminates these transaction fees, and you only pay credit card processing fees.

3. Credit Card Processing Fees

These apply to every transaction, including those processed through Shopify Payments:

  • Basic Shopify: 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction (online), 2.7% (in-person).

  • Shopify (Standard): 2.6% + 30¢ per transaction (online), 2.5% (in-person).

  • Advanced Shopify: 2.4% + 30¢ per transaction (online), 2.4% (in-person).

Rates may vary based on the country you’re selling in.

4. Additional App Fees

If you add third-party apps from the Shopify App Store (for additional functionality such as SEO tools, marketing, or advanced analytics), there may be extra monthly or one-time fees associated with those apps.

5. Theme Fees

Shopify provides free themes, but premium themes are available for purchase, usually priced between $100 and $350 for one-time fees.

6. Domain Fees

If you want a custom domain, you can purchase it through Shopify. Domain prices typically range from $11 to $20 per year, depending on the domain name.

7. Email Marketing

Shopify Email is free up to 10,000 emails per month. After that, you are charged $1 for every 1,000 additional emails sent.

8. Shipping Fees

Shopify offers discounted shipping rates from major carriers (like USPS, UPS, and DHL). Shipping rates depend on the service and package size, but Shopify provides discounts based on the plan level (up to 88% off for Shopify Plus).

9. Currency Conversion Fees

If you’re selling in multiple currencies, Shopify may apply a currency conversion fee of 1.5% (for Basic and Standard) or 1.0% (for Advanced) on top of the payment processing fees.

Summary of Shopify Fees:

  • Subscription: Monthly or yearly cost, depending on plan.

  • Transaction fees: Vary by plan and payment gateway.

  • Credit card fees: Per-transaction fees applied for credit card purchases.

  • App fees: Fees for using third-party apps.

  • Theme and domain fees: Optional, for premium services.

  • Shipping: Varies based on carrier discounts.

By understanding these different fees, you can budget appropriately for your Shopify store and choose the plan and services that best suit your business needs.
