Worked example: a $55.00 Shopify sale
Suppose you sell an item for $55.00 and charge $7.00 shipping. The gross sale is $62.00. Here is how Shopify arrives at what you keep:
- Payment processing (2.9% × $62.00 + $0.30)−$2.10
- Total fees−$2.10
- Net payout$59.90
Total fees come to $2.10 (3.4% of the gross sale). After the fees and any platform-handled shipping deductions shown above, the net payout is $59.90. After your $16.00 item cost and $6.00 shipping paid separately, the profit is $37.90 — a 68.9% margin on the item price.

These models use a common item price with no shipping, ads, item cost, or cross-border surcharge. Each product keeps its own default sale type, category, plan, and payment method, so the table compares modeled seller deductions — not equivalent services or total buyer cost. Shopify’s modeled deduction is $1.90 (3.5%).

How Shopify fees work
This model uses US Shopify Payments standard card rates: online Basic 2.9% + $0.30, Grow 2.7% + $0.30, Advanced 2.5% + $0.30; in person Basic 2.6% + $0.10, Grow 2.5% + $0.10, Advanced 2.4% + $0.10. International online cards add 1%, modeled by the cross-border option for online methods only. Premium cards, PayPal Wallet and other methods have different rates. Third-party gateways add a separate Shopify transaction fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow or 0.6% on Advanced, plus the gateway's processing; those fees and monthly subscriptions are not included in this Shopify Payments calculation. Apps, themes and advertising are separate costs.
