Our engineering team has built a Shopify Fee Calculator to assist business owners with the crucial decision of launching their Shopify stores. Let\u2019s take a look at how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Shopify fee calculator is a helpful tool that estimates how much Shopify retailers would pay corresponding to each Shopify plan and helps them decide which will make the most financial sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve made it incredibly simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s use an example. Assuming a store has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is how much each Shopify plan would cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are all the expenses you should be aware of when using the Shopify platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shopify is offering five subscriptions at different prices and features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To gain further insight into each Shopify plan, check out our detailed guide of Shopify Pricing Plans<\/a><\/strong>. Please note that these prices are for stores in the US; pricing may vary in other countries and regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to try Shopify before committing to an active monthly plan, you can sign up for a 3-day free trial<\/b><\/a> and enjoy the $1\/month for the first three-month<\/b><\/a> deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With every sale, you will have to pay Shopify a fee for processing your customer\u2019s purchase thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no transaction fees for stores using Shopify Payments – a payment gateway built by Shopify. However, it is only currently available in Australia<\/b><\/a>, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Ireland, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand<\/b><\/a>, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom<\/a><\/b>, and the United States (excluding the US territories except Puerto Rico).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your country is not on the list, you may need to use third-party payment gateways such as Paypal or Stripe. Remember that additional fees will be 2%, 1%, or 0.5% for Shopify Basic, Shopify Standard, and Shopify Advanced plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shopify showcases fees based on the selected subscription Shopify plan. The rates and fees for credit card transactions are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some other costs you can encounter with an online Shopify store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When setting up your shop, Shopify provides a free subdomain of \u201cmyshopify.com\u201d. However, if you want your Shopify store to be more professional, it is recommended to have a domain like \u201cshopname.com\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The great news is that Shopify provides the option to purchase a custom domain at an affordable price, typically around $15 to $20 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shopify offers its merchants an easy way to enhance their stores\u2019 functionality with over 8,000 apps from the Shopify App Store. These apps provide a wide range of assistance, including marketing tools, inventory management, shipping and tracking, customer service, and much more, with many being free or at least starting free. However, some apps require a monthly fee that varies based on the functions they provide, usually from 9.99 US a month or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s no limit on how many apps you can install in your Shopify stores, yet the price will likely add up, so it\u2019s important to choose only the essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While various free themes are available on the Shopify Theme Store, many Shopify retailers opt for premium themes to give their Shopify stores a more professional and unique look. Using a premium Shopify theme can be an additional expense as it can range in price from around $100 to $500, depending on the complexity, features, and customizability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, investing in a premium Shopify theme can improve the customer experience, leading to increased brand recognition and ultimately benefiting your marketing efforts in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When selling in-person, Shopify offers its merchants a solution with the Shopify POS system. To get started with Shopify POS, you must subscribe to a Shopify plan (from Basic shopify plan and up) and buy some forms of hardware like a card reader, barcode reader, barcode printer, receipt printer, and a device to run the Shopify POS app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the prices of some of the standard hardware accessories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider upgrading to Shopify POS Pro if you want to unlock more features, but keep in mind that it costs 89 USD per month per store location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A chargeback happens when customers ask their card-issuing bank to reverse a transaction. E-commerce merchants using Shopify payments will occasionally experience them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a bank sends you a chargeback, Shopify will charge you a processing fee. If you win the chargeback dispute, Shopify will refund this fee. Usually, it\u2019s 15 USD for Shopify merchants in the United States. You can view the prices for other countries or regions here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you accept payment in a currency different from your payout currency, Shopify charges to convert money when you capture a payment. The conversion fee is based on your store\u2019s primary country:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shopify Email is a cost-effective way to reach customers and promote your business through email marketing. All merchants with a paid Shopify subscription plan have 10,000 free emails to send at the beginning of every month. You can purchase additional emails at 0.001 USD per email if you need to send more than the allotted number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have specific requirements that the built-in functionality of Shopify can\u2019t fulfill, you may need to hire professionals who can assist you in customizing your store and adding features unique to your business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cost of hiring an expert varies depending on their experience, skills, and the complexity of the customization required. You can discover the right expert for your customization needs by exploring the Shopify Expert marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These costs include packaging, shipping labels, labor, and transportation. There are several shipping strategies for Shopify merchants to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppose you choose to use flat-rate shipping, free shipping, or local delivery. In that case, it is crucial to calculate your shipping fees accurately by considering the average price for shipping a package. It will help ensure that you are not overcharging or undercharging for shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\nShopify Transaction fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
