What Is The Shopify Fee Calculator?
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.
How To Use The Shopify Pricing Calculator
- Choose monthly or yearly fees: Use the toggle to see how much you can save with an annual plan.
- Select your payment method: Indicate whether you're using Shopify Payments or a third-party gateway.
- Enter your sales volume: Input your average order value and the number of sales you expect per month.
- Review your estimated costs: The calculator will break down the total fees for the Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans.
Understanding Shopify Fees
When using Shopify, your main costs will come from subscriptions and transaction fees.
Primary Costs
- Shopify Subscription: A fixed monthly or yearly fee for using the platform. Higher-tier plans offer more features and lower transaction rates.
- Transaction Fees: If you don't use Shopify Payments, Shopify charges an additional fee on each sale (2% for Basic, 1% for Shopify, 0.5% for Advanced).
- Credit Card Rates: Both Shopify Payments and third-party gateways charge a percentage and a fixed fee to process credit card transactions.
Additional Costs
- Domain Name: While you get a free `.myshopify.com` domain, a custom domain (e.g., `yourstore.com`) costs about $15-$20 per year.
- Shopify Apps: Many apps in the Shopify App Store have monthly subscription fees, which can add up.
- Premium Themes: To get a unique design, you might purchase a premium theme, which is a one-time cost of around $100-$500.
Tips To Cut Down Shopify Fees
- Subscribe Annually: You can save up to 25% on your subscription fees by committing to an annual plan.
- Use Shopify Payments: If available in your country, using Shopify Payments eliminates Shopify's extra transaction fees.
- Choose the Right Plan: Use this calculator to ensure you're on the most cost-effective plan for your sales volume. A higher-tier plan can be cheaper if you have a high number of sales, due to the lower transaction rates.
