What is the Shopify Transaction Fee Calculator?
Shopify's real online payment processing rate depends on which plan you're subscribed to — Basic, Shopify, Advanced or Plus — with higher-tier plans getting a lower percentage-plus-fixed rate when using Shopify Payments. Choose your plan and this tool applies the real published rate for that tier automatically.
If you use an external payment gateway instead of Shopify Payments, Shopify adds an extra published percentage on top (highest on Basic, dropping to none on Plus) as a real additional transaction fee — select your payment method and that's added in automatically too, so the total reflects what you'd genuinely be charged.

Questions people ask
Does the Shopify plan really change my payment processing rate?
Yes — Shopify's published Shopify Payments rates genuinely get lower as you move from Basic to Shopify to Advanced to Plus.
What is the external gateway fee?
An additional percentage Shopify charges when you use a payment gateway other than Shopify Payments, published per plan and highest on Basic, dropping toward 0% on Plus — it's added on top of that gateway's own fees.
Is the Shopify Plus rate exact?
Plus pricing is commonly negotiated per merchant, so the figure here is a representative published starting rate, not a guaranteed number — confirm your actual contract.
Is my data stored?
