Keeping More of Every Shopify Sale
Shopify Payments fees vary by your subscription plan, and the difference between Basic and Advanced can be meaningful once you’re doing real volume. Add in international sales, currency conversion, and the fact that using third-party gateways adds an extra transaction fee on top — and it’s clear that your payment setup deserves a proper financial look. This calculator helps you model the actual per-transaction and monthly cost for your store.
Use it when you’re deciding whether upgrading your Shopify plan would pay for itself in reduced processing fees, when you’re calculating net margins on new products, or when you want to see how much of your revenue is silently going to payment infrastructure. Getting this number right is one of the fastest ways to improve effective margins without touching your pricing.
