Quick answer

The Shopify Profit Calculator shows profit per order on Shopify with your plan, card rates, third-party gateway fees, and monthly costs. How it works: Card fee = rate × order + 30¢ (Shopify Payments); Plan cost per order = (monthly plan + apps) ÷ orders a month. For example, with order value of $45, shipping you charge of $0, and shopify plan set to Basic (2.9% + 30¢, $39/mo), the net profit per order is $28.69.

Shopify Profit questions

What fees does Shopify charge per sale?

With Shopify Payments on the Basic plan, online card payments cost 2.9% + $0.30. Higher plans pay less per sale but more each month.

Does Shopify charge a transaction fee?

Only if you use another payment gateway instead of Shopify Payments. Then Shopify adds 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced, on top of the gateway's own fee.

Which Shopify plan is cheapest for my store?

Higher plans have lower card rates but cost more each month. Enter your monthly orders and average order value, then switch plans in the calculator to find where an upgrade pays for itself.

What is a good profit margin for a Shopify store?

It varies by product, but many stores aim to keep 20% or more of revenue as net profit after product cost, fees, shipping and ads. Ads are often the biggest cost to watch.

Does the calculator include the monthly plan cost?

Yes. It spreads the monthly plan fee across your monthly orders so you see its real cost per sale.
