How much does Shopify take per sale in 2026?

With Shopify Payments there is no marketplace commission — you pay card processing (Basic 2.9% + $0.30, Shopify 2.7% + $0.30, Advanced 2.5% + $0.30 in the US). If you use a third-party gateway instead, Shopify adds a transaction fee of 2% (Basic), 1% (Shopify) or 0.5% (Advanced). Your real cost also includes your monthly plan and apps spread across orders, plus any ad spend.

Subtract card processing, any third-party gateway fee, your monthly plan and apps (divided by your monthly orders), your product, labor, packaging and shipping costs, and ad spend from your revenue (item price + shipping charged). This free calculator does it instantly.

How do I find the right price?

Work backward from the margin you want. Because processing and your fixed plan cost scale differently with price, the math is fiddly — the full spreadsheet solves it for you in one cell.
