Published on January 10, 2026
Updated Jan 16, 2026
If you use a third-party payment provider, Shopify charges an extra transaction fee by plan. This fee is separate from your provider's processing fees, so it must be modeled together.
Quick fee table (2026)
Third-party fee = order total x plan rate| Plan | Rate | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 2% | order total x 0.02 |
| Grow (Shopify) | 1% | order total x 0.01 |
| Advanced | 0.6% | order total x 0.006 |
Example ($100 order): Basic fee = $2.00. Advanced fee = $0.60.
