Shopify Seller Fees 2026 — Understand plans, transactions, apps, and hidden costs.
| Plan | Monthly Fee | Online Transaction Fee (Shopify Payments) | Third-Party Payment Fee Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $29 | 2.9%+$0.30 | Additional 2% |
| Standard | $79 | 2.6%+$0.30 | Additional 1% |
| Advanced | $299 | 2.4%+$0.30 | Additional 0.6% |
In addition to plan Fees, Shopify sellers must also consider: domain fees ($10–15/year), app subscriptions (average $30–80/month), theme costs (free–$350 one-time), and shipping cost discounts. Cost control key: Use Shopify Payments to avoid third-party transaction surcharges, subscribe only to essential apps, and regularly remove unused applications.
For a store with $10,000 monthly sales, using Shopify Payments can save $1,200–$2,400 annually compared to third-party payment processors.
WooCommerce is free itself but requires purchasing hosting and a domain, with monthly costs around $15–30. Shopify is easier to start with but becomes more expensive long-term (after more than 50 orders/month).
Using Shopify Payments eliminates additional transaction fees (you only pay the standard fee rate). If you use third-party payment processors, an extra 0.6%–2% is charged per transaction.
