Does Shopify Charge Per Transaction?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:59 pm

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. Shopify offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features. One of the questions we often hear from potential Shopify users is “does Shopify charge per transaction?”

The short answer is no – Shopify does not charge per transaction. There are two main reasons for this. First, Shopify is a subscription-based service, so users pay a monthly or yearly fee to use the platform.

Second, Shopify uses a “payment gateway” to process transactions. A payment gateway is a service that helps to facilitate credit card payments between a merchant and a customer.

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to sell products or services, be aware that they do charge a per-transaction fee. This fee is based on the total amount of the sale, including shipping and tax. For example, if you sell a product for $100 with shipping and tax of $10, your total transaction fee would be $3.

While Shopify does not charge per transaction, there are other fees that may be associated with credit card processing. These fees are typically charged by the payment gateway and vary depending on the gateway you use. For example, PayPal typically charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

Conclusion:
Shopify does not charge per transaction. However, other fees such as credit card processing fees may be associated with using Shopify. These fees are typically charged by the payment gateway and vary depending on which gateway you use.
