A fee Shopify charges when you take payments through another provider: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced, on top of that provider's own fee.

Only at higher volume. Grow saves 0.2 percentage points on standard cards versus Basic. Paid monthly it costs $66 more ($105 vs $39), so it pays off once you process about $33,000 a month online. Paid yearly the gap is $50 ($79 vs $29), so about $25,000 a month.

Yes. Shopify works out the third-party fee as product price after discounts, plus tax and shipping, times your plan rate. It is not refunded when you refund an order. Orders paid through Shopify Payments, Shop Pay and manual methods such as cash on delivery pay no transaction fee.

It depends on the product, so there is no single target. Use this calculator with your own costs, and include ad spend per order: paid ads often take a large share of the margin left after product, shipping and fees.
