How it works

Choose your plan and billing, whether you take payments with Shopify Payments or another provider, then enter the order and your costs. Shopify’s rates come from its Canadian pricing page and GST/HST rates from the Canada Revenue Agency, both linked below the calculator.

Card fee. Shopify Payments charges a percentage plus 30¢ on the amount that goes through the card. Standard Canadian cards pay 2.8% on Basic down to 2.15% on Plus. Amex and cards issued outside Canada pay 3.5% on Basic down to 3.15% on Plus.

Another provider. If you use PayPal, Stripe or another gateway instead, enter its rate and fixed fee. Shopify then adds its third-party transaction fee: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus.

GST/HST. Canadian prices are listed before tax. If you’re registered, GST/HST at the buyer’s provincial rate is added at checkout, from 5% to 15%. It goes through the card, so the card fee applies to it, and you pass the tax on to the CRA. Provincial sales tax isn’t included.

Plan and profit. Enter your monthly orders to spread the plan’s cost over each order. Profit is the payout minus any GST/HST owed and your item, shipping and other costs. Set a profit target to see the lowest price that reaches it, and copy a link to share the numbers.

Example

A C$50.00 item with C$5.00 shipping on Basic billed yearly, costing C$23.00 to make and send.

FAQ

With Shopify Payments, Canadian stores pay an online card rate of 2.8% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.6% + 30¢ on Grow, 2.4% + 30¢ on Advanced and 2.15% + 30¢ on Plus. On a C$55 order on Basic that is C$1.84. Amex and international cards cost more, and the monthly plan comes on top of the card fees.

How much do Shopify plans cost in Canada?

Billed yearly, Basic is C$37 a month, Grow C$99 and Advanced C$389. Billed monthly they are C$49, C$132 and C$517. Plus starts at C$3,400 a month. Shopify’s Canadian pricing page lists these in CAD; enter your monthly orders in the calculator to see what the plan adds to each order.

What are Shopify’s Amex and international card rates in Canada?

On Canadian plans, Amex cards and cards issued outside Canada cost the same online rate: 3.5% + 30¢ on Basic, 3.4% on Grow, 3.3% on Advanced and 3.15% on Plus. On a C$55 Basic order that is C$2.23 instead of C$1.84 for a standard Canadian card.

Does Shopify charge its card fee on GST/HST?

The card fee is a percentage of what goes through the card, and when you charge GST/HST at checkout the tax is part of that amount. A C$55 order to Ontario with 13% HST charges C$62.15 to the card, so the Basic fee is C$2.04 rather than C$1.84. The HST itself goes to the CRA. Tick the box and choose the buyer’s province to see it.

What is the Shopify third-party transaction fee in Canada?

If you take payments through a provider other than Shopify Payments, Shopify adds a third-party transaction fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus, on top of your provider’s own fee. Choose Another provider in the calculator and enter your provider’s rate to compare the two.

Which Shopify plan is cheapest for my Canadian store?

Moving from Basic to Grow costs C$62 more a month on yearly billing and cuts the online card rate by 0.2 points, so on card fees alone it pays for itself at about C$31,000 a month of card sales. Grow also adds staff accounts. Try each plan in the calculator with your monthly orders to compare the total per order.
