What are the transaction fees on Shopify, and how do I avoid them?
Two different fees get confused here. First, your payment gateway's own processing charge (e.g. around 2% on a gateway like Razorpay). Second, Shopify's transaction fee — which only applies if you use a third-party gateway instead of Shopify Payments, and it's lower on higher plans (highest on Basic, lowest on Advanced/Plus) — https://saaskart.co/software/shopify.
To minimise fees: use Shopify Payments where available, or factor the third-party fee into your plan choice at volume.
Are you comparing the total effective rate across plans?
