Shopify Payments Fees (France, 2025)

Note: Fees may vary depending on your business location. Always check the official Shopify – Pricing page to confirm the rates applicable to your store.

Why activate Shopify Payments?

• Avoid third-party fees: If you use a third-party payment gateway, Shopify applies additional fees (varying by plan). With Shopify Payments, these fees do not apply.
• Optimized conversion: Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay reduce cart abandonment and improve conversion.
• Simplified management: Reconciliations, refunds, and disputes centralized within Shopify.

Additional fees to be aware of

• Currency conversion: +2% on top of the base rate (if you sell in a different currency than the store's currency).
• Chargeback: €15 (refunded if you win the dispute).

Concrete example (commissions only)

You sell with the Grow plan, average cart €50, 100 transactions/month, EEA cards:

• Shopify Payments commission: 1.3% of €50 (= €0.65) + €0.25 = €0.90 per transaction.
• Monthly fees (100 transactions): 100 × €0.90 = €90.

By using Shopify Payments, you avoid compensatory transaction fees charged when using a third-party gateway, which directly improves your margin. For a precise analysis of your case, contact our experts.
