Example calculation
Scenario
Inputs: product_cost = 20, shipping = 6, profit = 10, fee = 16% (0.16).
Inputs
  • product_cost = 20
  • shipping = 6
  • profit = 10
  • fee = 16% (0.16)
Expected Result
Recommended price: $ 42.86 | Profit margin: 23.33%
Compute
SP = (20 + 6 + 10) / (1 - 0.16)
SP = 36 / 0.84
SP = 42.86
Verify Profit
Fee: 42.86 x 0.16 = 6.86
42.86 - 6.86 - 20 - 6 = 10
Marketplace explanation

Shopify is not a marketplace referral-fee model, but your effective selling cost depends on plan subscription and payment processing setup.

  • US online card rates on Shopify plans are typically in the 2.5% to 2.9% + $0.30 range.
  • Third-party payment provider fees typically vary by plan (for example, around 0.6% to 2%).
  • Using Shopify Payments can reduce or remove many third-party transaction fees.
