- Third-party transaction fee applies when using a third-party payment provider instead of Shopify Payments.
- International card rates are shown on Shopify pricing as +1% over standard card rates.
- Source includes multiple mentions of plan prices; use only the fee fields defined by the template.
Official sources
Compliance note
Derived from Shopify's official pricing page. Card rates and third-party transaction fees are explicitly listed. The page also shows monthly plan prices, but the required JSON shape for shopifyPlans does not include monthlyFee, so those values are not represented except in the note for uncertainty. California tax treatment is not calculated here.
FAQ
Does this include California sales tax?
No. The Shopify pricing page is about platform fees, not California sales tax.
Why is the Plus monthly fee uncertain?
The source text contains both 'Plus from $2,300 /mo' and 'Start for $399' in different places, but the required schema here does not have a monthlyFee field for shopifyPlans.
