What these numbers mean for you
For this $25.00 item, product cost is set to $7.50 and fulfillment to $5. Shipping collected from customers increases the fee base; shipping paid to carriers reduces profit separately. Advertising takes another 15% of receipts, so adjust acquisition cost before committing to a price.
The calculation applies 0% in platform charges and 2.9% in payment processing, with $0.30 in fixed charges. Basic US online card example. Subscription cost is excluded; allocate it per order under fulfillment / overhead. Percentage fees are calculated on the full modeled receipt before costs are deducted. Each displayed fee is rounded to cents so the breakdown reconciles with the result.
A $25.00 Shopify sale returns $7.72 profit with $7.50 product cost, $5 fulfillment and 15% advertising. This scenario isolates one transaction in US dollars so you can distinguish revenue from spendable income. The result is a planning estimate rather than a settlement promise; your account agreement and country determine the actual deductions.
Compare Shopify with Amazon FBA before choosing a channel. A lower headline percentage does not automatically deliver the best business outcome: customer acquisition, payment protection, dispute handling and conversion can justify a higher deduction. At $25.00, a single percentage point changes the pre-rounding result by $0.25. Use that sensitivity to evaluate a realistic quote instead of assuming every provider supplies the same service.
