What do you actually keep on a Shopify order?

Enter one product. See your real per-order profit after payment fees — the number most founders never look at.

Every field below is yours to change — including the fees.

Selling price (what the customer pays)

Discount on this order

Discount codes, promos, or automatic discounts. Your processor charges its fee on what the customer actually pays, so this lowers the fee too.

Cost per unit (COGS)

Shipping & packaging

What the order costs you to pack and ship. Leave at 0 if the customer pays it.

Your processor’s fees — change these to match your plan

Pre-filled with Shopify Payments (2.9% + $0.30). On Stripe, PayPal, Shop Pay or a different Shopify plan, type your own.

Payment fee %

Flat fee per order

Return rate (optional — leave at 0 to skip)

Share of orders that come back. Adds an average-across-many-orders figure below; it does not change your per-order profit.

Profit per order

$28.57

Payment fee

$1.43

You keep after discount & fees

$37.57

Profit margin

73%

After discounts, payment fees, product cost, and any shipping you enter. Excludes advertising and overhead.

On this order you actually keep $28.57 after discounts, fees, product cost, and any shipping you enter. Now multiply that across every SKU, every refund, and every order — that's the number that decides whether you're really making money. Most Shopify dashboards never show it per order.
