What this calculator answers
One yearly figure for a Shopify store in India, with every fee line in it.
Cash on delivery is exempt from Shopify's fee, so the more of your orders are COD, the smaller Shopify's cut. The defaults come from Shopify's published India prices, dated in the guide; your own gateway rate and app bill belong in the boxes.
What it rests on
- Plan prices and Shopify's transaction feeShopify's India pricing page, with the date it was read. Source
- No Shopify Payments in IndiaShopify's list of Shopify Payments countries. Source
- COD is exempt from the feeShopify's help page on third-party transaction fees and manual payment methods. Source
- Your gateway rate and appsYour own statement and app invoices. The boxes take your figures.
What this cannot tell you
Five things to know before you act on the figure, and who made it.
- Your COD shareShopify's fee applies to every sale you enter here. If part of your orders are cash on delivery, the payment mix calculator in the guide takes them out.
- Your negotiated ratesThe gateway rate is a default. Put in the rate on your own statement; many merchants have a different one.
- Tomorrow's pricesShopify changes INR prices and runs offers. Check shopify.com/in/pricing and your own invoice on the day you decide.
- What owning a store would costThis page does not price a build. The guide sets the fees against the cost of owning the stack; for a quote on your scope, talk to us.
- How the GST is accountedWhether you can claim the GST on these fees back depends on your registration. Ask your CA.

Questions about Shopify's fees in India
The one most people ask is answered first. Type to find the rest.
How much does Shopify cost in India per month?
The plan fee, Shopify's transaction fee on gateway orders, your gateway's fee, and GST on the fee lines. On shopify.com/in/pricing (checked 12 October 2026) the plans run from ₹1,499 a month (Basic, yearly billing) to ₹22,680 (Advanced), with Plus from ₹1,75,000. What a given store pays on top depends mostly on its COD share and its gateway rate, which is why a single number misleads.
The fees
It is tiered by plan: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus, on orders paid through a third-party gateway (shopify.com/in/pricing, checked 12 October 2026). With no Shopify Payments in India there is no way to avoid it on prepaid orders. It stacks on top of the gateway's fee and the GST on that fee.
No. Shopify's help centre says third-party transaction fees don't apply to manual payment methods, and cash on delivery is one, along with bank deposits, cheques and test orders. In a COD-heavy store this exemption is significant, and it is the most common omission in published Shopify India cost comparisons.
Shopify does not offer it here: India is not on Shopify's list of Shopify Payments countries, and stores outside that list must use a third-party gateway. So every Indian merchant uses Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU or similar, and Shopify applies its third-party transaction fee on top of the gateway's charges.
The choice
Only above a real threshold, and rarely by as much as it looks. You remove Shopify's cut and the plan fee, but you keep the gateway fee and take on hosting, engineering, PCI scope, fraud tooling and tax handling. Compare annual fees against a developer plus hosting before assuming a saving.
