BigBox

WooCommerce’s Stripe payment gateway integration is freely available alongside the free WooCommerce eCommerce platform. Unlike Shopify which charges an additional transaction fee of 0.20% for using a 3rd party payment gateway, WooCommerce charges no additional fee.

	WooCommerce + Stripe	Shopify + Stripe
Fee	0.29% + $0.30	0.29% + $0.30 + 0.20%

An extra 0.20% might not seem like much at first, but it adds up very quickly. See the table below. When using Stripe processing with Shopify you are losing $1 on every $50 (vs WooCommerce). Selling more than $300/month means a loss the same as the monthly price of BigBox — paying for itself effortlessly!

	Takehome
Sale	WooCommerce	Shopify	Loss
$50	$48.25	$47.25	$1
$100	$96.8	$94.8	$2
$150	$145.35	$142.35	$3
$200	$193.9	$189.9	$4
$250	$242.45	$237.45	$5
$300	$291	$285	$6
$350	$339.55	$332.55	$7
$400	$388.1	$380.1	$8
$450	$436.65	$427.65	$9
$500	$485.2	$475.2	$10
$550	$533.75	$522.75	$11
$600	$582.3	$570.3	$12
$650	$630.85	$617.85	$13
$700	$679.4	$665.4	$14
$750	$727.95	$712.95	$15
$800	$776.5	$760.5	$16
$850	$825.05	$808.05	$17
$900	$873.6	$855.6	$18
$950	$922.15	$903.15	$19
$1000	$970.7	$950.7	$20

As illustrated above the higher your item price is the more is lost per sale when having to pay Shopify’s additional 0.20%.

These fees apply to all 3rd party Shopify payment processor usage. WooCommerce offers over 80 payment processing extensions that incur no additional transaction fees when used alongside WooCommerce.
