Fees

The “Fees” dashboard provides a detailed breakdown of the costs deducted from your gross earnings, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your actual net profit.

How we get these data

Fees data is gathered from Transaction records to support precise financial tracking and transparent business management.

Understand the dashboard

Fee is the total costs that the Developer must pay or be deducted before receiving money into the bank account. Fee structure includes:

  • Revenue Share: Revenue share paid to Shopify.

  • Operational Fees: Transaction processing fees or registration fees (if any).

  • Taxes: Taxes applied according to local laws (VAT/GST) that Shopify collects on behalf or the Developer must pay.

Shopify Fee Policy (Latest Policy)

According to the latest regulations (applied to Shopify App Store):

  • 0% Revenue Share: For the first $1,000,000 USD revenue earned each calendar year (annually).

  • 15% Revenue Share: Applied to revenue exceeding $1,000,000 in that year.

  • Registration Fee: $19 USD (paid once when creating a Partner account, usually not counted in monthly operational metrics).

Where Revenue Share is calculated cumulatively by year (Year-to-date):

  • If Total Revenue (YTD) <= $1,000,000: Revenue Share = 0.

  • If Total Revenue (YTD) > $1,000,000: Revenue Share = 15% * (Revenue of this month). Note: This logic needs to reset to 0 on January 01 every year.

The “Total Fee” chart visualizes the daily fluctuations of your total fees over the selected time period (Day, Week, Month), with a percentage comparison against the previous 31-day period, helping you monitor cost trends relative to revenue.

The breakout table provides a granular daily view of the total fees incurred, allowing for precise auditing of daily expenses

The panels below offer a quick historical comparison of your total fees against your performance from 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months ago to track cost evolution as your business scales.

How Fees data can benefit you

  • Financial Planning: Understanding the fee structure is essential for forecasting your Net Revenue accurately, especially when the App is about to hit the $1 million threshold (when the profit margin will drop by 15%).
