Topic summary

A merchant is seeking a way to pass payment processing fees directly to customers at checkout, rather than absorbing the costs or adding them to product prices or shipping charges.

Specific Requirements:

  • Fee should be calculated and displayed at checkout based on the customer’s chosen payment method (credit card, PayPal, Afterpay, etc.)
  • Not interested in bundling fees into product pricing or shipping costs
  • Looking for apps or native Shopify functionality to accomplish this

Current Situation:

  • Shopify support has only suggested incorporating fees into product or shipping prices
  • No native Shopify feature currently allows merchants to set percentage-based fees per payment method
  • The discussion remains unresolved with no solutions provided

Community Sentiment:
Multiple users express frustration that this isn’t a standard feature across Shopify plans, particularly given the platform’s maturity.

Hi, Can anyone help/advise.

I’m really not finding this information anywhere elsewhere, and Shopify help just suggests to add the fee to my products or shipping. This is just not right.

Is there a way to charge the customer the Shopify payments transaction fee, instead taking it on yourself?

Any apps available? I don’t wish to add it to the product or to shipping.

I want it added at checkout, So at checkout, the customer pays for the transaction fee, associated with their preferred method of payment. Ie Credit Card or third party provider such as afterpay or paypal etc.

It really should be a standard feature apart of any shopify plan.
