Shopify Advanced 'Rest Of World' Credit Card Rates

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Issue: A UK merchant on the standard Shopify plan saw domestic Shopify Payments rates of 1.7% + £0.25 and a “rest of world” rate of 2.7% + £0.25. They considered upgrading to Shopify Advanced (advertised domestic rate 1.5% + £0.25) but couldn’t find the “rest of world” rate for Advanced.

Discovery hurdles: Despite checking support docs and a one-hour chat with a Shopify advisor, the merchant couldn’t confirm the Advanced “rest of world” rate. The settings display appeared ambiguous.

Resolution: The merchant later found the information in their settings and confirmed the “rest of world” rate on Shopify Advanced is 2.5% (noted as displayed somewhat ambiguously). Screenshots were shared to substantiate the finding.

Outcome: Question resolved with a concrete figure (2.5% for “rest of world” on Advanced). No further action items; thread closed informally by the original poster’s update.

I’m currently on the standard Shopify plan as a merchant in the UK. Shopify Pay transaction rates are advertised as 1.7% + £0.25 GBP which is borne out by what I see in settings. But I also see that applies only to ‘domestic’ transaction and that the transaction rate is 2.7% + £0.25 GBP for ‘rest of world’.

I’m contemplating an upgrade to Shopify Advanced and the transaction rates are advertised as 1.5% + £0.25 GBP but I’m sure this relates only to ‘domestic’ transactions.

I cannot find information on the rate for ‘rest of world’ transactions in any support document. After a one hour chat with a Shopify Advicor, I still don’t have the answer. How is it possible for me to upgrade to Shopify Advanced without knowing how much it will cost?

Is there anyone out there in the UK using Shopify Advanced that can enlighten me?

Thanks

Problem solved. User error on my part. The information is displayed, albeit in a alightly ambiguous way. The answer is 2.5%
