Etsy vs Shopify vs eBay vs TikTok Shop vs WooCommerce fee calculator

The same sales, priced on five platforms. Marketplace fees are a percentage of every order; a store of your own swaps most of that for a fixed monthly cost — this shows where the lines cross for you.
Etsy fees per month
US$637.50
eBay fees per month
US$876.00
TikTok Shop fees per month
US$360.00
Shopify Basic per month
US$246.00
WooCommerce + Stripe per month
US$254.00

What each platform charges (US)

Etsy$0.20 listing + 6.5% transaction + 3% + $0.25 processing, per sale
eBay13.6% final value fee + $0.40 per order (most categories)
TikTok Shop6% referral fee, payment processing included; creator commission extra
Shopify Basic$27 a month + 2.9% + 30¢ per card payment
WooCommerceThe plugin is free; you pay hosting and any paid plugins, plus Stripe’s 2.9% + 30¢

Marketplaces bring buyers; your own store has to find them, and advertising is not included here. Offsite Ads, promoted listings and Shopify apps are also left out.

How it is calculated

Etsy = orders × ($0.20 + order value × 9.5% + $0.25).

eBay = orders × (order value × 13.6% + per-order fee).

TikTok Shop = orders × order value × 6%, before any creator commission.

Shopify Basic = $27 + orders × (order value × 2.9% + $0.30).

WooCommerce = hosting and plugins + orders × (order value × 2.9% + $0.30), using Stripe’s standard US rate.

Questions

Is Etsy or Shopify cheaper?

Per sale, Shopify is usually cheaper once you sell more than a handful of orders a month, because Etsy takes about 9.5% plus fixed fees on every order. But Etsy brings buyers to you; with Shopify you pay to bring them yourself.

Is WooCommerce really free?

The plugin is. Hosting, a domain and any paid extensions are not — enter what you would actually pay, and the comparison updates.

Should I sell on more than one?

Many shops do: a marketplace for discovery and a store of their own for repeat customers, where the fees are lowest.

If you run WooCommerce

If you run the WooCommerce column, WooFinance shows those fees and your real profit for every order, after the fact rather than as an estimate. WooFinance is our plugin; the calculator above works the same whether you use it or not.
