Paypal takes fee?

Hi community,

it looks like paypal says they do not take a fee but, at the end after an order from a client paid with paypall, paypall takes a big fee.

Someone know more?

Thanks community.

kind regards,

This doesn’t seem related to the Shopify API, so I’d recommend asking here: https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/bd-p/payments-shipping-fulfilment

or contacting Shopify support directly.

You need to look into the term “Merchant” you are a merchant and your account falls under these terms for accepting payments, you need to refer your questions directly to PayPal. The merchant terms link is here: https://www.paypal.com/au/business/paypal-business-fees

Additionally Shopify take a cut of your money simply for allowing you to sell on their platform. So your money is double dipped before entering your pocket (minus taxes). As a rough guide your sell price is about - Minus 5-10% profit after transaction fees occur, but varies heavily and the more volumes of sales the better deals you generally can get and is worth negotiating.
