Calculate per-order profit and monthly store economics after product cost, fulfillment, payment processing, advertising, refunds, hosting, plugins and maintenance.
Presets are starting points only. Replace with your actual account rate.
These costs are allocated across the monthly order volume you enter.
Use this page for your WooCommerce cost model, then compare the same product against Shopify's plan and payment economics.
Compare with Shopify →The calculator starts with customer revenue, subtracts product, fulfillment, payment processing, advertising and other per-order costs, then allocates your monthly store ownership costs across order volume. This produces both fully loaded profit per order and bottom-line monthly profit.
WooCommerce itself is open-source ecommerce software, but running a store can still require hosting, paid extensions, development, maintenance, domain registration and other infrastructure. That makes total cost of ownership highly store-specific.
WooCommerce gives merchants flexibility to choose payment providers. Processing rates can vary by provider, country, card type, currency and account. The gateway buttons are therefore editable presets rather than claims that one universal rate applies.
A low-cost store may have only modest hosting and extension costs, while a more customized store can spend materially more on infrastructure and development. Allocating those monthly costs across orders lets you see when a product that looks profitable before overhead is less attractive after full store costs.
The two platforms use different cost structures. WooCommerce generally shifts more infrastructure and maintenance decisions to the merchant, while Shopify bundles more into hosted plans. The better economic choice depends on your actual hosting, extensions, development, payment setup, volume and operational needs.
WooCommerce itself does not use the same built-in revenue-share model as some hosted platforms. Payment gateways and your own store infrastructure still create costs.
Include them when you want fully loaded profitability. Set them to zero if you only want contribution profit before monthly overhead.
No. They are editable starting assumptions. Use the processing rate and fixed fee that actually apply to your country, account and payment method.
They estimate how many monthly orders are needed for contribution profit before monthly overhead to cover the monthly hosting, extension, domain, maintenance and other fixed store costs you entered.
