If you’re running a Shopify store, reselling trending products, or launching your own brand, Shop App is designed to help you connect with customers, streamline sales, and build long-term loyalty. This guide walks you through how to set up your store and start selling successfully.

How Shop App Works

Shop App isn’t just another shopping platform—it’s a powerful digital assistant designed by Shopify to make buying and selling effortless.

For consumers, it provides real-time order tracking, personalized shopping recommendations, and Shop Pay’s fast one-click checkout.

For merchants, it’s a game-changer—integrating directly with Shopify, so you can manage inventory, process orders, and engage with customers in one place. Plus, built-in marketing tools and storefront customization help you stand out in a competitive market.

Where Is Shop App Available?

As of 2025, Shop App is available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Japan, with continued expansion across Europe and Asia.

While international shipping is supported, sellers should confirm shipping eligibility for different regions. Customs regulations, logistics, and country restrictions can impact where orders can be shipped, so always check Shopify’s guidelines.

Shop App’s Fees & Selling Costs (Updated 2025)

Unlike platforms like eBay or Etsy, Shop App doesn’t charge sales commissions. That means more money stays in your pocket. However, you’ll still need to consider payment processing fees and transaction costs, depending on your Shopify plan and payment method.

Transaction Fees—What You Pay Per Sale

1. Using Shopify Payments (Recommended)
   • 0% transaction fees—Shopify doesn’t take a cut from your sales.
   • Payment processing fee: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (U.S. credit card payments).
   • Fees vary by country and Shopify plan—higher-tier plans may offer lower rates.
2. Using Third-Party Payment Providers
   • If you use an external payment gateway instead of Shopify Payments, Shopify charges an extra fee per transaction:
   • 2.0% per transaction for sellers on the Basic Shopify plan.
   • Lower fees available for higher-tier Shopify plans.

How Much Will You Make? (Example Calculation)

Let’s say you sell an item for $50, and the buyer pays $5 for shipping and $4.50 in tax, making the total transaction amount $59.50.

• Payment Processing Fee (2.9% of $59.50 + $0.30): $2.03
• Net Earnings with Shopify Payments: $57.47
• Net Earnings with a Third-Party Payment Provider (Basic Plan, 2.0% fee included): $56.28

If you’re using an external payment provider, your profit shrinks further. This is why Shopify Payments is the better choice for most merchants.

Promotions & Discounts

Shopify occasionally reduces processing fees for high-volume sellers and seasonal promotions. Merchants who subscribe to annual Shopify plans may also receive discounts on subscription fees.

By understanding these fees and available discounts, you can optimize your pricing strategy and maximize your profits while selling on Shop App.

Final Thoughts—Is Shop App Worth It?

Absolutely. Shop App is a powerful tool for Shopify merchants looking to expand their reach and boost sales. With its cost-effective fee structure, built-in marketing tools, and international expansion, it’s a smart choice for e-commerce sellers.

But don’t forget—keeping your privacy intact is just as important. Using PingMe’s virtual phone numbers, you can verify your Shop App account without exposing your personal number.
