“None” means the platform has no fee of that kind. Percentages are taken on the monthly totals and rounded once, so a real statement can differ by a few cents.
Each platform's estimate is the sum of the fees below, on the sales, orders, shipping, and listings you enter. Open “How each number was figured” under the results for the arithmetic line by line.
A calculator has to decide things a statement would know. These are the decisions, so you can adjust for your own shop.
Every figure in the calculator was read from the page below on the date beside it. Crochetify's prices come from the same file as the pricing page. Rates change; the date tells you how fresh these are.

Several fees, added together. A $0.20 listing fee each time a listing is published or renews, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and payment processing (3% plus $0.25 an order in the US, more in some countries). If the order came through one of Etsy's Offsite Ads, another 15% of the order, or 12% once your shop has sold $10,000 in a year, the point at which taking part stops being optional. The calculator adds these up for your own sales figures and shows each line.
No. Crochetify charges a flat plan, $9 a month on Basic or $19 on Pro, and takes 0% of every sale. The one cost on a sale is card processing, charged by Stripe (2.9% + 30 cents in the US) and taken out before the money reaches your bank. The calculator lists it separately, because it goes to Stripe rather than to Crochetify.
It depends on how much you sell. Etsy's fees grow with every order, while a storefront plan stays flat, so the more you sell the more a flat plan tends to favor you; at a few sales a month Etsy's per-sale fees can total less than a subscription. Enter your own numbers to see where the lines cross. The calculator does not promise savings: Etsy also brings shoppers, and your own site asks you to bring them.
Because a real statement depends on things a calculator cannot see: how many items each order held, which cards your shoppers used, whether tax was charged, and what share of your Etsy orders came through an ad. Percentages here are taken on monthly totals and rounded once, where the platforms round every charge. Treat the results as close, and check the sources for the exact terms.
Payment processing is the card fee the payment processor keeps for moving the money: Stripe for Crochetify and Big Cartel, Shopify Payments for Shopify, Etsy Payments for Etsy. Every platform that takes cards pays one. It is shown on its own row so you can see what a platform itself charges apart from what any card sale costs.
United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia: the countries where every platform in the comparison publishes a rate we could read from its own page. Card and Etsy Payments rates differ by country, so the calculator never applies one country's rate to another. If you sell from elsewhere, pick the closest region and confirm your own rates on the sources listed below.
Every rate was read from the provider's own pricing page or fee policy on the date shown beside it in the sources list, most recently September 3, 2026. Platforms change their fees, so if you spot a rate that has moved, tell us through the contact page and we will update it.
