Pricing
Markets Pro has the following fees for international orders:
- A 6.5% per transaction fee that includes payment processing fee.
- A 2.5% currency conversion fee that is paid by your customer. The currency conversion fee is automatically added to the product price and can be adjusted in your Shopify admin.
Markets Pro doesn't have a monthly fee, and there's no set time period that you need to commit to using Markets Pro. You can stop using Markets Pro at any time.
Flow of funds
Markets Pro features are powered by Global-e. After an international Markets Pro order is placed in your store, Global-e processes the transaction and holds the money in their account.
When Global-e goes across the border, they act as your merchant of record. Global-e holds the funds to remit the costs to proper authorities that are involved in the cross-border commerce transaction.
After Global-e remits all the costs, such as taxes and duties, you receive a payout of the remaining money.
Getting paid
Transaction data for fulfilled orders is aggregated on the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd day of the month. Unfulfilled orders aren't included in payouts.
Each payment includes all transactions that occurred since the last payment period. Payment is sent within 1-3 business days, and in most cases takes a few additional days to be available in your bank account. The transaction data contains a full breakdown of all costs and fees involved for every fulfilled order. The breakdown of fees includes taxes, duties, remitted VAT, shipping costs, and the Markets Pro processing fee.
You can find your payout information in your Shopify admin.
Steps:
- In your Shopify admin, go to Finances > Payouts.
- Click Transactions.
- Click More filters.
- Click Payment method.
- Select Markets Pro.
- Click Done.
Calculating Markets Pro payouts
You can use the following calculation to calculate Markets Pro payouts:
Total order cost
– (remitted tax/VAT + remitted duty + remitted shipping cost + processing fee + currency conversion fee)
= Amount paid
For example, when an order is placed for a shirt for a total cost of 150 EUR, the total breakdown of an order is the following:
- a shirt costs 120 EUR (paid by customer)
- duties cost 5 EUR
- taxes/VAT cost 10 EUR
- international shipping costs 15 EUR
- Markets Pro processing fee is 5.4 EUR
In this example, your customer pays 150 EUR to Global-e. Global-e remits the following costs:
- the cost of 10 EUR tax/VAT to the government
- the cost of 5 EUR duties to customs agencies
- the shipping cost of 15 EUR to DHL
The transaction fee of 5.4 EUR (6.5%) is paid as the Markets Pro processing fee.
After all these costs are taken out, you receive 114.6 EUR.
