How to Configure PayPal Fees in Juicy

Last updated: 4 January 2026 · Applies to PayPal as a payment method

PayPal fees in Juicy come from two different sources: PayPal's own processing fee, which Juicy reads automatically, and a separate fee Shopify may charge on top — which depends entirely on your Shopify plan and whether Shopify Payments is enabled.

1. PayPal processing fees — automatic

Juicy automatically extracts PayPal's own processing fees directly from the transaction receipt received through Shopify. You do not need to enter the flat fee or percentage fee manually — both come straight from your PayPal account.

2. Shopify third-party transaction fees — you must enter this

Shopify may charge an extra fee when customers pay through an external provider like PayPal. Whether this applies to you depends on your plan and your Shopify Payments setting.

If Shopify Payments is enabled

You pay no third-party transaction fees on PayPal payments.

If Shopify Payments is disabled

Shopify charges an additional fee based on your plan:

Shopify plan	Third-party transaction fee
Basic	2%
Grow	1%
Advanced	0.6%

Enter in Juicy: Shopify relative fee = your plan's fee (for example, 2% on the Basic plan). See the current rates on Shopify's pricing page.

Summary

Situation	What to enter in Juicy
Shopify Payments ON	Shopify relative fee = 0%
Shopify Payments OFF	Shopify relative fee = your plan's %
PayPal processing fees	Automatic — no input needed

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to enter PayPal's own fee manually?

No. PayPal's processing fee — both the flat fee and the percentage — is extracted automatically from the transaction receipt Shopify passes to Juicy.

How do I know if Shopify Payments is enabled?

Check Settings → Payments in your Shopify admin. If Shopify Payments is listed as your active provider, it's enabled and your relative fee should be 0%.
