shopify markets currency conversion fee eating margin
Markets FX and conversion fees show up as ‘high fees’ in payouts. Separate storefront sticker shock from processor take-rate before you reprice.
The actual problem
Cross-border Markets sales look healthy in GMV while FX conversion quietly destroys contribution margin.
Do this
- Pull orders by market for 30 days; separate local-currency vs converted.
- Sum Shopify Markets / FX conversion fees vs gross for those orders.
- Compare against card FX fees if you charge in USD only — pick the cheaper path.
- Turn off low-margin markets until pricing or shipping is fixed.
