Chargeback drag spreads the cost of lost disputes across every order, so you can see what it does to your real margin.

How it works

  1. Profit before chargebacks = order value − product cost − shipping − payment fees.
  2. Chargeback drag = chargeback rate × the average cost of a dispute (lost sale and fee, adjusted for your win rate).
  3. Profit after = profit before − chargeback drag.

Questions

What are Shopify's payment fees?

They depend on your plan and country, so we leave them editable. The defaults of 2.9% plus 0.30 are a common example, not your rate.

Why does a 1% chargeback rate hurt so much?

Each lost dispute wipes out an entire order's revenue, which is far more than one order's profit. The cost is spread over all orders, so small rates still matter.

Does this include ads and overheads?

No. It covers product, shipping, payment fees and chargebacks only.
