Payment fee rules
What this file is
Payment fee rules are what each gateway charges per transaction: a percentage of the amount plus a fixed fee. One row per provider is enough to compute what payments really cost you, and to see why smaller baskets quietly pay a higher effective rate.
What is inside
One header row, one filled example.
One row per payment provider you accept. The fixed fee column is the one that matters most: it is why a falling average order value raises your effective fee rate without any rate changing.
Rows 1 and 2 are the file. Click any cell to read it; the foot of the sheet says what its column is for.

Behind the file
Why it is built this way.
Every gateway prices the same way, a percentage of the charged amount plus a fixed fee per transaction, and the fixed fee is the half people forget. On a €25 order, €0,25 is a whole percent before the percentage even starts; on a €250 order the same fee is noise. That is why a falling average order value raises your blended rate while no rate changed anywhere.
Rates differ by gateway, by region and by your own agreement, so the example row is a starting point rather than advice. Read the numbers off your own statements and type what they actually charge; a rule built from someone else's rates is precision applied to the wrong number.
The effective_from column works like every cost date in nouz: a new row starts applying on its date, and history keeps the rule that was true then. In nouz a Shopify Payments payment is priced by the fee Shopify reports on it, so the rules mostly cover the other methods: PayPal, Klarna, bank transfers and the rest. To sanity-check a month, the Shopify payment fees calculator applies a rule like this to a real payment mix, and the glossary covers transaction fees and where chargebacks land.
In nouz
Where fee rules live in nouz.
On the Transaction fees page, every payment method gets a percentage and a fixed fee, from the day they start. For Shopify Payments, nouz takes the fee Shopify reports on each payment.
