Stripe's and Etsy's fees checked on 27 October 2026 from their own pages: Stripe pricing, Etsy fees and taxes, Etsy payment processing, Etsy regulatory fee and VAT on Etsy's fees. Etsy is a trademark of Etsy, Inc.; Shopper District is not connected with Etsy.
Card processing
Stripe's rate
Stripe processes the payment and bills its standard fee (from 1.5% + 20p for UK cards). We add nothing on top.
VAT on our fee
None added
What you see is what's taken. Etsy adds 20% VAT to every fee for UK sellers who aren't VAT registered.
Postage
0%
The postage you charge is yours. Etsy takes 6.5% of it, plus card processing.
Monthly fee
None needed
Optional plans with no commission for busier shops, coming soon.
Advertising
None
We don't charge you for ads you didn't choose, and never take a share of a sale because it came from an ad.
No commission at all, whatever you sell.
