How Etsy fees work for a Canadian shop in 2026

A Canadian shop pays a listing fee, a transaction fee and payment processing on every sale, plus a regulatory operating fee. Offsite Ads add to that when a buyer arrives through an Etsy ad.

Your costs: -C$15.00item and label
You keep: C$22.2653.01% margin

That is a C$35.00 item with C$6.99 shipping from a Canadian shop. If it sold through an Offsite Ad you would keep C$15.96.

Full walkthrough

Etsy charges a Canadian shop these fees on a normal sale. The listing fee is about C$0.28, paid when you list. The 6.5% transaction fee and the 0.5% regulatory operating fee are worked out on the item price plus shipping, and payment processing is 3% + C$0.25 on the whole order. Each fee is rounded to the smallest unit of CAD on its own.

Here is one sale from the calculator above. A Canadian shop sells an item for C$35.00 and charges C$6.99 shipping, so the buyer pays C$41.99. All amounts are in Canadian dollars and leave out tax.

Listing feeabout C$0.28 flat per listing, charged when you create or renew a listing, whether or not it sells-C$0.28
Transaction 6.5%6.5% of C$41.99 (item + shipping)-C$2.73

Etsy took C$4.73 in fees, which is 11.3% of the sale. If the same order came in through an Offsite Ad, the advertising fee would add C$6.30 and you would keep C$15.96. The Offsite Ads line works out as 15% of C$41.99 (sale total), capped at about C$140.74 per order.

Questions sellers ask

Etsy fees for Canadian sellers, answered

How much does Etsy take from a sale in Canada?

On a C$35.00 item with C$6.99 shipping, the buyer pays C$41.99 and a Canadian shop pays C$4.73 in Etsy fees, which is 11.3% of the order. That is the about C$0.28 listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing, plus the 0.5% regulatory operating fee. Offsite Ads and currency conversion only apply in some cases.

What is the Etsy payment processing fee in Canada?

A Canadian shop pays 3% + C$0.25 on each order, the percent applying to the full order including shipping and any sales tax. On the C$41.99 order above that is C$1.51. On orders from outside Canada and the US the percent is 4%, which makes it C$1.93. A US shop pays 3% + $0.25.

Does the Etsy fee calculator include GST or HST in Canada?

No. Etsy charges payment processing on the order total including any sales tax, so on a taxed order processing is a little higher than shown here. We found no Etsy page that sets a rate for tax on Etsy's own fees for Canadian shops, so every figure leaves tax out. Check your Etsy fee statements for the tax on your fees.

What is the regulatory operating fee for Canadian sellers?

It is 0.5% of the order, charged on top of the other fees in Canada. We work it out on the item price plus shipping, so on a C$100.00 item with no shipping it is C$0.50. It is the rate on Etsy's help page for Canada, and we recheck it with every update.

How much is the Etsy listing fee in Canadian dollars?

Etsy states the listing fee as $0.20, which is about C$0.28 at the rate we use (1.4074 CAD to the US dollar, 19 Oct 2026). You pay it when you create or renew a listing, whether or not it sells. Etsy converts at its own rate, so your statement can differ slightly.

Is there a currency conversion fee for a Canadian shop?

Only if you list in a currency other than your payment account currency. Etsy then adds 2.5% of the order. On the C$41.99 order that is C$1.05. List in CAD into a CAD payment account and you do not pay it.

How does Etsy Offsite Ads work for Canadian sellers?

If a buyer clicks an Etsy ad on another site and buys within 30 days, Etsy charges 15% of the order, or 12% if your shop made $10,000 USD or more in the last 12 months. Etsy states the cap as $100 USD per order, about C$140.74. On the C$41.99 order the fee would be C$6.30 and you would keep C$15.96.

Do international orders cost more for a Canadian shop?

Yes, on payment processing. Orders from outside Canada and the US pay 4% instead of 3%, plus the same C$0.25. On the C$41.99 order that moves processing from C$1.51 to C$1.93. Switch on Intl order in the calculator to see your own sale.

Sources and methodology

How we checked every number

Every number on this page comes from one data file, checked against Etsy's own pages on 19 Oct 2026. The calculator, the worked example, the tables and the FAQ all read from it, so they cannot disagree. The Canadian shop is the "Canada" row of Etsy's payment processing table.

The listing fee and the Offsite Ads cap are stated by Etsy in US dollars, so the Canadian dollars amounts are approximate. Payment processing and the regulatory operating fee are stated in Canadian dollars and percent. Etsy lists a higher processing percent for orders from outside Canada and the US, and orders from the US pay the domestic rate. Nothing here includes tax.

Where Etsy's pages disagree or say nothing

Etsy does not document how it rounds. We round each fee to the cent, half up, and add the rounded fees.
Offsite Ads base: Etsy's legal page says the total order amount (item, shipping and gift wrap), while a help article says the amount made from the sale before the advertising fee. We use the legal page.
Offsite Ads 365-day window: the legal page says it is checked on the first day of each month, a help article says any consecutive 365 days. Pick the tier you expect to be in.
Regulatory operating fee base: the help article says item price, shipping and gift wrap, while the fees overview says it excludes tax collected by Etsy. We charge it on item plus shipping and ignore tax.
Canada regulatory operating fee: Etsy's help page shows 0.50%. Some seller blogs show 1.15%. We use the official figure.
Payment processing is charged on the total including shipping and sales tax. This calculator has no tax field, so processing can read a little low on taxed orders.
Etsy Canada: the higher international processing percent applies to orders from outside Canada and the US. Orders from the US pay the domestic rate.
The listing fee and the Offsite Ads cap are stated in US dollars. We convert them to Canadian dollars at 1.4074 CAD per US dollar (European Central Bank euro foreign exchange reference rates, cross-rated to US dollars, 19 Oct 2026). Etsy converts at its own rate, so those two amounts are labelled "about".
