The Fee on Me Feature

2 min read · Updated June 2026

With Fee on Me, you cover the small payment-processing fee so your customer pays the exact amount — no extra fee added at checkout.

TL;DR
  • Fee on Me means you absorb the processing fee instead of the customer.
  • Your customer pays the exact subtotal — the fee comes out of your side.
  • Toggle it on in your payment settings.

What it does

Normally the payment-processing fee is added to what the customer pays. With Fee on Me turned on, you take on that fee instead — so your buyer sees a clean, exact total and isn’t charged anything extra to check out.

Why use it

It’s a nice touch for buyers: their total matches the price you quoted, with no surprise add-on. Many sellers turn it on to keep checkout simple and friendly. For more on the buyer experience, see Why Thryft Ship Payments Is Better for Buyers.

It’s your choice, per your shop Fee on Me is a setting you control — leave it off and the fee is added to the customer’s total as usual, or turn it on to cover it yourself.

An example: a $10 sale

Here’s how the same $10 sale looks with Fee on Me off versus on — the difference is just the small processing fee:

Default — Fee on Me OFF
Customer pays$10.61
$10.00 + $0.61 in fees
Thryft Ship fee$0.20
You receive$9.80
With Fee on Me ON
Customer pays$10.00
no added fees
Payment processing fee$0.59
Thryft Ship fee$0.20
You receive$9.21
On a $10 sale you earn about $0.59 less — but your customer pays a clean $10.00.
💡 Minimum order amount is $1.00 when Fee on Me is enabled.
