# Gateway

Gateway Cost Settings help you track **payment gateway transaction fees** and include them in your profit calculations.

#### **How it works**

Bloom handles **Shopify gateway costs automatically**, so in most cases you don’t need to add anything manually.

* **Shopify Payments**\
  If an end customer checks out using **Shopify Payments**, Bloom automatically pulls:
  * Percentage-based fee
  * Fixed fee (in USD)\
    These are applied based on the merchant’s **Shopify plan**.
* **Other Payment Gateways**\
  If an end customer uses a **non-Shopify payment gateway**, Shopify applies an **alternative percentage fee** based on the merchant’s Shopify plan. Bloom automatically accounts for this as well.

#### **Adding Other Gateway Costs**

For payment gateways that are **not covered by Shopify** (for example, PayPal or custom gateways), you can add the costs manually.

1. Click **Add Gateway Cost**.
2. Enter:
   * **Percentage fee**
   * **Fixed fee**
   * **External fee** (if applicable)
3. Click **Save**.

#### **Notes**

* Shopify Payments fees are **automatically synced** and do not require manual input.
* Manual gateway costs apply **only to the selected gateway**.
* Always recalculate after making changes to ensure accurate profit metrics.
