Pricing Transparency
We believe in making our products affordable for small businesses, and will never hide costs or fees from you. Our competitors present flashy low prices to start, but they don't disclose additional costs you'll cover. We want to be up front with you about what to expect, and will do everything we can to fit your budget.
What does an online shop cost?
A shop's cost can vary dramatically, which is one of the reasons our competitors hide it from you. If you want your own website, you'll need a domain, security certificates, a subscription to the hosting platform, and any number of add-ons like the ability to email customers, offer coupons, and or get tech support, all of which are additional charges. Competitors' stores require you to purchase 3rd-party plugins at around $5 - $20 per month per plugin. If you want a premium theme from a competitor, they start at $200. You quickly get into hundreds of dollars per month for a simple site!
We cut right through all this. Check out what you'll pay with us:
Pricing Breakdown
Domain:
Cost varies, but typically ranges from $5 - $200
We don't mark up these prices in any way, and will shop around to find you the best deal.
Security Certificate:
Free!
A security certificate normally might run you around $60 - $100 a year, but we're committed to covering this cost for you with your subscription payment.
Monthly Subscription:
$50/month
You get all the changes you want for one price. If we don't currently offer a feature, we will build it to add to your shop.
Transaction Fees:
Varies by provider, usually around 3% per transaction
Payment processors charge their own fees, but we don't take a cut. For example, Stripe has a 2.9% + 30 cents fee for processing credit cards. Kosterity takes $0.00 (no hidden fees) from each sale, and you are responsible for the Stripe fee.
