- 0% of sales, ever
- Your own database
- Nothing signed to find out
The offer, in plain words
What you get, and what it costs
Standfast Commerce is a hosted store: a storefront, an admin, and a database that belongs to your store alone, not a shared one other merchants sit inside. You connect your own payment gateway, so your money moves through your own account, not ours. We charge a flat monthly fee, Starter at $149 or Growth at $299, and nothing on top of that, however much you sell. See the full pricing page for every tier and what each one includes.
We host ordinary retail the way every platform does, and we also host the categories other platforms quietly drop, under a written hosting policy rather than a single vague clause buried in a payments contract. The fastest way to find out where your store stands is to send us your product list.
How moving works
Three steps, not a project
Free dry run
Tell us about your store and attach your products file. Most catalogues get an answer on the page immediately: allowed, needs a quick human look, or refused with the reason. Nothing signed, nothing charged. Start the dry run.
Import your catalogue
Bring your products, customers and order history in with a CSV, from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento or Square Online. Your handles, redirects and sitemap come with it, so existing links keep working. See the export checklist for what to gather first.
Go live
Once your dry run clears and your payment gateway is approved, you switch your store on. For most retailers that is days, not months; a high-risk gateway application can take longer, so starting it early matters more than anything on our side.
Honest limits
What is not true yet
We would rather undersell this than oversell it
Billing is not switched on yet. No merchant is charged a cent today. Month to month is the plan once billing opens; nothing is signed by running a dry run.
Hosting on your own domain is built into every paid plan, but we have not yet proven it end-to-end on an outside merchant's domain. Ask, and we will tell you in writing exactly where that stands before you move anything.
Questions
Before you send your products
What do you actually host?
Ordinary retail, the same as any platform, plus the categories other platforms quietly drop. Our hosting policy lays it out as three lists: what we host, what needs a control switched on first, and what we refuse, rather than one undefined word in a payments contract. Send your product list to the free dry run for a straight answer on your own catalogue.
What does it cost, and when does billing start?
A flat monthly fee: $149 on Starter, $299 on Growth, never a percentage of your sales. See the pricing page for every tier. Billing itself is not switched on yet, so no merchant is charged a cent today; running the dry run does not sign you up to anything.
How fast can we actually move?
Three steps: the free dry run, importing your catalogue by CSV, and going live once your payment gateway is approved. For most retailers that is days once both clear. A high-risk gateway application is usually the slower part, so starting it early is the one thing worth not waiting on.
Do we keep our own domain?
Hosting on your own domain is built into every paid plan, but we have not yet proven it end-to-end on an outside merchant's domain. Ask us and we will tell you in writing exactly where that stands before you move anything, rather than assume it works.
Is there a contract, or a tie-in?
Month to month once billing opens, unless you choose a term for the discount. Your own data, including your full catalogue and order history, exports on any day, on any plan.
