What each host takes from your sales

With Authorize.net or NMI as your gateway, Shopify and BigCommerce add a percentage on top of their monthly fee. We do not.

What Standfast Commerce, Shopify and BigCommerce take: the share of sales, and the monthly cost at three sales levels, with Authorize.net or NMI as the gateway
Measure Standfast Commerce flat monthly fee Shopify third-party transaction fee BigCommerce Open Payment Provider fee
$10,000 a month of sales $149Starter, a flat fee $239Basic $39 + 2% of $10,000 $453Scale $399 + 0.6% of $9,000

  • Where it crosses over. Shopify Basic plus its 2% fee comes to the same $149 at $5,500 a month of sales, and Shopify Grow plus its 1% to the same $299 at $19,400. Below those levels, Shopify costs less.
  • Why BigCommerce is on Scale. It counts sales less 10% and moves a store above $100,000 of trailing-twelve-month sales onto Scale, which a $10,000-a-month store passes.
  • At $156,000, the larger plans. Our Scale plan is $2,000, with a dedicated database. Shopify Plus is from $2,500 plus 0.2%, which comes to $2,812 before apps.
  • And WooCommerce? A WooCommerce stack runs $102 to $366 a month before a developer, and about $836 with four hours a month of one. The cost sheet shows every line.

How these numbers are worked out

Each figure is the platform fee plus the percentage. Your gateway, merchant account and apps cost the same wherever you host, so they are left out. Every bar shares one scale: a full bar is $2,205.

Shopify charges its fee when a store's gateway is not Shopify Payments. Authorize.net and NMI are not on BigCommerce's embedded list, so its fee applies with either.

Shopify is shown at its monthly prices: Basic $39 a month or $29 billed yearly, Grow $105 or $79, Advanced $399 or $299; Plus is from $2,500 a month on a one-year term, $2,300 on three years. BigCommerce: Core $39 a month or $29 yearly, Growth $105 or $79, Scale $399 or $299; Scale cap $33,333 a month with 0.9% overage; GMV counted as order value less 10%.

Migration, one time

$1,500 flat
Up to 1,000 products, from Shopify.
$2,900
More than 1,000 products, or two storefronts.
$0
With a 12-month prepay on Growth or above.
From $2,900 quoted
From WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento or Square Online — the same price as Shopify. Each platform’s own export file is read directly; you do not edit it. The ten-minute mirror is Shopify-only, so from the other four the switch is a fresh export on the day.
Plus $1,500 emergency
A store that is already behind a password page or “unavailable” notice, with data still reachable. Seven-day target.
Priced against
A Shopify-to-WooCommerce migration shop sells the same move at $1,800 to $6,500 flat.

What migration covers

  • A free dry run first
  • Images copied to your storage
  • Handle-preserving URLs
  • Collections, pages, blog, discount codes, a reviews CSV
  • Apps re-pointed to your own accounts
  • One theme port
  • Staff onboarding
  • A side-by-side check of the same basket on your live store and the new one at phone, tablet and desktop widths
  • The DNS switch on your word
  • Thirty days of post-cutover fixes
  • The merchant-account application filed on day one

The guarantee

  • A written go-live date before you sign.
  • One month of your subscription credited for every week we are late by our fault, capped at three months.
  • Until your domain moves, you can walk away with your data and a full refund of anything prepaid.
  • Your data exports any day, on any tier.

Before you ask

Anything else, write to us.

Do you ever touch my money?

No. Payments run through your own gateway and merchant account. We never hold merchant funds, and we are not a payment processor.

What do I still pay other companies?

Your own gateway, merchant account, Klaviyo, ShipStation, AgeChecker and any other app you keep. We do not mark those up and we do not bill them. The cost sheet lists each one with its published price.

I have no merchant account. Can you help?

Yes, at $0 to you. If you have no high-risk merchant account, or want a second one, the application is filed on day one with a high-risk processor that runs Authorize.net or NMI, and a second is filed the same week if the first declines.

You sign directly with the processor; the processor sets your rate and reserve in writing; your statements and owner IDs go to the processor, not to us. Where a referral agreement is in place, the processor pays us a share of its own margin. Nothing is added to your rate, and we never touch your funds.

What does the Compliance plan leave to me?

Anything that has to be filed. Any federal or state registration and the carrier contract are yours, and always will be — we are a host, we never take title to a product or ship one, and we file nothing with any state on your behalf.

The monthly per-state report is generated here from your own shipments, in the form the statute requires; you file it. A store that cannot hold its own registration and carrier cannot be hosted.

Which restricted categories do you host?

Glass and smoke-shop goods, dry-herb vaporizers, cigars, kratom and CBD — each covered on its own page, with the platforms' own policies linked and dated.

Can these prices change?

The plans and prices above are what we offer today; they can change on 60 days' written notice, and a signed term is fixed for its length.

Start with a free dry run
