The fee you leave behind
Snipcart takes a share of every sale, on top of what your processor already charges. That fee grows exactly as fast as your sales do.

Coming from Snipcart?
Here is the short version: we are a buy button, not a shopping cart, and we never take a share of your sales. Whether that trade helps you comes down to simple math and to how your buyers actually shop.
What the cart is for
Snipcart is a real shopping cart for static sites. It handles line items, quantities, size and color options, shipping, tax, and a polished checkout at the end. If your buyers often carry three things to the counter at once, a cart is the right tool, and Snipcart has built a good one for years.
Where the math turns
Snipcart charges a fee on every sale, and that fee sits on top of what your payment processor already takes. The more you sell, the more you pay. Many sellers also realize they never needed a full catalog in the first place, because they sell one course, one ebook, or run a tip jar. If your buyers never fill a cart, you are paying for a cart no one uses.
What stays the same
Your payment processor stays the same, and so does where your money goes. Both tools sit in front of your own account, so that relationship is yours before and after the move. Your site also stays static, because neither tool asks you to run a server.
The fee math
Three numbers tell the whole story.
Pro, flat, per month
Our Pro plan includes 5,000 transactions, then costs a few cents per extra one. The bill stays the same no matter how good your month was.
Our share of your sales
We take nothing when you start, and nothing when you grow. The flat fee is the only fee.
Weigh it honestly
What you gain
- A flat price instead of a percentage: free up to 150 transactions a month, then Pro at $24.
- Crypto and pay-by-mail next to cards, all in one picker.
- A lighter page, because each product is one button and there is no cart code to load.
- An open-source SDK, so leaving us takes an afternoon instead of a rebuild.
What you give up
- The cart itself: no basket, no quantities, no size or color options.
- Shipping and tax calculated at checkout.
- Inventory tracking. We log your sales, but we do not count your stock.
How to make the move
- Create a project and connect the same processor account Snipcart uses today.
- Add your products to the catalog: reference, name, price, currency.
- Paste one button per product beside the existing cart.
- Run a test purchase in test mode. Test transactions never count.
- Once real sales flow through the button, remove the cart code and close the old account.
Your sales history stays in the old dashboard, and our log starts with your first sale through us. Export anything you need before you close the old account.
A fair case for staying
If your buyers really do fill baskets, or you need shipping and tax calculated at checkout, keep the cart. That is the job Snipcart was built for, and we were not. The closest we come is selling a bundle as one product.
Try it before you decide
The free plan is a full sandbox. You get every feature and 150 transactions a month, and we never ask for a card.
