The hidden cost of percentage fees
As your sales grow,
your fees keep growing too.
Most platforms take a cut of every order. That means the more you sell, the more you pay, every single year.
Flat pricing keeps your costs predictable, no matter how much you sell.

Percentage fees punish growth
The more you succeed, the more you pay. That’s not how it should work.
Percentage fees scale against you
Every dollar you grow, they take more. A great month on a percentage platform means a bigger bill, not a bigger profit.
Flat pricing locks in your cost
With Pro, your platform cost is $49/year. Period. Whether you sell $5,000 or $50,000, the fee never changes.
