Note that the lowest bigcommerce tier charges 1.5% plus the $29/mo... on top of merchant fees. That was one of the pricing changes they made after I started, which thankfully I don't pay. On Sep 1, 2015 7:25 PM, "Travis Johnson" <t...@ida.net> wrote:
Their cheapest package is $29/month and the rate is 2.9% plus a $.30 transaction fee. There are no other "hidden" charges or taxes like with many other processors.

We have done over $160,000 in a single month (avg ticket $63) and never had a single problem. We are using their top pricing model, so the CC fee is 2.3% (including the transaction fee). That's the lowest price I could find when I looked before. Many other e-commerce sites quote lower rates, until you actually factor in their "gateway" and other misc. charges. The other advantage is you don't have to get an actual credit card merchant account, so there are no personal guarantees or any of that with Shopify. You simply sign-up, setup the site, and start selling. :) Travis On 9/1/2015 12:42 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: I am wondering about the lowest cost method of setting up an ecommerce site with credit card payment gateway.� Not for my current products but I have some other, non internet/wisp related products that I may want to sell online. � Lots of options out there.� Been looking at the wordpress method, and shopify, and magento etc etc. They will all do what I want, but since these products may not actually sell, I want to get the monthly expense down as low as possible.�
