Example: one year on Squarespace with $50,000 in online sales
Say you sell $50,000 a year online in 1,000 card orders of $50, pay for the plan yearly, and use Squarespace Payments with standard cards. Card fees are the rate from the table times sales, plus the fixed fee per order. The online store transaction fee from the table is added on top.
| Plan | Plan fee | Card fees | Transaction fee | Total per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $228 | $1,750 | $1,000 | $2,978 |
| Core | $348 | $1,750 | $0 | $2,098 |
| Plus | $588 | $1,650 | $0 | $2,238 |
| Advanced | $1,188 | $1,550 | $0 | $2,738 |
At these numbers Core costs the least: $2,098 for the year. Higher sales make the plans with lower card rates win sooner. Premium and international cards cost more (see the fee table).
