The three kinds of free
- Commission: the store is free, but the platform takes a percentage of each sale
- Limited plan: few products, no custom domain, the platform's logo on your store
- Free trial: everything is open for a few days, then you pick a plan
What always costs money
Even on a free platform you will pay card processing fees, shipping and usually a domain name. Do the math over a year, on the revenue you are aiming for.
When a commission costs more
A few percent feels painless at first. On $2,000 of sales a month, 5% is $100: more than a plan. Free is a good way to test an idea, rarely the right choice for a store that sells.
The Yaliko free trial
Fourteen days with every feature, no credit card. Build your store, add your products and place a test order. After that, plans start at $19 a month, with no fee on your sales.
