Pricing · Tiers

Transaction fees go down.

A five-tier model. Monthly fees scale up with team size and surface area; transaction fees scale down as you grow, not up. Every feature ships on every paid tier — no “Plus” tier hiding the basics.

Stripe processes payments. Stripe's standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ for US cards; rates vary by region) is in addition to AxisShop's platform fee.

How it compares

The fees add up.

A merchant doing $250k/year saves roughly $2,460/yr on AxisShop Growth versus Shopify Basic. Higher volume, bigger gap.

Frequently asked

Pricing questions.

When do I switch tiers?

Whenever you want. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. No yearly contract on Free through Pro.

Do you charge for the storefront builder?

No. The block-based builder, code editor, and version control all ship on every tier — Free included.

What payment processors do you support?

Stripe at launch. AxisShop is the platform; merchants onboard via Stripe Connect Express, and our platform fee is collected automatically through Stripe's application_fee_amount mechanism. Additional gateways (Adyen, Square) are on the post-launch roadmap.

What if I'm migrating from Shopify?

Early-access merchants get white-glove migration: product catalog import, customer history transfer, redirect mapping, and theme replication. Public-launch migrations follow the same pattern but are self-serve.

Is there an annual discount?

Yes — annual billing on any paid tier knocks two months off (effectively a 16% discount). Available at launch.
