Predictable platform cost
Choose a plan based on your catalogue size and required tools rather than giving up a percentage of sales.
No Vilarina transaction fees
Keep your sales revenue working for your business.
Vilarina charges for its ecommerce software through a subscription. It does not add a Vilarina percentage fee each time a customer buys from your shop.
Own Stripe account
Control your Stripe settings, balance and payouts through the account belonging to your business.
No misleading “free payments” claim
Payment processing is not free: Stripe applies its own fees. Vilarina simply does not add its own order percentage.
Platform fees and processing fees are different
An ecommerce platform may charge a subscription, a fee based on each order, or both. A payment processor separately charges for handling card payments. Vilarina uses subscription pricing and leaves processing fees to your connected Stripe account.
Why percentage fees matter as sales grow
A percentage that looks small can scale with turnover. At 2%, every £10,000 processed represents £200 before payment-processor fees. With Vilarina, higher sales do not create a higher Vilarina transaction percentage.
Compare total cost, not one headline
Review the subscription, payment-processing rates, paid apps, themes, setup work and any transaction fees for every platform you consider. Vilarina publishes its current plan prices and inclusions on its signup page.
