This page sets 7 e-commerce platforms side by side on what each provider publishes — fee on off-platform payments, product limit, staff accounts, standard entry price — as at 2026-09-24. If you are choosing a platform to build an online store, these are the ongoing costs and limits each one publishes for its entry paid plan. It does not rank them or say which is right for you; it lays out comparable facts so you can judge against your own needs. Promotional intro offers (for example Shopify's SGD 1/month for three months) are suppressed; the standard ongoing monthly rate is shown.

Where these figures come from

Each row is taken from the provider's own published information, current as at 2026-09-24:

  • Shopify (Basic) — shopify.com
  • Squarespace (Basic) — squarespace.com
  • WooCommerce (core plugin) — woocommerce.com
  • BigCommerce (Core) — bigcommerce.com
  • Shopline (Starter) — shopline.sg
  • Ecwid by Lightspeed (Starter) — ecwid.com
  • Wix eCommerce (Core) — wix.com

What this page cannot tell you

  • Prices are each provider's published standard monthly rate as at 2026-09-24, in the currency the provider published (some in SGD, some in USD); confirm current pricing on the provider's own site before deciding.
  • The fee shown is the platform's own fee on sales made through a payment method other than its native one; your payment processor charges its own separate fees as well.
  • "Not published" means the provider does not state that figure on its pricing page — it is not an assumption of zero.
  • Plans in the table are the entry paid tier; providers publish higher tiers that raise limits and remove fees.
