Common questions
Do website builders charge transaction fees?
Some do, on top of card processing. Most take nothing extra with their own payments, but Squarespace's cheaper plan adds ~3% and Shopify up to 2% via an outside gateway. On a busy store that beats the subscription.
What's the cheapest website builder?
For a simple site, Hostinger's builder is among the cheapest paid options; Wix, WordPress.com, Weebly and Square Online have free plans (with branding + a subdomain). Cheapest overall depends on custom domain and store needs.
Best builder for an online store?
Shopify for a serious or growing store. For a small shop on a normal site, Wix and Squarespace are simpler and avoid extra fees if you use their own payments.
Do I need a paid plan?
Only for a custom domain and no builder branding. Free plans suit testing or a personal page but put the builder's name in your address. Paid removes both.
