Find the best billing plan to support your business goals.

Note: This guide is for customers on the Personal, Business, Commerce Basic, or Commerce Advanced plans. We’re rolling out new plans (Basic, Core, Plus, and Advanced) in waves. There isn't currently a way to switch to these new plans. What appears on the pricing page and plan selection screen are the plans you currently have access to. To learn more about the features of the new plans visit Choosing the right Squarespace plan.

If you're on the Business plan, this guide may help you decide when to upgrade to the Commerce Basic or Commerce Advanced plan.

Squarespace sites are designed to grow with you and your business. You can start on the Business plan, then upgrade when you want more commerce features or when it makes sense financially.

You can change your billing plan at any time. When you upgrade, you’ll pay a prorated rate based on what you’ve already paid for your current plan.

For steps on how to upgrade, visit Changing your billing plan.

When to upgrade from Business to Commerce Basic

The Business plan is ideal if you sell a few products and have basic shipping needs. If you’re on the Business plan and making over $3,200 USD in annual revenue, the Commerce Basic plan may save you money and offer more versatility.

Squarespace Commerce transaction fee savings

The Business plan includes a 3% Squarespace Commerce transaction fee. There’s no Squarespace Commerce transaction fee on Commerce plans.

The difference between a Business plan billed annually and Commerce Basic plan billed annually is $48 USD per year. If you’re on an annual Business plan and sell more than $1600 per year (around $130 per month), you pay more in Squarespace Commerce transaction fees than the difference between the plans. In that case, you’ll save by upgrading to Commerce Basic.

Professional management options

The Commerce Basic plan supports a variety of features to help you run your store efficiently as it grows, like sales by product and purchase funnel analytics. These features are also available on the Commerce Advanced plan.

When to upgrade from Commerce Basic to Advanced

To sell subscriptions, or if you have more complex shipping needs, upgrade to a Commerce Advanced plan.

Subscriptions

The Commerce Advanced plans supports subscription products. Subscription products can help you expand what you sell, create consistent income, entice loyal customers, and attract new ones. 

Advanced marketing tools

The Commerce Advanced plan includes marketing tools so you’ll have more flexibility when promoting your products. These tools automate processes you’d have to do manually on other plans:

• Abandoned checkout recovery
• Automatic discounts
