Review the different types of fees, how they're processed, and if you can avoid them.

The Basic, Core, Plus, and Advanced plans are our newest plans. We are rolling these plans out in waves. There isn't currently a way to switch to these plans from other plans.

There are specific rates and fees you pay when you complete a sale through Squarespace. Payment processing fees are charged for every purchase, while transaction fees depend on your billing plan and what you’re selling. This guide gives an overview of how those fees work in these plans.

Transaction fees

As your online store host, we collect a percentage of the total sale amount for each completed Commerce and Digital Product transaction.

• Commerce - Physical products, download products, service products, and donations
• Digital Products - Courses, Video Pages, and Member Sites

The transaction fees are based on your website billing plan:

Tip: There are no transaction fees for Invoices or Acuity Scheduling. For Acuity Scheduling, you will be charged a payment processing fee.

Payment processing fees

You'll also need to pay a fee for the processing of each transaction. You can connect a payment solution, like Squarespace Payments, or a third-party processor such as Stripe, PayPal, or Square.

Squarespace Payments fees

Squarespace Payments is a new native payment solution that’s fully integrated within the Squarespace platform. This simplifies accepting and managing payments on Squarespace.

The tables below show the fee structure if you use Squarespace Payments as your payment solution while on the Basic, Core, Plus, or Advanced plans.

Squarespace Payments is available to merchants in the US, UK, and CA. We'll be rolling out Squarespace Payments to more countries soon.

Third-party processing fees

If you use a third-party payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, Square) to process your credit card transactions, you'll pay a payment processing fee to that company. To learn more, visit our overview of Third-party processing fees.

Refunds

You can provide a full or partial refund to your customers. When you refund customer orders, refunds of processing fees vary between payment processors. To learn more, visit Transaction fees and payment processing fees.
