For some reason, it's become popular to provide confusing pricing structures that make it almost impossible to calculate ahead of time how much a hosted e-commerce platform is really going to cost you.
Plimus believes pricing should be fair, clearly stated and never propped up with extra fees.
You'll find our price chart below, and it's genuinely as simple as it looks. Before you compare our prices with anyone else's, make sure you're comparing apples with apples, with particular focus on:
- Setup Fees: We don't charge you to join our standard system
- Complete Coverage: Does the price you're being quoted include all fees (e.g. fees for the provider, fees to the credit card companies, fees for license management)
- Surcharges: Will you be paying extra if your customer uses American Express? Not with Plimus.
- Per Item or Per Order: Some providers add a charge for each line item on an order. At Plimus, your fee is based on the total value of the whole order.
- Affiliate Costs: Plimus does not insist on a high commission rate to resell your software, nor do we use the email addresses provided to your business to market other customers' products.
- Marketing Costs: Plimus provides full-function newsletter and live assistance capabilities as part of the package.

Your monthly payment from Plimus includes all transactions, less the applicable commission rate which will be calculated for each transaction.
IMPORTANT: Plimus sends payments on the 15th of every month for your company's revenue amount less the total commission for all transactions for which payment was received during the previous month. For example, on the 15th of August, you will be sent a statement and payment for all transactions for which Plimus received payments during the month of July.
The minimum balance generated before Plimus makes payments is $35. If during a cycle your revenue is under $35, this amount will be carried over to the next cycle until the accumulated payable revenue is $35 or more.
Once you have created an account, see the Payment Method page for different available options to receive your money.
