Shopstar is really easy to use and produces a very slick shopping site with very little technical knowledge required. It's the most cost-effective way to start an online store. Shopstar Pay makes the payments side super easy to set up. The support is great too with online chat responses.

Just some positive feedback on my experience with Shopstar. The support I received is of the highest standard and Bronwyn was most helpful and patient with me as I know very little about building a website. I have been pleasantly surprised with my dealings with Shopstar.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- What fees do I pay per sale?

On Lower Fees, Shopstar adds nothing per sale, so the standard rate is 2.9%. Standard rates apply to most sales.

- Do I need a credit card to sign up?
- No. You can start on Start Free without a credit card.
- Can I change plans later?
- Yes. Start free, then switch to Lower Fees when your sales volume makes the monthly fee worthwhile.
