FAQ
Questions, answered.
- What fees do I pay per sale?
- The standard payment gateway rate is 2.9% per sale. On Start Free, Shopstar adds a 3.1% fee, making the standard all-in rate 6%. On Lower Fees, Shopstar adds nothing per sale, so the standard rate is 2.9%. Standard rates apply to most sales. On small payments, provider-cost floors or currency minimum fees can make the effective percentage higher.
- 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.
- Which plan is right for me?
- If you sell more than $935.48/month, Lower Fees saves you money compared to Start Free.
- What payment methods do you support?
- Shopstar includes built-in online payments, so you do not need to open or connect a separate payment gateway account. With Shopstar Go, South African sellers can accept Card, Apple Pay and Scan to Pay. Apple Pay requires a compatible device. Memberships use a card for recurring payments.
- Can I take deposits for bookings?
- Yes, on both plans. On Start Free, a deposit is at least 20% of the booking and the rest is paid at the appointment. Lower Fees lets you set any deposit, offer free bookings, and let customers pay everything at the appointment.
Worth it
Start free. Grow when your orders do.
The plan only costs money once the counter is busy — that's the point.
