Pain point
How can I tell if a cheaper Shopify alternative would save me money?
PAnswer from Pludor
The calculator shows both totals for your own sales, so you see which is cheaper at your volume - sometimes it is Shopify.
Problem
Why is my Shopify bill higher than the plan price?
PAnswer from Pludor
Card processing, extra transaction fees when you do not use Shopify Payments, and monthly apps all add to the plan price.
Choosing a tool
Is there a free Shopify fee calculator?
PAnswer from Pludor
Yes - Pludor's Shopify Fee Calculator is free and uses Shopify's current plan prices.
Shopify plan prices hide extra transaction and app fees that eat into small store profits.

From result to running business: Pludor Online Store
Selling through DMs, link lists and screenshots loses orders: there is no cart, no real checkout, no order record and no way for new buyers to find you.
Every Pludor seller gets a hosted storefront at pludor.com/{store} with physical products, digital products and services, variations, a cart, card/wallet/QR checkout and an order dashboard - and every product is also listed in the shared Pludor marketplace so buyers can discover it.

On for every store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Every feature is on for every store. Each month a free amount of everything is included (for example 3,000 visits, 100 AI replies and 30 bookings); past that you pay only for what you use, in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores get 500 free credits. Monthly plans are optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts and a lower fee. Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout. Card processing (Stripe) is charged separately by the processor. Cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee, and wallet-to-wallet transfers between Pludor users are free.
