Square offers various pricing plans for its online store, with monthly charges ranging from free to $79 per month, depending on the features and scale your business requires.
Square Online Store Subscription Plans
Square's online store platform provides different subscription tiers designed to cater to a range of business needs, from new sellers to high-volume enterprises. These plans determine the base monthly cost for using Square's e-commerce features.
Detailed Monthly Charges
The primary monthly charges for a Square Online Store subscription are as follows, based on annual billing:

Understanding Additional Costs: Payment Processing Fees
In addition to the monthly subscription, Square charges per-transaction fees for processing payments. These are separate from the monthly subscription costs and vary depending on whether the payment is made online or in person:
- Online Payments: 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction for the Free plan, or 2.6% + 30¢ per transaction for the Premium plan.
- In-person Payments: 2.6% + 10¢ per transaction for both Free and Premium plans.
These per-transaction fees contribute to the overall cost of using Square's services, beyond the fixed monthly subscription.
