This is because the following limitations make it difficult to grow, stand out online, and be taken seriously as a business:\n<ul>\n<li>Banner ads<\/li>\n<li>A <em>.square.site<\/em> domain name<\/li>\n<li>No website templates<\/li>\n<li>No analytics<\/li>\n<li>Lack of advanced sales features, such as abandoned cart recovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Square Plus: $49 &ndash; For Managing an Online Store <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]The Square Plus plan costs <strong>$49 per month (billed annually), <\/strong>and removes ads, upgrades the bandwidth, and gives you the ability to use a custom domain name.\n<p>Plus, it upgrades the sales features considerably. On top of everything from the free plan, you&rsquo;ll get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower processing fees:&nbsp;<strong>2.9% + $0.30<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer membership areas<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Website themes, custom fonts, and custom widgets<\/strong> for more store personalization<\/li>\n<li><strong>Site statistics and advanced ecommerce reporting<\/strong> so you can track your progress<\/li>\n<li>Automatic <strong>abandoned cart recovery<\/strong> emails<\/li>\n<li>Sell <strong>subscriptions<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Item badges,<\/strong> such as low stock and selling fast<\/li>\n<li>Request <strong>reviews&nbsp;<\/strong>and publish them on product pages<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gift options<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Offer <strong>free shipping<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Schedule discounts and product launches in advance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block primary\">\n \n <h4 class=\"title-block\">\n \n Should I Choose Square Plus? <\/h4>\n \n <strong>Square Online&rsquo;s Plus plan is the best option for small to medium stores<\/strong>, since the price jump from the Free plan is offset by the reduced processing fees, and the added automation and loyalty tools optimize workflows for busy stretched teams.\n<p>However, if customization is important for you, Square Online&rsquo;s design tools are weak across the board. You do get access to website templates with Square Plus, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the options, especially in comparison to other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/ecommerce-website-builders\/\">ecommerce website builders<\/a>, like Wix.<\/p><\/div>\n\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Square Premium: $149 &ndash; For Larger Online Stores <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]The Square Premium plan costs <strong>$149 per month (billed annually)<\/strong>.

However, there are still a few extra costs to consider:\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/building-websites\/how-to-choose-a-domain-name\/\">Domain names<\/a>: <\/strong>It&rsquo;s important to budget for a Square Online domain (starting from $19.95 per year), since you&rsquo;ll be charged after the first year on Square Plus and Square Premium plans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processing fees: <\/strong>You&rsquo;ll be charged a small fee for each transaction made online (starts at 3.3% + $0.30 per transaction).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Square Payroll: <\/strong>A payroll service to simplify salary and benefit payments, support bookkeeping, and help with taxes and compliance. This is particularly useful in 2026 amid complex regulatory changes and the ongoing labor crisis. (starts at $6 per month per payee).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Square POS Hardware:<\/strong> For in-person selling, you&rsquo;ll need to purchase POS hardware.

Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/ecommerce-website-builders\/how-we-conduct-our-ecommerce-website-builder-research\/\">research process<\/a> looks at a variety of categories, including website features and ease of use. But, for pricing, we look at three key areas in particular.\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Plan prices:<\/strong> How much does each plan cost, what discounts are on offer, and how steep is the price jump between plans?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Features vs pricing:<\/strong> We look at the quality of features compared to the price point to find out the value for money.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free options:<\/strong> Does the website builder have a free trial or a free plan?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;130263&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Square Online Pricing: Is It Worth the Money? <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]Overall, <strong>Square Online is a good budget-friendly ecommerce platform<\/strong>, especially if you&rsquo;re looking for tools specifically related to restaurants or retail. Its well-integrated POS systems really make it stand out from other ecommerce competitors, leading to Square Online having a favorable offering for users seeking to have both online and brick-and-mortar representation.\n<p>While selling for free is an attractive prospect, the free plan isn&rsquo;t sustainable for long-term selling. Instead, if your heart is set on Square Online, I&rsquo;d recommend choosing the Square Plus plan for $49 per month (billed annually). This plan comes with all the sales features you need for an online store, but it doesn&rsquo;t feel overpriced for what you get.<\/p>\n<p>That said, <strong>try out Square Online&rsquo;s 30-day free trial or free plan to get a feel for the builder<\/strong> and see if it&rsquo;s the right fit for your online store.[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]Square Online is an extremely popular ecommerce website builder that&rsquo;s well-known in the industry for letting its users sell for free.
