The plan is only one line item
A subscription or hosting package is the starting point. Your actual costs depend on payment processing, extensions, themes and the help you need to build and maintain your store.
Separate setup from ongoing costs
List design, migration and development separately from monthly software, maintenance and processing. Include internal time so a low software bill does not hide a large workload.
Model your own sales
Use your expected order count and average order value to estimate variable fees. Ask providers for terms that apply to your country, currency and payment method.
Check the assumptions
Confirm billing frequency, tax treatment and renewal terms directly with the provider. Test more than one sales scenario before committing to a long contract.
