Pros and cons
Pros
- The transaction fee is 0%, and Fanso ranks 1 of 78 on that measure, so extra selling costs stay away
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering live chat, email, phone and a self-serve help centre
- The builder is designed for selling rather than general sites, with a store focus
Cons
- Entry price ranks 199 of 199, and $699 is the smallest way in
- There is no free plan, so the tool cannot be tried at no cost before paying $699
- Fanso is headquartered in Vietnam, so buyers outside that home market take on a distant vendor
Who it suits
- Beginners and small businesses putting up a first store, the stated audience is beginners and small business
- Sellers who would rather have a 0% transaction fee than a low entry price
- People who want help by email, phone, chat or a help centre: email, phone and help centre
Who should look elsewhere
- Shopify, from $39, for anyone who needs a cheap starting point rather than a $699 plan
- ClickFunnels, from $97, for sellers wanting a far cheaper paid entry than $699
- Ko-fi, from $12, for anyone shopping at the low end of the price range

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to start selling on Fanso?+
Fanso's e-commerce plan price is $699 and its starting price is $699, so the entry invoice is the main cost to plan for. That places it among the costliest prices in the field, well above the ecommerce platform median €14.01.
Is there a free plan?+
The free plan is listed as no, so $699 is the smallest way in and the store builder starts paid. Buyers who want to try a tool first have to look at a free tier elsewhere, because nothing here runs at no cost.
Does Fanso charge a transaction fee on sales?+
The transaction fee is 0%, and that places Fanso at 1 of 78 on the measure. Sellers expecting steady order volume therefore keep their running cost inside the plan rather than paying a cut per sale.
How do I get help from Fanso?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone, chat and a help centre. A single contact route is not the only option, and the help centre comes as part of the package rather than an add-on, which helps sellers who need an answer between orders.
Who is Fanso built for?+
The stated audience is beginners and small business, and the builder type is store, so it is pitched at people launching a store rather than a plain website. That fits a first shop and a small business that wants a selling-focused toolset.
Where is Fanso based?+
Fanso's headquarters sits in Vietnam, so the store builder runs from that home market rather than a local one. Buyers elsewhere weigh a vendor with a distant base, and support hours tend to follow the home country.
How established is Fanso?+
The company was founded in 2018, so it is an established operator rather than a new launch. The store builder has served beginners and small business since then, and support still runs on email, phone and help centre.
How does Fanso's price compare with Shopify, ClickFunnels and Ko-fi?+
Fanso's starting price is $699. Shopify begins at $39, ClickFunnels at $97 and Ko-fi at $12, so Fanso sits at the expensive end of that group on entry. What it adds is a 0% transaction fee.
