Intro and renewal prices
Paid plans start at $15, with the e-commerce plan at $15. A free plan is available, so a store can be launched before any spend, and the paid tiers carry on from there. The 5% transaction fee applies to orders, which is the part that lifts the real cost of selling.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Fourthwall cost to get going?+
A free plan is included, so a store can be set up at no cost. Paid plans start at $15, and the e-commerce plan is listed at $15. Sellers taking orders from the start should budget the paid tier plus the 5% transaction fee on each sale.
Is there a transaction fee on every order?+
There is. Fourthwall applies a 5% transaction fee to orders, and it sits outside the plan price rather than inside it. On a store with steady volume that charge adds up quickly, so it belongs next to $15 in any comparison.
Is the free plan a trial or a standing option?+
A free plan is available, and the listed pricing model is free plan, which reads as a standing free tier rather than a trial that expires. Sellers can run a store at no cost and move to a paid tier starting at $15 once orders justify it.
What can I actually build with it?+
Sites, stores and landing pages are all buildable, matching the site, store and landing builder types listed. The tool type is design, so design work happens in the same place as the store. Template choice is the narrower side, with 9 templates available.
How do I reach support when something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. Email handles direct questions, the help centre covers common issues, and the community fills the gap between them. No phone or chat line is listed, so time-sensitive problems have to go through those channels.
Which company would I be signing up with?+
The service is run by Fourthwall, Inc., headquartered in the United States. That matters for buyers elsewhere, since the terms and privacy policy are US based rather than local. The same company backs both the free plan and the paid tiers.
How does the price compare with other options?+
Entry sits above the category norm, since $15 is higher than the €7.89 median for website builders. Cheaper choices include Ko-fi at $12, though currencies differ across the wider list.
