The best free way to sell online if you already take payments in person with Square, though design control and advanced store features trail Shopify.
What it is
Square Online builds a website, online store or ordering page that shares items, inventory and orders with Square's point of sale. Square Free costs $0 a month with online card fees of 3.3% + 30 cents; Square Plus is $49 a month per location (custom domain, QR code ordering, subscriptions, loyalty) and Square Premium $149 a month per location (real-time shipping rates, advanced reporting, 24/7 support), both with online card fees of 2.9% + 30 cents and a 30-day free trial. Plans are billed monthly; there is no commission on orders. Prices from Square's US pricing page as reported October 28 to November 7, 2026.
