The Danger of Transaction Fees

At Volusion, we give you all of the tools you need to develop a successful ecommerce company. In addition, we don’t believe in hidden fees. Many business owners find that as they grow and become more successful online, their use of bandwidth increases along with their sales revenue. While some companies choose to charge customers a percentage of sales in order to compensate for this growth, Volusion does NOT. Volusion only charges a minimal monthly fee for the hosting of your online store, while additional bandwidth is available for only $0.01/MB. You should never be punished for your site's success. Think 1% isn’t a lot of money? Think again.

The chart above shows how much a site would be paying per month as its revenue grows. When faced with these rising costs of success, it's only logical to switch to a more economical provider. Too many businesses worry that a change in providers will affect their search engine rankings, or think that setting up a new store will be too difficult. In return for this comfort, many store owners often pay thousands extra each month.
