ezimerchant Pricing
ezimerchant is free! please see our "free guarantee" if you are worried about our definition of free.
When you create an account on ezimerchant you instantly have access to an extremely capable ecommerce solution. All the pages we serve on your behalf through our secured infrastructure are completely changeable from top to tail. All free.
Additional services that attract fees:
Addtional Services
Credit Card Processing
We deliver PayPal, direct deposit, by account and other payments free. However, to accept credit card payments online you need a service that connects your website to your bank account.
ezimerchant provides that service so you do not need to engage another third party.
You can avoid monthly fees and pay per transaction, or commit to a pre-paid transaction bundle to reduce costs.
We endeavour to keep you happy with our service and part of that is not suprising you with unexpected costs. To ensure this we provide the ability to change your credit card subscription plan up to 14 days after an invoice is raised and we will credit you the difference as if you had been on the new plan the whole time.
Plan Pricing Casual - no commitment $1.10 per transaction Prepaid transactions x200 $55.00 per month Prepaid transactions x400 $110.00 per month For an additional $110 setup fee the credit card information can be securely passed directly to your bank automatically with no manually re-keying of transactions.
For those that wish to use an external payment gateway, we support that too (but for the same costs outlined above).
Catalogue Publishing
When you start out with an ezimerchant account we provide a service that lets you paste html or links into existing websites and services. However, if you have a large catalogue you will find it easier to let us automatically build an SEO optimised catalogue site for you.
To get you up and running quickly (or to help you reduce costs) we include a hosting account in the pay for plans, but at the same time we are happy to work with the hosting you already have.
Number of Products Monthly Price 0-10 Free 11-500 $22.00 501-5000 $55.00 Unlimited $110.00 If you exceed the limits on your catalogue publishing plan, we definitely won't hold you to ransom. We just withhold publishing the number of products that were added that tips you over the edge of your allowance. You are then free to bump your plan as needed.
Vanity Domains
Free?? but your domain name is on my checkout!! Sure, we can deliver that for free by spreading the cost of our SSL certificates over our large client base.
If you would like the ezimerchant name zapped completely from your entire shopping experience we need to provision an SSL certificate for the domain you want to run your checkout under AND a dedicated ip address in our PCI compliant infrastructure. Of course, this cost is completely optional.
Certication Type Monthly Pricing Standard $22.00 Extended Validation $110.00 Extended validation is the process where we get official documents from you that prove you are you. We take these documents to our provider of browser endorsed certificates and they give back a special certificate that makes your customers address bar go green - this gives the customers extra confidence that they are in a secured environment that belongs to who it says it belongs to.
Fraud Data
Imagine, you are running a physical - bricks and mortar - store and a shifty character walks in, you would pay more attention to what the shopper was doing in your store right?
Well imagine being able to use the transactional data from your store to determine who is "shifty" automatically.
For just 5.5c per order we will query a number of facts about the shopper behind every transaction - now you can sit up and pay attention to strange happenings instead of being left in the dark until it is too late and you are left with a chargeback.
Address Verification
For 22c per transaction our address verification service makes it possible to provide a customer with an address that likely matches their delivery point within a few key strokes of typing their street name.
This dramatically increases speed through the checkout increasing conversions
Additionally, the address has been verified to match a delivery point and you know the chance of error on your customer's part is dramatically reduced. It only takes 1 order a month sent to the wrong location for this feature to more than pay for itself.
Currently only Australian addresses are covered (and charged for).
Realtime Currency Rates
Currency conversion is included in every ezimerchant ecommerce site free. However, rates are updated daily.
If your pricing depends on real time exchange rates you can subscribe to our live feed for just $22 per month so your prices are current all day long.
All prices quoted are in AUD and include GST
