Does It Cost Money to Sell on Weebly?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 4:10 pm

Weebly is a website builder that allows users to create and maintain a website without any programming skills. Weebly is free to use, but there are some costs associated with using the platform.

The first cost is a domain name. A domain name is the address of your website on the internet.

Weebly offers a free domain name when you sign up for an annual plan. If you choose not to sign up for an annual plan, you can still use Weebly for free, but your domain name will have “Weebly.com” in it. For example, yourdomainname.Weebly.com.

The second cost is hosting. Hosting is where your website lives on the internet. Weebly offers two types of hosting: paid and free.

With paid hosting, your website will have its own unique domain name (without “Weebly.com” in it) and will be hosted on Weebly’s servers. Paid hosting starts at $8 per month. Free hosting is also an option, but your website will have ads from Weebly on it and you’ll be limited in terms of storage space and certain features.

The third cost is email accounts. If you want to create email accounts for your website (for example, info@yourdomainname.com), you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan. Email accounts start at $6 per month.

So, does it cost money to sell on Weebly? No, you can list items for sale on your Weebly website for free.

However, if you want to use a custom domain name or remove Weebly ads from your site, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan. And if you want to create email accounts for your website, you’ll need to pay an additional monthly fee.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking of selling on Weebly, be aware that there are fees associated with doing so. There is a transaction fee of 3% of the total sale price, and a payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. So, if you are selling a product for $100, the total fees would be $5.80. Additionally, if you use Weebly’s built-in payment processing (Stripe), you will also be charged Stripe’s processing fees, which are 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

Conclusion

In conclusion, yes – there are some costs associated with using Weebly if you want to upgrade from the free version.
