Standfast Commerce

Rate card

Flat monthly fees. 0% of your sales. Month to month unless you choose a term. No revenue share, ever. Prices are in US dollars.

What each host takes from your sales when your gateway is Authorize.net or NMI

Standfast Commerce: 0%
Flat fee only. Nothing on this page is a percentage of sales.
BigCommerce: 2.0% on Core, 1.0% on Growth, 0.6% on Scale, plus 0.9% on sales above the Scale plan's monthly cap
BigCommerce pricing calls this the "Open Payment Provider" fee. Authorize.net and NMI are not on its embedded list, so the fee applies to a store in this category.
Shopify: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced, 0.2% on Plus
Shopify pricing lists these as third-party transaction fees. Shopify Payments refuses tobacco and cannabis-related goods, so these stores paid the fee on every order.

Merchant-account referral

$0 to you. If you have no high-risk merchant account, or want a second one, the application is filed on day one with a high-risk processor that runs Authorize.net or NMI, and a second is filed the same week if the first declines. You sign directly with the processor; the processor sets your rate and reserve in writing; your statements and owner IDs go to the processor, not to us. Where a referral agreement is in place, the processor pays us a share of its own margin. Nothing is added to your rate, and we never touch your funds.

The guarantee

Founding cohort

The first five merchants who sign by 20 December 2026: price locked for 24 months, migration at $0 on a 12-month term, and a private reference call from you in return. A named case study is optional and earns a separate, larger credit.

What you still pay others

Your own gateway, merchant account, Klaviyo, ShipStation, AgeChecker and any other app you keep. We do not mark those up and we do not bill them. The cost sheet lists each one with its published price.
