WooCommerce
- The plugin is free but you must supply and pay for WordPress hosting, which WooCommerce itself puts at $25 to $350 per month for most stores
- Functionality such as subscriptions and bookings comes from paid extensions priced at $29 to $299 per year each, renewed annually
- Card payments through WooPayments cost roughly 2.50 to 2.90 percent plus 30 cents per transaction
- Total cost depends on how many extensions a store needs rather than a single published plan price
