Transaction Fees and Ecommerce Website Ownership

At Adrenaline Commerce, LLC we are always on the look out for the best ways to save our clients money. In partnering with Volusion and becoming an Authorized Reseller of their shopping cart solution, we were very excited to learn that they DO NOT charge per sales fees or commissions like many major ecommerce service providers do.

Below, you will see a very straight forward comparison of the overall costs of hosting a website with Adrenaline Commerce on the Volusion Solution versus managing and hosting a website on the Yahoo! Stores platform.

Lets face it, success should not cost you more. The numbers below speak for themselves.

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.

*Monthly fees are calculated based on average monthly hosting fees paid by Volusion stores. Yahoo! fees are calculated based on Yahoo! Standard Plan monthly fees and transaction fees, which are based on total monthly sales. Yahoo! Starter Plans charge 1.5% in transaction fees. These fees exclude any one time fees or fees paid to a payment gateway or merchant account. This chart valid on 3/17/09.
