Paying thousands for a website before you have sold anything?

Most ecommerce businesses pay a build fee up front, then pay hosting, then pay a processor on top. With eCom Pro the website comes with your eCom Pay account, so you launch with no build fee and one account for the site and the payments.

  • No build fee, no hosting fee, no setup fee to apply
  • One team for the website and the payments, since 2007
  • Sector plugins included where your industry needs them

Payments ready, vetted by our payments team

Before launch, the same people who handle your payments setup review your website and ask for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, which is why we never publish a checklist and never build to one. The site and the application go through together.

Sharfin designed and built our new website to enable us to accept online payments. The new website looks amazing and navigating around it so simple compared to what we had before. Sharfin and his team have always been available when we have required any technical support or assistance.

Chris StandenJust Vape and Juices Limited

Done all our website. It now accepts payments and it was very complex. Reachable at all sorts of odd hours, and had a very simple journey with sharfin. Highly recommend them and their expertise.

Prestige KeysChauffeur and car hire, Luton

Sharfin was an absolute pro. Took time to really try to understand our needs and propose solutions which fit our budget and timescales. He made smart suggestions without being pushy but improving the plan so we didn't waste time or resources on things we don't need.

The free website is not a trick. If your business is trading and taking card payments, you get the website with your eCom Pay account and there is no build fee. If you are just starting out, talk to us and we will look at it honestly.

Free website questions

Who qualifies for the free website?

Businesses already trading and taking card payments through eCom Pay. Ecommerce businesses need to process £5k a month or more in card revenue. Trading restaurants and takeaways qualify with no turnover threshold.

I am a start-up. Can I get the free website?

Often, yes. The free website is for businesses already trading and taking card payments. If you are just getting started, tell us about your plans and we will look at it with you case by case. Pay monthly from £50 a month plus VAT is there too if it suits you better.

What is the catch?

There is one condition. The website comes with your eCom Pay account, so it is tied to it. If you move your payments elsewhere, the website goes with it. Everything else, hosting, security, updates and email marketing, is included.

Is it a template or a custom build?

Free websites are built on our proven ecommerce templates, tailored with your branding, products and sector plugins. Custom builds are on the pay monthly plans from £50 a month plus VAT.

How long does it take to go live?

Most free websites are live within two weeks of receiving your products and content. Your eCom Pay approval runs in parallel, so payments are live when the site is.

Can I use Stripe or PayPal on a free website?

No. The website is free because your card payments run through eCom Pay. You can keep PayPal as an additional option if you want to.

What if I am under £5k a month?

Pay monthly websites start at £50 a month plus VAT and include everything the free website does. When you pass £5k a month through eCom Pay, ask us about moving onto the free plan.
