One year for a small shop on a paid plan, before payment fees and your domain.

- Fee from Bloqpage on your sales: none
Netcash Shop
- Venture, billed monthly: R3,960 excl. VAT

Netcash lists prices excluding VAT and monthly billing only; Bloqpage prices are the amounts charged. Netcash's free plan needs at least one gateway sale a month and a monthly gateway fee. Dollar prices are converted at about R16.50 to the dollar and rounded, so treat rand figures for them as a guide.
