How much does an online shop cost in Bulgaria?
With CG Shops by CraftGenie an online shop costs €144 a year excluding VAT (€12 a month, €172.80 with VAT). The price includes hosting, updates, cash on delivery (Наложен платеж), the built-in connection to the couriers Econt, Speedy, BOX NOW and Pigeon Express, and card payments through Stripe, with no fee on your sales.
You pay separately only what is under your own contracts with other companies: the courier, card payments, and a domain if you want your own.
At the start, every cost matters. So it helps to know early what you pay, and to whom. Here is what the price of any online shop is made of.
What the price of an online shop is made of
- Building it. Design, products, texts, legal pages. Here AI does this in the chat, and it is in the price.
- Hosting, updates and security. Someone has to look after the site, just as a car needs servicing. In CG Shops that is our job, in the price.
- Courier and payment modules. Ask whether they cost extra. In CG Shops they are included.
- A fee on your sales. Ask whether the platform takes a percentage of each sale. As you sell more, it adds up. CG Shops takes no percentage.
- Courier and card fees. They follow your contract with the courier or with Stripe, on any platform.
- A domain. The shop is free at name.cgshops.com. You register your own domain, such as magazin.bg, with a provider you choose. Connecting it is included.
