Pricing

The pricing applicable to Your store(s) varies by Store Level.

For each store You open using our Services, You will pay a Monthly Subscription Fee and a Successful Transaction Fee on all products. For an additional fee, You may choose specialty ProStores Services or services provided by third parties designed to help enhance Your store. The Third Party Services will be subject to the Third Party Terms and will be billed by the Third Party.

The total cost of Your Store (the "Total Fee") that may be billed by ProStores is the sum of

(1) the Monthly Subscription Fee,
(2) the Successful Transaction Fee, and
(3) any specialty ProStores Services You choose

The Monthly Subscription Fee and Successful Transaction Fee are automatically charged to Your credit card or to Your PayPal account on file with ProStores as described in the section "Authorization to Withdraw Payment" below. For information on fees for specialty ProStores Services, please see the section "ProStores Services" below. ProStores will provide You with a fee statement via email on the day your credit card or Your PayPal account is charged in order to advise You of the amounts charged. Refusal to pay or rejection of any such fees is ground for immediate account suspension and/or Termination.
