The eommerce platform that doesn't tax your success

Many ecommerce platforms increase their fees as your revenue grows. Voracio takes a different approach. Our pricing reflects real platform workload rather than simply sales figures.

The problem with revenue-based ecommerce pricing

Most platforms take a share of your growth through transaction fees and an expanding ecosystem of paid apps, creating a growing stack of recurring costs as your business scales.

Why should selling a £5,000 product cost more to process than a £5 product when the platform does exactly the same work?

Revenue driven pricing

Many platforms link their fees to your sales rather than the work required to run your store.

Why it matters

The workload required to run your website may change very little as order values increase, yet many platforms continue charging more simply because you sell more.

The Voracio approach

Our pricing is based primarily on real platform workload, with revenue only a small part of the calculation, creating fair and predictable pricing as your business grows.

You've done the hard work sourcing the right products, building supplier relationships and growing your business. Why should your ecommerce platform keep skimming a percentage off every sale?

Understanding costs at £3M turnover

When evaluating an ecommerce platform, it's important to consider the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), not just the monthly platform fee. The comparison below uses Shopify as an example to illustrate how pricing models, payment fees, third-party apps and support costs can significantly affect the overall cost of running your business.

Example below is based on a real Voracio retailer with £3M annual turnover. The Shopify comparison uses the same business requirements to estimate equivalent Total Cost of Ownership.

£70,380 annual saving with Voracio

* Figures are based on a real Voracio retailer with approximately £3M annual turnover. Shopify costs have been calculated using publicly available pricing and Last checked July 2026.

Lower total costs are only part of the story. Voracio also includes many capabilities that retailers on other platforms typically pay for through multiple third-party subscriptions.

Beware the hidden cost of payment processing

Many retailers don't realise the true cost of payment processing. The biggest cost on your P&L often isn't your platform, its your payments.

Platform subscriptions often receive the most scrutiny, yet for many successful retailers, payment processing costs are significantly higher. Small differences in transaction fees can amount to tens of thousands of pounds every year, making payment provider flexibility one of the most important commercial decisions an ecommerce business can make.

Voracio is payment provider agnostic

Shopify encourages merchants to use Shopify Payments by applying additional transaction fees when alternative payment providers are used. This can significantly reduce the financial benefit of switching to a lower-cost provider. Voracio is payment provider agnostic, allowing retailers to choose the payment provider that delivers the best commercial outcome without additional platform transaction fees.

£3M retailer example

A retailer turning over £3 million could easily spend tens of thousands of pounds more each year through higher payment processing fees than they would with a more competitive provider. That's often significantly more than the annual cost of the ecommerce platform itself.

Voracio gives you the freedom to choose the payment provider that's right for your business. For many retailers, this alone is enough to achieve a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership.
