Beware of Hidden Bandwidth Fees and High Transaction Fees!

All providers of shopping cart software and Ecommerce hosting will charge you based on your online store traffic and sales, whether it is through a hidden 'Bandwidth Fee', or through a Transaction Fee. Bandwidth Fees for an online shopping cart system are considered to be hidden, because you will never know what the fee entails. This is why Fortune3 has chosen the Transaction Fee to measure your Ecommerce site's traffic and use. A low transaction fee is much more convenient for you when using a hosted Ecommerce solution that includes the shopping cart software, because you do not pay for traffic or bandwidth used to update your site, or for traffic that doesn't conclude in a sale, whereas with a hidden bandwidth fee, your monthly bill can suddenly increase exponentially, without having an increase in your sales or revenues (because of traffic or frequent site modifications). The Fortune3 shopping cart has the lowest transaction fee in the market. While Yahoo Store's transaction fee is 1.5%, Fortune3's transaction fee is always less than 1%, ranging between 0.3% and 0.95%, depending on your monthly sales revenue. As you sell more, the percentage goes lower. This is highly beneficial for our merchants, as our very small transaction fee enables free unlimited bandwidth for their accounts and guarantees that you will always know what you pay, and what you are supposed to pay, based on your sales.

Fortune3's Transaction Fee ends up being lower than most providers' bandwidth fees 95% of the time, no matter how much you sell on your site. The chart below represents an independent study done by Fortune3, showing how the Fortune3 Transaction Fee is always lower than bandwidth fees charged by other Ecommerce hosting providers.*
