 Assuming you're talking loonies here...

A shopify plan is $38 CAD  ($29 USD) if you pay for an entire year at once. The first 3 months are $1 a month. Credit card rates are 2.9% + $0.30 CAD per transaction, which is honestly cheap compared to other credit card processors.  Etsy is 3-4% plus their listing fees.   


My wife has a shop on Shopify, and honestly the $30 USD a month we spend on it is worth not having to deal with running and maintaining our own ecommerce site.  calculating, buying and printing shipping labels is comparable with other shipping services (such as pirateship or stamps.com), and is incredibly easy. 

They raised their prices about a year ago, and I had considered dumping them and running something self-managed,  but after looking at processing fees and the work I'd have to put into it, I realized Shopify was still the better deal.
