WooCommerce Store Costs: First Year and Renewal Prices
This table prices the parts of a WooCommerce store in US dollars: seven hosting rows, two .com domains, two themes (one free on WordPress.org, one premium shown for information) and six Marketplace extensions, with first-year and renewal amounts where the page states them. No extension page states a renewal price. WooCommerce core, the tax and shipping tools and the payment fees are covered below. Each row shows the date I read it, October 30 or October 31, 2026.

Price by plan
First year is what you pay in the first 12 months. Renewal is the cost of 12 months at the price the vendor lists for renewal. Every row links to the vendor's own pricing page and shows the date we checked it. All amounts are in USD.

The page also carries Black Friday wording (Up to 82% off managed hosting for WordPress this Black Friday) on the same cards and states no end date, so it does not separate a Black Friday price from a regular intro price. | $47.88 | $131.88 | 3 websites, 20 GB SSD storage, free weekly backups, CDN, priority 24/7 expert support, domain free for 1 year | Pricing page | |

WooCommerce core and the official tax and shipping tools
The WooCommerce home page has the words 'Download WooCommerce free' in its footer and calls WooCommerce 'the Open Source commerce platform for WordPress'. The page shows the word and no price figure, so no number is added for the core plugin.
WooCommerce Tax and WooCommerce Shipping are both listed by Woo, and their pages, read October 30, 2026, describe them as free, with the limits in the table.
| Tool | Price as the page states it | Limits the page states |
|---|---|---|
| WooCommerce Tax | Listed at no price; the FAQ describes it as free | Available in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and listed European countries. The page says the extension does not file or remit tax. |
| WooCommerce Shipping | No number. 'WooCommerce Shipping is free to install, with no markup, no monthly fees, and no hidden costs.' | 'Shipments need to originate from the US.' You pay for the labels you buy. The page says it does not show live rates to customers at checkout. |
Marketplace extensions: 1-year and 2-year plans
Each extension page lists a 1-year plan and a 2-year plan. The plan rows above use the 1-year amount, and the table adds the 2-year amount as the page shows it. These are the US view of woocommerce.com, read October 31, 2026 through a US-region fetch.
None of the six pages states a renewal price, whether the plan renews automatically, or a site limit, so no extension has a renewal figure and none is in a renewal sum. Each lists a 30-day money-back guarantee.
| Extension | 1-year plan | 2-year plan, as the page shows it | Renewal as the page states it |

Payment processing fees in the United States
Processors charge per sale, so these fees are not in any total. Stripe and WooPayments were read on October 31, 2026 from their US pages; PayPal was read on October 30, 2026.
WooPayments figures come from the section headed United States on the WooPayments fees page on woocommerce.com. Stripe's come from its US pricing page.
| Processor | Card rate as published | Added fees as published | Setup and monthly fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe (read October 31, 2026) | 2.9% + 30¢ per successful transaction for domestic cards | + 0.5% for manually entered cards, + 1.5% for international cards, + 1% if currency conversion is required, $15.00 for each dispute received | No setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden fees. |
| WooPayments (read October 31, 2026) | 2.90% + $0.30 | +1.50% international payment, +1.00% currency conversion, $15.00 dispute. The page says Puerto Rico-based merchants are charged the same rates. | The WooPayments page said on October 30, 2026: pay as you go, without setup costs or monthly fees. |
| PayPal (read October 30, 2026) | 3.49% + fixed fee for PayPal Checkout; 2.99% + fixed fee for Standard Credit and Debit Card Payments. Fixed fee for US dollars: 0.49 USD. | +1.50% international on commercial transactions, 3.00% or 4.00% currency conversion, 20.00 USD chargeback | A monthly fee for a standard commercial account is not stated on the page. |
Notes on the hosting and theme rows
The Bluehost and SiteGround rows are US views read on October 31, 2026. The other hosting rows reuse the figures from WPBundle's hosting pages, read October 30, 2026. Where a longer term is prepaid, firstYear is the full upfront amount for that term, which is why the Hostinger 12-month row sits beside the 48-month row.
Storefront, Automattic's theme on wordpress.org, is not a row here. It is listed in the theme directory with a Download button, version 4.6.2 and 90,000+ active installations, last updated December 9, 2025, and the page shows no price text.
The Liquid Web page for Kadence sells a 1-site bundle for $350 a year and does not say which Kadence product that covers, so it is not a row or part of any total.
Astra Pro + AI is a row for information only. Brainstorm Force products are shown with a price and are never picked automatically.
Disclosure: I work at Brainstorm Force, the company that makes Astra.
How I checked
Every price comes from the vendor's own page, read on October 30 or October 31, 2026 as each row shows. Nothing was estimated or converted, and nothing was purchased for this page.
