Estimates for US-based sellers of digital products priced in USD, not financial or tax advice. Fees checked 2026-10-17. Sales tax and VAT aren't included: some platforms collect them for you, and some charge their fee on them too. See every fee and its official source.
How Stan Store fees work
Stan Store's Creator plan costs $29 a month ($300 if you pay yearly) and takes no transaction fee. Payments go through your own Stripe or PayPal account, so you pay their processing: Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30, plus 1.5% for cards issued outside the US.
On a $20 product you keep $19.12 per sale, more than on any free platform. The catch is the $29 you pay even in a month with no sales.
At $20 a sale, Stan beats Lemon Squeezy, the free platform that leaves the most at that price, from 47 sales a month. The break-even line under the results works it out for your own price.
Creator Pro ($99 a month) adds marketing tools but the same 0% fee, so it isn't modelled as a plan.
