What it really costs to sell in Europe
A Kairosfy order has two costs for the seller: the fee of your plan and the shipping cost of the route. Everything else, from the catalogue to the storefront to the payouts, is part of the platform. Here are the numbers, and what they leave you on a €30 sale.
The plans and their per-order fee
The Free plan costs €0 per month and charges 2.5% per order shipped, with a minimum of €2.50. Because 2.5% of €100 is exactly €2.50, any order up to €100 of sales pays €2.50; above that, the percentage takes over.
Essential is €49.90 per month at 1.9%, with a €1.90 minimum. Advanced is €129.90 at 1.5%, with a €1.50 minimum. Total is €189.90 at 1%, with a €1.00 minimum. No plan has a lock-in, so the question is not which plan is best in general, but which one matches your order volume.
Shipping costs by route
You pay shipping per order, and the price depends on the route and on how the customer pays. Portugal to Portugal: €6.18 with cash on delivery and €5.15 paid online. Spain to Spain: €5.86 and €4.83. Spain to Portugal: €7.48 and €6.45.
Only mainland Portugal and peninsular Spain are active routes. Each order is settled at the real cost of the shipment, so heavy items can cost more than the standard table. Check the weight of a product before you set its price.
A worked example on a €30 product
Sell a €30 item to a Portuguese customer who pays online, on the Free plan. The fee is €2.50, because 2.5% of €30 is €0.75 and the minimum applies. Shipping is €5.15. Total cost: €7.65, leaving €22.35 from the sale.
The same order with cash on delivery costs €6.18 to ship and leaves €21.32. Sell inside Spain with online payment and the route costs €4.83, leaving €22.67. On the Essential plan the fee is €1.90, so the Portuguese online order leaves €22.95. These are arithmetic, not promises: nothing here includes advertising, accounting or tax.
When a paid plan starts to make sense
On orders up to €100, the gap between the Free plan and Essential is €0.60 per order (€2.50 against €1.90). You would need roughly 84 orders a month for that difference alone to cover the €49.90 subscription, and fewer if your average order is high enough for the percentages to separate.
Advanced and Total are aimed at bigger operations. Advanced adds the full European catalogue, AI sales pages and a professional mailbox. Total lists sales across the European Union, integrations, the academy, three mailboxes and priority support. Compare what you will actually use, not the name of the plan.
The costs the table does not show
Advertising, your own time, accounting and taxes sit outside the plan and shipping numbers. If you sell your own products, their cost is yours to add. If your revenue is in euros and your bank account is not, conversion is between you and your bank, and this guide gives no FX advice.
A simple way to price
Decide what you want to keep, add the fee and the shipping for the route you expect, and that is your minimum price. If the result looks expensive next to comparable stores, check whether a lighter item, a higher sale price or a paid plan fixes the margin.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to start?
The Free plan, at €0 per month. You pay 2.5% per order with a €2.50 minimum and the shipping cost of the route. Creating the store costs nothing.
Do I pay the shipping, or does the customer?
Shipping is a cost of the seller, listed per order. How you reflect it in the price the customer sees is your decision when you set the sale price.
Is the Free plan really free?
It has no monthly fee.
What does a €30 sale leave me?
On the Free plan, paid online in Portugal, it leaves €22.35 after the €2.50 fee and €5.15 shipping. Cash on delivery in Portugal leaves €21.32, and online payment inside Spain leaves €22.67. Advertising, accounting and tax come out of that.
Do heavier products cost more?
Yes. Each order is settled at the real shipping cost, and heavy items cost more than the standard route price. Check the weight before you price an item.
