What Stan costs before your first sale

Stan prices its plans in US dollars. Its 0% transaction fee sits on top of these, and Stripe or PayPal processing is charged separately.

Stan Creator Pro$99$948 a year₹0 upfront, 5% per sale

Prices from Stan's pricing post, read on 8 October 2026. Dollar prices are not converted.

What does Stan's 0% leave out?

Stan's homepage says "0% Transaction Fees, Always." Its pricing post then says "With Stan, you'll only pay the standard Stripe or PayPal processing fee." So the 0% is Stan's own cut, and processing is charged on top by Stripe or PayPal, at a rate that depends on the buyer's country and payment method.

  • Stan's cut per sale: 0%.
  • Processing: charged by Stripe or PayPal, not by Stan.
  • Plan: $29 or $99 a month, in dollars.
  • On Peerseek, the 5% is the whole charge. Nothing is added at payout.
