Frequently asked questions

Pricing, fees and billing

Who is Shelf for?

Creators based in Portugal: your Stripe account opens in Portugal, and the app is in Portuguese. Your buyers can be anywhere. They pay by card, and buyers in Portugal can also pay with MB WAY. You issue your own invoices, under your own tax obligations.

How much does Shelf cost?

The Creator plan costs €29/month or €99/year (€8.25/month), with a 14-day free trial. It includes your store, unlimited digital products, courses, paid sessions, 1 community, automatic purchase emails, reminders and notices, and analytics.

What commission does Shelf take on each sale?

0% on digital products, courses, sessions and lead magnets. On communities, 5% of each member payment, with no fixed fee per group and no member limit. Every paid sale also has Stripe's processing fee, for example 1.5% + €0.25 with MB WAY.

Why do communities have 5% and everything else 0%?

Recurring memberships need ongoing work: automatic billing, access management, retries of failed payments, members, invites and messages. Shelf only charges when the creator gets paid. A €19/month community still leaves you about €17.50 per member after Shelf's 5% and Stripe's fee.

What are the MB WAY and card fees?

Stripe's standard fees, paid to Stripe with no Shelf markup: MB WAY and EU cards 1.5% + €0.25; premium EU cards 2.8% + €0.25; cards from outside the EU between 2.5% and 3.15% + €0.25; Multibanco, if you switch it on, 2.95% + €0.25, only on a paid reference. Payments go to your own Stripe account.

What happens when the free trial ends?

You pick the monthly (€29/month) or yearly plan (€99/year (€8.25/month)) to keep your store live. If you don't, the store goes inactive, but your data and products stay saved and you can come back anytime.

Can I switch from monthly to yearly, or cancel?

Yes, anytime in your billing settings. When you cancel, the plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

How do I get paid?

Straight into your own Stripe account, which you create during onboarding, with payouts to your bank account. Shelf never holds your money: you are the merchant of record.
