Will the pricing for Webflow Ecommerce be separate or will it be included with hosting for clients who are already using a CMS solution? What if the client only wants to have Ecommerce?
TL;DR
- Ecommerce features require a separate Ecommerce hosting plan, which includes all CMS functionality—clients cannot combine or stack CMS and Ecommerce plans.
- Even if only selling products without using CMS, clients must choose an Ecommerce plan (Standard, Plus, or Advanced), as CMS features are bundled by default.
Webflow Ecommerce pricing is separate from CMS or Basic hosting plans. If a client wants to use Ecommerce functionality, they must choose an Ecommerce plan regardless of their current CMS use.
1. Webflow Pricing Structure
- CMS Hosting Plans are intended for content-driven websites without ecommerce.
- Ecommerce Plans include all CMS functionality plus ecommerce features like product pages, checkout, cart, and payment processing.
2. Ecommerce Plans Are Inclusive
- If your client is already on a CMS plan and wants to add ecommerce, they must upgrade to an Ecommerce hosting plan (Standard, Plus, or Advanced).
- Ecommerce plans automatically include CMS features like collections and dynamic content. You do not need to buy both.
3. Ecommerce-Only Use Without CMS
- Webflow does not offer an Ecommerce-only plan without CMS functionality.
- Even if the client only wants to sell products without managing CMS content, they still must choose an Ecommerce plan, which includes CMS features by default.
4. Current Ecommerce Plan Tiers
As of 2024, Ecommerce site plans include:
- Standard ($42/month billed annually)
- 500 items (products, categories, CMS items combined)
- Plus ($84/month billed annually)
- 5,000 items
- Advanced ($235/month billed annually)
- 15,000 items
Each includes hosting and is billed per site.
Summary
Ecommerce hosting is separate from CMS plans and required if ecommerce features are needed. CMS is already included in Ecommerce plans, so clients do not pay for both separately. If a site needs ecommerce—even without CMS—they must still use an Ecommerce hosting plan.
