Clear hosted-platform pricing
Every HobbyTill setup begins with a real conversation. We learn how the shop works, configure the platform with the client, test the result, and help the team prepare for launch.
This is a professional implementation and configuration service, not the purchase of a software copy or a do-it-yourself website template.
The monthly service keeps the licensed HobbyTill platform hosted, maintained, supported, and available to the business.
Stripe account required
HobbyTill does not collect the shop’s sales proceeds. The shop must create and maintain its own eligible Stripe account, complete Stripe’s verification requirements, and connect that account during implementation.
What is included
Branded pages, product catalog, customer accounts, online ordering, local pickup, policies, events, contact forms, and related public features.
Point of sale, customers, inventory, store credit, gift cards, loyalty, preorders, releases, trades, events, cash reconciliation, reporting, employees, and configured modules.
HobbyTill does not ask a shop owner to configure a complicated retail platform alone. A real person works through the setup with the client.
The platform and website are licensed as a hosted service. Continued access depends on an active subscription; the underlying software and design framework are not sold to the client.
Quoted separately when needed
We identify these items during the sales and implementation discussions so there are no surprises.
Card-processing fees are charged separately by Stripe under the merchant’s Stripe agreement.
Computers, tablets, scanners, receipt printers, payment terminals, cash drawers, networking, and other physical equipment are not included unless quoted.
Complex imports, cleanup, transformation, and migration from an existing POS or ecommerce system may require a separate scope.
New client-specific features, unusual integrations, major content entry, photography, and work outside the standard implementation may be quoted separately.
Domain registration, premium email, shipping services, SMS services, accounting tools, and other external services remain separate where applicable.
Travel, physical installation, extensive employee training, and on-site hardware troubleshooting are separate unless included in writing.
Frequently asked pricing questions
No. The setup fee covers implementation, configuration, branding, planning, testing, and initial training. HobbyTill is licensed as a hosted service. Your business retains ownership of its domain, logo, supplied content, photographs, product information, customer data, and other business data, but the HobbyTill platform, source code, design framework, and reusable components remain owned by the provider.
Card and hobby shops operate differently. Products, taxes, loyalty rules, releases, preorders, events, trades, employees, hardware, policies, and existing data all affect the setup. A live implementation helps ensure the platform reflects how the client actually wants to operate.
Yes, a merchant-owned Stripe account is required to accept card payments through HobbyTill. The business must meet Stripe’s requirements and is responsible for its Stripe account. Stripe processing fees are separate from HobbyTill pricing.
No. HobbyTill does not add a percentage marketplace commission to direct website sales. The $85 monthly service fee still applies, and Stripe or another approved third party may charge its own processing or service fees.
No. Existing compatible equipment may be usable, but computers, tablets, card terminals, receipt printers, scanners, and cash drawers are separate unless specifically listed in a written quote. Hardware compatibility must be confirmed.
The governing client agreement defines the term, cancellation process, and export window. The shop owns its business data and may request an export in the available formats, but the licensed HobbyTill software and design do not transfer when service ends.
The monthly fee includes continued platform access, hosting, routine maintenance, platform updates, backups, and reasonable support for existing features. New custom development, large data projects, redesigns, and work outside the standard service are separately quoted.
