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 selecting a dedicated Ecommerce Site Plan, as standard CMS plans cannot be upgraded with Ecommerce as an add-on.
- Ecommerce plans (Standard, Plus, Advanced) include CMS features by default and fully replace any existing CMS hosting.
Webflow Ecommerce pricing is separate from regular CMS hosting plans and must be added based on the client's specific needs. Whether the client already has CMS hosting or only wants Ecommerce, Ecommerce features require a dedicated plan.
1. Webflow Hosting Plans Are Tiered by Function
- Standard Site Plans (Basic, CMS, Business) support general websites and blogs.
- Ecommerce Site Plans combine CMS functionality with Ecommerce features and require an upgrade from basic CMS plans.
- If a client already has a CMS hosting plan (e.g., the CMS Site Plan at $29/month) and wants to add Ecommerce, you'll need to upgrade to an Ecommerce plan.
2. Ecommerce Pricing is Not Add-On, It Replaces the Hosting Plan
- Webflow doesn’t offer Ecommerce as a separate add-on. Instead, Ecommerce hosting plans include CMS and Ecommerce together.
- Current Ecommerce tiers:
- Standard ($42/month billed annually) – for new or small stores.
- Plus ($84/month billed annually) – includes higher transaction limits and removes Webflow branding.
- Advanced ($235/month billed annually) – for high-volume businesses.
3. If the Client Only Wants Ecommerce
- They’ll still need an Ecommerce Site Plan, which includes CMS features by default—you cannot strip them out.
- There’s no cheaper “Ecommerce-only” plan without CMS.
Summary
Webflow Ecommerce pricing is not included with standard CMS plans and must be fulfilled by choosing an Ecommerce-specific site plan. If the client only wants Ecommerce, they’ll still need one of the Ecommerce tiers, which always includes CMS functionality.
