For sellers running more than one brand.
Every brand and storefront, one login.
Free for 7 days with everything unlocked, no card needed. After that, selling needs a plan; your link-in-bio page stays free. Prices in USD, billed monthly, cancel anytime. No plan has a sales cap.
Podia's pricing page lists 5% fees on its Mover plan and no fees on its Shaker and Earthquaker plans. Processor fees from Stripe or PayPal are extra.
