The short version: Cococart's Online Store is $19 a month, or $59 for Pro, with a 7-day free trial and annual billing that gives you two months free. Everything else is a separate module: POS Pro $59, QR Ordering $39, Loyalty $39, Kitchen Display $39, Bookings $29, Email Marketing $19, CRM $19. That is why the bundles are $99 Value, $199 Essentials, and $249 Premium. Before you compare any of it, know this: Cococart does not publish a transaction or processing fee anywhere on its pricing page. Its own "What fees are there?" FAQ answer does not render, and three separate attempts to read it failed. At any real volume that missing number is larger than the subscription.
Figures came from Cococart's own pricing page, verified again on 23 July 2026.
The published prices are unusually detailed for everything except the one figure that decides your total.

Cococart claims 70,000+ businesses and supports five languages: English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. The point-of-sale module has a free tier alongside the $59 Pro version.
An unpublished processing rate on top of a published subscription makes the true monthly cost unknowable from the outside, and the add-on arithmetic below shows how fast the modules stack. The comparison against a single-bill storefront with every rate published is mostly a comparison of what you can verify.
Because at any volume worth having, processing dwarfs the subscription.
Take $2,000 a month across 80 orders. On a common 2.9% plus 30¢ rate, processing is $82 a month, or $984 a year. The $19 store plan is $228 a year. The number you cannot see is more than four times the number you can.
And a one-point difference in that unpublished rate is worth $240 a year at that volume, which is more than the entire store subscription. So a comparison built on the $19 headline is a comparison of the smaller half.
This is not an accusation. Plenty of good software leaves processing off the marketing page, often because the answer varies by country and Cococart operates in several. What it does mean is that you cannot price Cococart from its pricing page, and anyone who publishes a side-by-side total against a competitor has invented a number.
Three routes, in order of speed.
Question three is the one that resolves the ambiguity fastest, and it is worth asking first.
While you are there, ask the two follow-ups people forget: is there a platform or per-order fee on top of processing, and who pays it, you or the customer. Some platforms in this category add their fee to the buyer's total rather than deducting it from yours, and that is a materially different product.
It depends entirely on how many modules you switch on, and the answer moves fast.
Work out what the bundles are actually saving you. Value at $99 contains Online Store Pro ($59), Loyalty ($39), Email ($19), and CRM ($19), which is $136 bought separately. So the bundle saves $37 a month, about 27%. That is a real discount rather than a repackaging exercise.
The genuine advantage of modular pricing is that modules you never switch on cost you nothing, which is not true of a bundled competitor. A vendor who needs a store and QR ordering pays $58 a month and nothing for the other six.
The genuine risk is drift. Each module looks like a small addition on the day you add it, and nobody re-totals the bill until renewal. Set a calendar reminder to look at what you are paying for once a year.
Cococart's pricing page does not spell out the difference between Online Store and Online Store Pro, which makes this hard to answer from outside.
What is visible is that the Value bundle includes Online Store Pro rather than the basic store, which suggests Pro is the tier the company expects a real business to use. That is a signal rather than a fact.
The $40 monthly gap is $480 a year, which is a lot for a small food business, so this is a question to answer in the trial rather than to assume. Build your actual catalog on the $19 tier and see what you hit. If nothing is missing, stay there.
The general rule holds here as elsewhere: buy the tier your business currently needs, not the one your business might need. Upgrading later is a click. The $480 you did not spend is gone forever.
The module list gives it away, and this is the most useful thing on the page.
QR code ordering, kitchen display, bookings, and a point-of-sale tier describe a venue. Tables, a kitchen line, staff, and people ordering while seated. That is a coherent product with a clear customer: a café, a small restaurant, a food truck with a window, a bakery with a counter.
A cottage food seller with a Saturday pickup window uses roughly one of those eight modules. The other seven are built for a business with premises.
So sort by business type before you sort by price:
If you are in that last group, the comparisons worth reading are the ones aimed at your shape of business: our Square Online vs Etsy breakdown covers the traffic question, and Shopify vs Big Cartel covers the storefront question at a quarter of Cococart's bundle price.
Our fuller look at Cococart for small food sellers covers the product itself, and our Square Online vs Cococart comparison puts its pricing next to a platform that publishes everything.
More than it sounds, and it is genuinely rare.
Cococart supports English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. Almost every competitor in this category is English-only, including the ones with much larger engineering teams.
For a vendor serving a bilingual community, that is not a nice-to-have. A storefront your customers cannot read costs you orders in a way no fee structure does, and there is no workaround: you cannot translate a checkout flow yourself.
If that describes your customers, this may settle the decision regardless of the unpublished fee. Get the rate in writing anyway, but weigh it against a capability nothing else in the category offers.
For a stall in a bilingual neighbourhood, one line carries the whole section: a checkout in your customer's first language is worth more than most paid add-ons, and only Cococart offers one in five languages.
Seven days is short, so plan it rather than drifting through it.
Point one deserves the emphasis. If you spend seven days admiring the product and never establish what a transaction costs, you have learned the least important half.
Seven days is also on the short end for this category. Bakesy gives 30, Bake.Shop 14, Local Line 7 with no card required, and Cottage CMS's free tier means no clock at all. So do not start the trial on a quiet Tuesday out of curiosity. Start it the week you have real orders coming, with your product photographs and prices already written down, and treat the seven days as a test rather than a tour.
Worth asking before you build, because modular platforms are stickier than they look.
A single storefront is straightforward to leave: export products, export customers, point the domain elsewhere. A setup running six modules is different, because your loyalty balances, your CRM history, your bookings, and your email list all live in separate parts of one system, and each has its own answer to "can I take this with me?"
So ask, in the trial, in writing:
None of these are reasons to avoid Cococart. They are the questions that turn a two-year relationship into a reversible decision, and the best time to ask them is while you are still a prospect rather than a customer.
While you are running it, it costs nothing to put the same week of orders through a storefront that publishes its rate. Two real totals beat one real total and one blank.
That first one is the largest recurring cost that no subscription in this category removes. Registering, collecting, filing, and remitting is a quarterly obligation measured in hours, and it arrives whether or not your software mentions it.
If that is the work you are trying to stop doing, Homegrown is $10 a month billed annually with 0% commission and 2.9% plus $0.30 processing published up front, and it handles pickup at each place you sell with its own schedule and cutoff, local delivery with a radius and a route, and sales tax calculated, filed, and remitted in all 50 states. The honest bounds: it has no point-of-sale, no QR table ordering, no kitchen display, no bookings, no loyalty program, and it does not ship nationally. If you run a venue, Cococart is built for a business Homegrown is not aimed at. If you sell pre-made batches for collection, you can run one order weekend through both during Cococart's trial and compare on your own numbers.
Whichever you choose, the shop name is worth settling before you print packaging. The USPTO's trademark basics covers how to search existing marks and what registration protects. And since you will be taking card details either way, the FTC's privacy and data security guidance for businesses covers what you remain responsible for regardless of who processes the payment.
Online Store is $19 a month and Online Store Pro is $59. Modules run $19 to $59 each, and bundles are $99 Value, $199 Essentials, and $249 Premium. Annual billing gives two months free, and there is a 7-day trial.
Not published. The pricing page lists plans and modules but no transaction or processing rate, and its "What fees are there?" FAQ answer does not render on the page. Get it in writing during the trial.
Not stated either way on the pricing page. Ask specifically whether there is a platform or per-order fee on top of processing, and whether it is charged to you or added to your customer's total.
It contains $136 of modules bought separately, so it saves about 27%. Whether that is worth $1,188 a year depends entirely on whether you would use loyalty, email marketing, and CRM, which most small food vendors would not.
Not detailed on the pricing page. The $40 monthly gap is $480 a year, so build your real catalog on the $19 tier during the trial and see what you actually hit before upgrading.
Yes: English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. That is unusual in this category and can be decisive if your customers do not read English comfortably.
Probably not. Its modules are built around a venue with tables, a kitchen line, and a counter. A vendor selling pre-made batches for collection would use about one of the eight and pay for the rest.
Cococart's $19 store plan is genuinely cheap, its bundles are real discounts rather than repackaging, and its five-language support is something almost nothing else in this category offers.
What you cannot do is price it. The transaction and processing fees are absent from a pricing page that is otherwise unusually detailed, and at $2,000 a month the number you cannot see is more than four times the number you can. A one-point difference in it is worth more than the whole store subscription.
So the sequence is: start the trial, get the rate in writing on day one, then decide. And before any of that, look at the module list honestly. If QR ordering, kitchen display, and bookings describe a business you do not run, the price you should be comparing is not $19 but the cost of a tool built for the business you do run.
