Small Store Pricing

We price by size and are introducing new lower price brackets for small stores. If your annual turnover is under $300k contact us as you are likely to get a price cut.

The aim of our pricing is to be simple and fair and to encourage use.

Cost for us is, to a degree, related to store size as we provide the servers that have to store the information and crunch the numbers.

We hope the new tiers (which go down to $50 p/month) will make Circle more accessible, as well as more affordable for our smaller customers.
