Sellvia advertises a store that is ready in 60 seconds, and its pricing page lists three plans at $39, $99, and $299 a month. The monthly price is the easy part to read. The harder part is the list of percentage fees underneath, which decides what you actually pay once orders start. I teach ecommerce and high-ticket dropshipping at Ecommerce Paradise, I run my own stores, and my team builds done-for-you stores for clients, so I judge every pricing page by one test: what does the whole year cost, and what do I own at the end?
Everything below comes from Sellvia’s own pricing page as I reviewed it in October 2026. Where the page does not show a number, I write “not shown” instead of guessing. Prices and fees change, so confirm them on the live page before you pay. Some links in this article are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. I also sell a done-for-you service, and you should know that going in.
If you are still deciding which business model fits you, my guide to what high-ticket dropshipping is explains the model I teach, and this article shows what the Sellvia route costs by comparison.
Sellvia Pricing at a Glance
| Plan | Monthly price | Product limit | Server space | When it unlocks | My math: one year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $39 | Up to 5,000 | 4 GB | From day one | $468 |
| Advanced | $99 | Up to 10,000 | 10 GB | After 3 consecutive months of payment | $1,188 |
| Ultimate | $299 | Up to 20,000 | 50 GB | After 3 consecutive months of payment | $3,588 |
All three plans list a 14-day free trial. The Sellvia pricing page says billing starts after the trial and renews monthly until you cancel, with a reminder email three days before the trial ends. The yearly column is my own math, because annual billing and other non-monthly options are not shown.

What Each Sellvia Plan Includes
The plans differ by catalog size and storage. The pricing page FAQ says every plan includes the same turnkey store and platform features. The “Everything included” list shows an online store with hosting, a free domain, an SSL certificate, a branded email address, access to the Sellvia Catalog and Dashboard, reports, and priority support.
The per-plan checkmarks in the comparison table did not show up in the text I read, so the table alone does not confirm which feature sits on which plan. If a specific feature decides your purchase, ask Sellvia in writing before you pay. My full Sellvia review covers the home page claims, ratings, and fit in more depth.
The Three-Month Unlock on Advanced and Ultimate
Advanced and Ultimate unlock only after three consecutive months of payment. That means you cannot start on the $299 plan, even if you expect to need 20,000 products. You begin on Basic, pay for three straight months, and then the higher plans become available.
The page does not explain what happens if you pause or skip a month, so the word “consecutive” matters. If you plan to grow into a bigger plan, budget for three months of Basic first, which is $117 at the listed price, before the upgrade is even possible.
The Percentage Fees on the Pricing Page
The plan price is only part of the cost, because the pricing page lists a long set of percentage fees. I am listing them as stated, and I will flag where the page does not explain how they stack. The standard platform fees, where no other fee applies, are a 9% Processing Fee, a 19% Service Fee, and an 8% International Service Adjustment for purchases that originate outside the US.
For physical products, the page lists a Product Cost Charge of 40 to 60 percent of the Catalog Retail Price per unit. It also lists an Order Service Fee of 10 to 18 percent of the Catalog Retail Price per approved order. Promoted Orders carry a CPA Service Fee instead of the Order Service Fee.
Order Approval Fees
Order approval has its own fees. Individual approval is 0%, automatic approval is 15%, and bulk processing is 7%. A Late Approval Fee of 9% of the Catalog Retail Price applies when Sellvia approves an order using your Available Commission Balance.
The takeaway is that approving orders by hand costs nothing on the page, while automating the approval costs 15%. If you plan to handle many orders, that choice changes your margin a lot, so decide on purpose and not by default.
Advertising Fees
The Promotion Service (Ads) Fee is 28% on ad credits applied to promotion, added on top. In my own math, if you apply $100 in ad credits, the page’s wording suggests a $28 fee on top of that. The page does not give an example, so treat that as my reading and ask Sellvia to confirm it.
Ad spend is the cost every store carries, and I never expect a platform to cover it. The question is whether a 28% fee on top of the ad spend fits your margin. I explain how I think about ad budgets for high-ticket stores inside my masterclass.
Payout and Redemption Fees
Getting money out adds more fees. A Commission Use Fee of 9% applies when commission is used toward services, subscriptions, or products. Redemption fees run 5% for ad credits, 28% for order processing credits, and 5% for ACH with a $10 minimum.
International wire is 7% with a $30 minimum, express ACH is 14% with a $30 minimum, and express international wire is 14% with a $50 minimum. An identity verification fee of $4.50 per attempt is non-refundable. Reviewers on the third-party page I read also mentioned a $100 minimum for withdrawals, which I did not confirm on the pricing page itself.
All the Fees in One Table
| Fee | Amount as listed |
|---|---|
| Processing Fee | 9% |
| Service Fee | 19% |
| International Service Adjustment | 8%, for purchases that originate outside the US |
| Product Cost Charge | 40 to 60 percent of Catalog Retail Price, physical products |
| Order Service Fee | 10 to 18 percent of Catalog Retail Price per approved order |
| Individual, automatic, and bulk approval | 0%, 15%, and 7% |
| Late Approval Fee | 9% of Catalog Retail Price |
| Promotion Service (Ads) Fee | 28% on ad credits, added on top |
| Commission Use Fee | 9% |
| Redemption: ad credits, order processing credits, ACH | 5%, 28%, and 5% with a $10 minimum |
| International wire, express ACH, express international wire | 7% ($30 minimum), 14% ($30 minimum), 14% ($50 minimum) |
| Identity verification | $4.50 per attempt, non-refundable |
Worked Examples With My Own Math
The page does not show how these fees combine on a real order, so the examples below are illustrations built from the listed numbers, not quotes. Your actual cost depends on which fees apply to your products. Ask Sellvia before you rely on any of this.
Example 1: A $100 Physical Item
On a physical item with a $100 Catalog Retail Price, a 40 to 60 percent Product Cost Charge is $40 to $60. An Order Service Fee of 10 to 18 percent adds $10 to $18. Together that is $50 to $78 on one $100 item, if both fees apply to the same order, which the page does not state.
If the 9% Processing Fee and 19% Service Fee also applied, you would add another $28. I do not know that they stack, and the page does not say, so I am not claiming it. The honest answer is that you cannot calculate your margin from the page alone.
Example 2: A $32 Digital Product
The home page lists an average product value of $32. If the 9% Processing Fee and 19% Service Fee both applied to a $32 sale, that would be about $8.96, leaving $23.04 before ad costs. The home page also lists profit margins of 60 to 70 percent, and I could not reconcile that with the fee list, so ask Sellvia how the two fit together.
The bigger point is the size of the sale. A $32 product leaves a few dollars of margin after fees, so you need a lot of orders to make real money, and orders cost ad spend. That is the math problem at the heart of low-priced products.
Example 3: Taking a $100 Payout Out by ACH
The page lists a 5% ACH redemption fee with a $10 minimum. Five percent of $100 is $5, which is below the minimum, so if the minimum applies as written, you would pay $10, or 10 percent. The minimum makes small withdrawals expensive in percentage terms, which is why I suggest waiting and withdrawing larger amounts less often.
What the Fees Do to Your Real Monthly Cost
Think of your cost as three layers. The first layer is the plan, which is $39 to $299 a month. The second layer is the per-order fees, which grow as your sales grow. The third layer is the cost of moving money: ad credit fees, redemption fees, and payout fees.
A store that sells nothing pays only the plan price. A store that sells a lot pays the plan price plus a share of every order. That is a normal model, but it means the headline price tells you the least about your cost at the exact moment your store starts working.
Sellvia Pricing Versus Shopify Pricing
For comparison, the Shopify pricing page lists Basic at $39 a month on monthly billing or $29 a month billed yearly, Grow at $105 or $79, and Advanced at $399 or $299. Shopify’s page offers “3 days free, then $1 a month for 3 months.”
The plan prices look similar, but the two models are different. On Shopify you own the store, the domain, and the customer list, and you choose your own suppliers and apps. If you want to see how I think about those tiers, my Shopify pricing breakdown goes through them. Most of my clients end up on Shopify for that reason.
Sellvia Versus a Done-for-You High-Ticket Build
| Question | Sellvia | Ecommerce Paradise done-for-you |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | $39 to $299 a month plus the fees listed above | $4,997 one time for the 10-supplier build |
| What you sell | Digital products highlighted, average value $32 | High-ticket products from 10 US supplier brands |
| Who builds the store | Sellvia’s platform, ready in 60 seconds | A custom-designed Shopify store built for you |
| Timeline | Store ready in minutes | Typically 2 to 3 months, with ads live within 90 days of onboarding |
I want to be fair about the trade. Sellvia is faster and cheaper to start, and the monthly price is easy to see. The done-for-you service costs more up front and takes longer, and its page says no revenue or profit is guaranteed and that payments are non-refundable once made. It is not passive income either, since you still handle customer service, order processing, and fraud checks.
Ad spend, software, supplier payments, business formation, and taxes are separate costs on top of the $4,997 build. What you get for that price is a business with its own Shopify store, US supplier relationships, and ad accounts set up in your name. If you want to compare it with other turnkey options, my turnkey provider comparison covers the field.
Three-Year Cost: Tools Versus a Build
Here is my own math over three years, before ads and before the percentage fees. Sellvia Basic is $1,404 over 36 months at $39 a month. Sellvia Advanced is $3,564, and Ultimate is $10,764, each if you stay on it the whole time.
Shopify Basic is $1,044 over 36 months billed yearly, or $1,404 billed monthly. The done-for-you build is a single $4,997 payment, and you would still pay for Shopify, apps, and ads on top. The number to focus on is not the lowest monthly figure. It is what the same dollars buy you: a rented platform with fees on each order, or a business with suppliers and a store you control.
Who Sellvia Pricing Fits
The pricing fits you if you want to test ecommerce for a low monthly price, you are comfortable with low-priced digital products, and you like the idea of a fast start. It also fits if you plan to run your own ads and learn the numbers yourself, since every model depends on your own ad testing.
A 14-day free trial is a low-risk way to look. Use it as a test, not a commitment, and read the fee section of the live page before you add a card.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Look elsewhere if you want a store you can eventually sell, with your own supplier relationships and brand. Look elsewhere too if you want products priced high enough to absorb ad costs, or if the fee list makes your math too thin. My high-ticket niches list shows the kinds of categories where a single sale can pay for the ad spend that produced several visitors.
If you are comparing platforms, my Sellvia alternatives guide lays out five options side by side with prices from each vendor’s own page.
Questions to Ask Sellvia Before You Pay
Ask which fees apply to the exact products you plan to sell, and how they stack on a single order. Ask whether the 3-month unlock on the Advanced and Ultimate plans changes your pricing in any way. Ask what happens to your store, your domain, and your customer list if you cancel.
Ask for the refund terms in writing, because the pricing page refers readers to the Terms of Use and does not show them. Ask how withdrawals work, since the page lists several payout fees and reviewers mentioned a $100 minimum. Keep the answers, because they are your proof if something changes later.
A Simple 30-Day Test Plan
If you decide to try Sellvia, use the 14-day trial. In the first week, read the Terms of Use and set a hard limit on ad spend. In the second week, list three products and write down exactly which fees apply to each.
Before the trial ends, calculate your margin on one product after every fee. If the number is thin, cancel before the trial converts. Check the cancellation steps now, not after the first charge.
Costs to Watch as You Grow
The first cost is the plan jump to Advanced at $99 or Ultimate at $299, which unlocks only after three consecutive months of payment. The second cost is the fee stack on each order, which grows with your sales.
The third cost is the 28% Promotion Service Fee on ad credits. The fourth cost is getting paid out, since redemption fees range from 5% to 14%. Add these up before you scale spend, not after.
Hiring Help for Your Store
A store runs on repeatable tasks like product uploads, customer replies, and order checks. A virtual assistant from OnlineJobs.ph can handle those from a short written guide. Write your standards first, then hand the work over.
For a one-off job such as a logo or banner, a freelancer on Fiverr can save you time. Share access carefully and remove it when the job ends.
Common Pricing Mistakes
The first mistake is judging the offer by the headline price and skipping the fee list. The second mistake is choosing a product only because it is easy to deliver, without checking whether the margin covers your ad costs.
The third mistake is starting before the business exists on paper. If you have not formed your company, read my guide to business formation for high-ticket dropshipping. To file an LLC quickly, Bizee is one option I recommend.
The fourth mistake is never learning how suppliers work. My guide to finding suppliers for high-ticket products shows what a real supplier relationship looks like.
What Customers Say About Sellvia
The SmartCustomer page for Sellvia shows a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 1,061 reviews, with 92% five-star and 4% one-star. I did not verify those counts myself. The recurring praise was quick setup, responsive support, and predictable billing, and the recurring complaints were a learning curve in the dashboard and basic analytics.
A high rating does not answer the pricing question, though. A store can be well liked and still have thin margins for your product, so run your own numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Sellvia cost per month?
The pricing page lists Basic at $39 a month, Advanced at $99, and Ultimate at $299, each with a 14-day free trial. Percentage fees on orders, products, ads, and payouts come on top.
Does Sellvia have a free plan?
No free plan is shown. The page lists a 14-day free trial on all three plans, and billing starts after the trial.
What are Sellvia’s percentage fees?
The page lists a 9% Processing Fee, a 19% Service Fee, a 40 to 60 percent Product Cost Charge on physical products, a 10 to 18 percent Order Service Fee, and a 28% ad fee. It also lists payout and redemption fees from 5% to 14%.
Can I start on the Advanced or Ultimate plan?
Not according to the page. Advanced and Ultimate unlock only after three consecutive months of payment, so you begin on Basic.
Is a done-for-you store cheaper than Sellvia?
Not up front. The build is $4,997 once, while Sellvia Basic is $39 a month, but the build gives you a Shopify store and US supplier relationships you own, with no per-order platform fees from me.
Final Verdict on Sellvia Pricing
Sellvia is a fast, low-cost way to put a store online, and the monthly price is clear. The fee list is long, the products highlighted are low-priced digital items, and several details are not shown, including refund terms and how the fees combine.
If you want a quick, cheap test of ecommerce, the 14-day trial is a reasonable way to look. If you want a business with its own suppliers, higher-priced products, and a store you control, build it on Shopify and sell high-ticket. That is the model I teach and the one my team builds.
