Transaction Fees
Fortune3 claims to have no transaction fees but that is only if you use Fortune3 as your merchant service. A merchant service is what allows you to accept payment from customers using credit cards. If you use a 3rd party merchant service or payment gateway like PayPal then you have to pay a 1% transaction fee on top of whatever fees your 3rd part merchant service provider has in place. However the 1% transaction fee is waived if you are using Fortune3's Infinity package.Design Features
Each package comes standard with options to help you build you store, but doesn't allow you to post more than a certain number of products. If you plan to post more products to your site, Fortune3 will automatically upgrade your package. Be sure to get accurate pricing for any services you apply to your existing plan. Even though you may expect design features to be standard, many of these will commonly charge more to your bill each month.Packages
Fortune3 packages will only allow you to host 20 products with the Starter package, 50 products with the Basic, 250 products with the Silver, 500 products with the Gold, and 10,000 products with the Platinum. You are only able to post 7 photos for each product you host. Fortune 3 may also be limited when working with other currencies as well.The Bottom Line
