Can i have a Square web page and not have to pay $29.95 per month for the (buy now option)?

[fltrker27]

I had my own web page that a friend set up- for my watercolor art. but it was WAAYY too hard to post new art works. It changed every 3-5 months and way past my pay level. Im 73 yrs old.

So I saw that square had a buy now button option so I spent 3 weeks putting my 150 art works on the square site where people that looked at it had an option to push a button and buy an item.  I only sold 4-5 items and still that was too my friends. at Christmas time. so I paid Square $29.95 a month to have that option. It didnt pay off and I asked my friend to put it back up on his site.  But I had made so many new catagories and options that it did not transfer well. So it is up but a mess.   Can I get back on square where I can manage my site without paying $30. per month?? At least I can manage the site on square. I can not on my friends site. 

Thanks for any replys. Actually I still have an account w square but it is the $30. a month thingy.

HI, you do not need to have a Paid Plan to use the Online Store.  You can use the Free Plan as long as you need to and then if you need to upgrade as your business grows then they have options available.

Best advice is to log into your Online Dashboard and work with the Editor.  It is very easy and can create a beautiful website.  Click around and see what each option, section, page has to offer.  You can not "break" anything and you can preview everything you do.  You can add sections, pages, galleries, stories, etc.  All are on the Free Plan.

I am including some Square Support pages for you to read and see videos on how to set everything up.
