See exactly why enterprise brands are shifting away from rigid SaaS vendors to self-hosted architecture.
SaaS platforms take a percentage of every sale you make. As your revenue scales into the millions, these fees compound exponentially. By self-hosting RC:Storefront, your software costs drop to zero after the initial license.
A store doing $10M/year pays ~$24,000 in base fees plus $15,000+ in external gateway transaction fees (0.15%). That's $39,000/year lost to software overhead.
Everything you need to know about the self-hosted licensing model.
When evaluating an enterprise ecommerce architecture, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a critical metric. Platform fees that scale linearly with your revenue—often referred to as a "success tax"—can severely diminish profit margins as you grow. This is why Zero Transaction Fee Commerce models are becoming the gold standard for high-volume retailers.
Platforms like Shopify Plus charge a baseline fee (often starting at $2,000+ per month) plus additional transaction fees unless you use their proprietary payment gateways. If you process $10 Million annually and face a 0.15% third-party gateway fee, you are paying an additional $15,000 yearly just for the privilege of making sales, on top of software subscriptions.
RC:Storefront provides a one-time perpetual license model. You pay once for the software and deploy it on your own cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean). Your only recurring costs are standard infrastructure hosting and your chosen payment gateway processing fees (e.g., Stripe, Razorpay).
This means whether you process $1 Million or $100 Million, your software costs do not increase. By self-hosting, enterprises frequently see a 100% Return on Investment within the first 6-8 months.
