Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature, unlimited users, no monthly fees. We only charge 1.5% on online payments processed through our integrated Stripe checkout.
What about Stripe's fees?
Stripe charges their standard processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) which go directly to Stripe. Our 1.5% platform fee is separate and on top of that.
What if I don't use online payments?
Then HeavyBase is completely free for you. Cash, check, and in-person card payments through your own terminal have zero platform fees.
Are there any hidden fees?
No setup fees, no per-user fees, no feature gates, no contracts. Just the 1.5% on online payments when you choose to use that feature.
