5%, not 9%
On a free plan, you keep $40 more on every $1,000 sold.
ScaleEdges vs Beacons
Almost half the fee on the free plan.
Beacons takes 9% of every sale on its free plan. ScaleEdges takes 5%, gives you a full store instead of a link page, and an AI that acts on it with you.
Coming from Beacons? 0% fees for your first 3 months, plus 30 days of Grow free. No card needed.
A full store
Catalog, cart, customer library, blog and checkout builder, on your domain.
AI that acts
Lumia does not just write: it creates products, coupons, upsells and pages. You check the preview, it applies the change.
