In this article
Short answer: on Elmatajer an online store in Egypt costs nothing for 14 days (free trial), then EGP 299 a month or EGP 2,990 a year on the Growth plan, with no commission on your sales. Design can be free with the free template, the link and SSL are free, and your own domain is optional.
“How much does an online store cost?” is one of the first questions before anyone starts selling online. The answer depends on three things: the platform subscription, the design, and a domain if you want your own. This guide lays out every cost in Egyptian pounds on Elmatajer, with no surprises.
Can I create an online store for free?
You can start free: every new store gets a 14-day free trial with no credit card, to set up the store and take real orders. The free plan is not forever, though: after 14 days the store locks until you subscribe to a paid plan.
Monthly plan prices
| Plan | Monthly price | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Free (14-day trial) | Trying it out and setting up |
| Growth | EGP 299 | A store that is starting to sell, team of up to 3 |
| Advanced | EGP 599 | A complete store, team of up to 10 |
| Professional | EGP 799 | Large stores and agencies |
Paying yearly saves money: Growth EGP 2,990 a year, Advanced 5,990, Professional 7,990. Current prices and the full comparison are always on the pricing page.
What differs between plans?
Every plan can sell: products and orders, cash on delivery, local delivery and a free store link. The difference is in usage limits and extra tools, such as:
- Team members: 3 on Growth, 10 on Advanced, unlimited on Professional (and 10 during the trial).
- On every plan: basic SEO tools, WhatsApp, coupons, ad pixels, a multi-language store, the AI assistant and moving your store from another platform.
- On Growth: the blog, smart offers, sales notifications and the view counter.
- On Advanced: also abandoned carts, the cart countdown and progress bar, pixel and shipping reports, advanced SEO, and one premium template of your choice free.
- On Professional: also every template, priority support and an unlimited team.
Any tool that is not in your plan can be bought on its own as a monthly add-on, from EGP 35.
A detailed comparison: subscription plans compared.
Commission on sales?
No. Elmatajer takes no percentage of your sales. You pay the plan subscription only.
Other costs you may need
- Template (design): there is a free template. Paid templates are a one-time purchase, priced EGP 249 or 499 at the time of writing — Advanced includes one premium template of your choice, and Professional includes them all. Preview each one live in the template gallery before buying.
- Domain: the
your-store.elmatajer.comlink is free. For your own domain (likemystore.com), buy it from any domain registrar and pay them; connecting it to your store is free and includes a free SSL certificate. - Delivery: you set the delivery fee per area yourself, so the customer pays it, or you offer free delivery above an order amount.
Example: a small store starting out
A merchant starts with the free template and free link, then subscribes to Growth after the trial: EGP 299 a month, or EGP 2,990 a year paid yearly — with no commission on any order.
