Merchants will be able to use the entire Shopmatic platform for setting up their ecommerce presence without paying any sign-up charges.

International e-commerce enabler Shopmatic is offering zero hosting charges to anyone signing up between 3rd June and 31st August 2021.

For 90 days from the time they sign up,  business owners will be able to access Shopmatic’s vast range of tech-led features to help them grow their business while  paying only 3% on each successful transaction.
