We charged a flat fee of $300/month for big stores.

Elsewhere it says Viaweb had 1050 customers. So does this mean Viaweb had < $3.8m / yr in revenue when it was sold ?

Small stores were $100/month and there were more of those. We made $144/store/month on average.

Doubtful. A small store was $100/mo and probably made up the bulk. Wouldn't be surprising if some of those 1050 weren't paying for whatever reasons. Still, they clearly built a good business.
