# Monthly charge calculation

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who is this applied for?**

The pricing calculation will apply to users who install the app starting from October 27th, 2025.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Overview

The app calculates the monthly charge for merchants based on their Shopify plan and monthly revenue generated by the app.

#### The charge is determined by two factors:

1. Shopify Plan (Basic / Grow / Unlimited / Plus)
2. Monthly revenue generated by the app

***

### **2. Pricing structure**

The app automatically detects your store's Shopify plan and sets the appropriate price based on it. As a result, when entering the app, each store will have only two options: **Free and Paid** (monthly or yearly).

Here's a breakdown of the pricing structure for each Shopify plan: If your store uses Shopify Unlimited (for example), simply refer to the Shopify Unlimited row, there’s no need to check the details for other plans.

<table><thead><tr><th width="80.80859375">Plan</th><th width="154.625">Shopify Plan</th><th width="91.328125">FixedPrice</th><th width="123.03515625">Revenue threshold</th><th width="124.3828125">Unit Price (per $1,000 over limit)</th><th width="117.14453125">Max cap</th><th width="115.8046875">Trial</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Free</strong></td><td>All plans</td><td>$0</td><td>$500</td><td>–</td><td>–</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Paid</strong></td><td><strong>Shopify Basic</strong></td><td><strong>$19.99</strong></td><td>Unlimited</td><td>–</td><td>–</td><td>7 days</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Paid</strong></td><td><p><strong>Shopify</strong></p><p><strong>Pro/ Grow</strong></p></td><td><strong>$29.99</strong></td><td>Unlimited</td><td>–</td><td>–</td><td>7 days</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Paid</strong></td><td><strong>Shopify Unlimited</strong></td><td><strong>$49.99</strong></td><td>$10,000</td><td>$10</td><td>$200</td><td>7 days</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Paid</strong></td><td><strong>Shopify Plus</strong></td><td><strong>$99.99</strong></td><td>$30,000</td><td>$10</td><td>$300</td><td>7 days</td></tr></tbody></table>

### 3. Total charge calculation

The Total Charge is the sum of:

* **Fixed Price:** The base price for the Shopify plan
* **Usage Fee:** The total value calculated from all **Unit Price charges** applied for every **$1,000 of revenue exceeding the plan’s limit**

Formul&#x61;**:**\
**Total Charge = Fixed Price + Usage Fee**<br>

However, the **Max cap** applies to prevent excessive charges — it limits the **usage fee only**, not the total charge. If the usage fee exceeds the cap, the system automatically limits it to the cap value.

When you enter the app, you'll only see the pre-set price, which is automatically determined by your Shopify plan.&#x20;

Below is an example for Pro/Grow Shopify store with preset price of $29.99 for monthly plan

### 4. Examples

**Example 1: For Unlimited plan (supported revenue quota: $10,000)**

If Revenue = $30,500 ⇒ over quota: $20,500

* Usage fee = (20,500 / 1,000 = 20) × $10 = $200
* Max (cap) = $200
* Total charge = $49.99 + $200 = $249.99. However, the Max cap for Advanced store is $200, so that total charge is only $200

**Example 2: For Shopify plus plan (supported revenue quota: $30,000)**

If Revenue = $50,500 ⇒ over quota: $20,500

* Usage fee = (20,500 / 1,000 = 20) × $10 = $200
* Max (cap) = $300
* Total charge = $99.99 + $200 = $299.99.

### **5. For Yearly Subscription**

For customers with a yearly plan and unlimited revenue, the usage fee will be waived, and only the fixed price applies.

### 6. Other information

When upgrading to paid Monthly plan, you can see a card which displays details of charge including:

* The revenue by app which your store has made
* The total billing in current cycle
* The cycle period of time
