Understand Switchboard modular pay-as-you-go billing, subscription pricing, free trial, and usage caps via the Shopify Billing API.
Switchboard uses a modular billing model designed to ensure you only pay for the specific features you use. All charges are processed securely via the Shopify Billing API.
Core Pricing Structure
- 7-Day Free Trial: Full access to all feature toggles at no cost for the first week.
- Base Subscription: $1.00/month. This includes full access to the Switchboard dashboard and your first active feature toggle.
- Modular Toggles: $1.00/month per additional active feature.
Usage Billing Logic
Switchboard scales with your needs. You can activate or deactivate features instantly from your dashboard.
Billing Terms
- Activation Policy: Activating a feature toggle triggers a $1.00 usage charge for the current 30-day billing cycle.
- Cancellations: If a feature toggle is deactivated, the $1.00 charge for that cycle remains non-refundable. The charge will be removed for all subsequent billing cycles.
- Usage Cap: During installation, you will be asked to approve a usage cap of $10.00. This is a safety limit required by Shopify to authorize potential feature activations; you will only ever be billed $1.00 per active toggle.
- Cancellation: Uninstalling the app immediately cancels the base subscription and all associated usage charges for future cycles.
