Guide to usage-based billing for Zendrop subscriptions on Shopify.

Updated over a week ago

When you install the Zendrop app on your Shopify store, you'll be billed based on the number of products you link to Zendrop. This usage-based billing model ensures that you only pay for what you need as your business scales. The more products you link, the higher your tier, but you'll never be charged more than $79 per month.

How the Billing Process Works

Here’s a quick overview of the steps:

  1. When you install Zendrop on Shopify, you’ll be directed to the Shopify billing page.

  2. On the billing page, you’ll review and approve the usage-based subscription plan.

  3. You won't have a recurring flat-rate payment. Instead, you'll be charged according to the number of products linked to Zendrop, with a cap of $79/month.

Billing Tiers for Zendrop Subscriptions

Your subscription fee is determined by how many products you link to Zendrop, and the billing dynamically adjusts based on your usage. Here's how the pricing breaks down:

  • 0 linked products: Free

  • 1 to 20 linked products: $29 per month

  • 21 to 100 linked products: $49 per month

  • 101+ linked products: $79 per month (capped at this rate)

This system ensures you only pay based on your current product links, allowing flexibility as your business grows.

How Billing is Calculated

We want to make billing simple and stress-free for you! Here's how it works:

Risk-Free Trial Period

You have a 3-day risk-free trial to explore the platform and adjust your usage without worrying about immediate charges. During this time, you can:

  • Use the platform without any restrictions.

  • Link and unlink items as much as you like.

  • Enjoy peace of mind knowing no subscription charges will apply until the billing period begins.

Billing After the Trial

Once the trial ends, your tier and billing are based on your actual usage at that time.

Example:
If you linked 100 items during the trial but reduced them to 10 before the billing time, your tier and charges will reflect only the 10 items.

Stay Updated with Email Notifications

To keep you informed, you'll receive an email whenever you move between billing tiers. This ensures you're always aware of any changes to your subscription cost.

Important Note: To easily downgrade your Zendrop usage-based billing plan, just reduce the number of products linked.

How to Track Your Usage and Billing

You can easily monitor your current usage and subscription tier by visiting the Billing Page in your Zendrop account. The page will show:

  • The current number of linked products.

  • The subscription tier you’re in along with other details.

Note: Usage-based billing is available to new users who have never previously connected their Shopify store to Zendrop.

By using Zendrop's usage-based billing, you have the flexibility to grow your business at your own pace without being tied to a flat-rate subscription. Our goal is to make sure you’re only paying for what you use, and never more than $79 per month.
