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: $19 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

Your billing tier is determined by the maximum number of products linked during the current billing cycle. The charge will be applied at the end of the cycle and will include:

  • A prorated charge: If you link more products partway through your cycle, the system calculates and adds a prorated charge for the remaining days in the current billing cycle.

  • Billing Tier is Dynamic: The system automatically updates your billing tier at the end of each billing cycle, based on your highest product count during that cycle.

  • Full Access to Features: Regardless of the number of products you link, you’ll always have full access to all Zendrop features. Your billing only affects the number of linked products, not the functionality of the platform.

  • Email Notifications: You'll receive an email whenever you move between billing tiers. This helps keep you updated on any changes to your subscription cost.

Important Note: To easily downgrade your Zendrop usage-based billing plan, just reduce the number of products linked. Keep in mind that your usage count will update in the next billing cycle, so you'll enjoy the new rate soon!

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.

  • Any prorated charges if applicable.

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.
