Plans and Limits ​

Every plan includes the whole product: quoting, production, artwork approvals, the customer portal, stores and campaigns, the kiosk, time tracking, job costing and commission. Plans differ on capacity (staff seats and open orders) and on five capabilities: Demi, SMS, live supplier sync, the REST API and outbound webhooks.

An open order is one that has not reached Dispatched or Cancelled. Finished work never counts, so a shop with a 100 order cap can hold thousands of jobs in its history.

Included, Gated and Planned ​

The plan table is not the whole story. Some capabilities need something beyond the plan before they work, and two are not built yet.

How the Limits Behave ​

Limits are checked at the moment of the action, and every refusal names the plan that lifts it.

  • Inviting a teammate past the seat cap is refused on save. Reactivating a deactivated teammate takes a seat and runs the same check.
  • Accepting a quote, a kiosk order or an order through the API past the open order cap is refused.
  • On a plan without SMS, texts are not sent and the dispatch records why.
  • On a plan without API access, no token can be issued. On a plan without webhooks, no subscriber can be created, and after a downgrade existing subscribers stay saved while deliveries stop.
  • On a plan without live supplier sync, the sync is skipped with the reason in the log.

Trials ​

A new signup gets 14 days on the plan it chose, with a card held and not charged. The Billing page shows the trial end date and the days left. The first payment is taken when the trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing.

Failed Payments ​

A failed payment starts a 7 day grace period. A banner across the workspace says the payment failed and asks you to update your card, with a link to the Stripe portal. Fix the card inside the grace period and nothing changes.

If the grace period runs out, the workspace drops to Free with every record intact: customers, orders, invoices, artwork and history all stay. One email tells you. Billing then shows Start subscription, which runs a Stripe Checkout against your existing customer record, with no second trial, and restores the plan you were on. A failed payment never deletes anything.

Cancelling and the Deletion Window ​

Only an explicit cancellation starts the deletion clock: you cancel in the Stripe portal from Billing, or an owner presses Close this workspace on a workspace with no running subscription and types the workspace address to confirm. From then the workspace is read-only for 30 days so you can export your data or restart from Billing, and after those 30 days every record is permanently deleted, apart from records the law requires to be kept. The terms and the privacy policy state the same rule.

Changing Plan ​

Insight, then Billing. With a running subscription, Manage card and invoices opens Stripe's hosted portal, and each plan card offers Switch to that plan through the same portal. Without one, each card offers Start on that plan.

Pick on seats first, then on the API

Most shops sit on Starter or Premium, and the deciding factor is usually how many people need a login. If you need to push orders into another system or receive webhooks, you need Premium or above.
