Plans give you control over how you pay for Shopstar. The Commission Only plan has no monthly fee and charges 6% per transaction. The Subscription plan swaps most of that for a monthly fee plus a lower 2% per-transaction cut — it pays off at higher volumes. You can switch between them at any time.

Confirm the switch
A short confirmation appears. Once you accept, your billing model is updated immediately and you will see a toast confirming the change.
Subscription starts with a trial
When you switch to Subscription, your billing trial activates first — meaning you get a window to try it before charges kick in. If you decide it is not for you, switching back to Commission Only is a single click.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose features when I downgrade?
If a feature is only on a higher plan, you lose access when you downgrade. Your data stays safe — it is just hidden until you upgrade again.
How much does each plan charge per sale?
Commission Only is 6% per transaction with no monthly fee. Subscription is 2% per transaction plus a monthly fee. The break-even point depends on your store volume — the Billing page shows it for your account.
Can I switch back to Commission Only later?
Yes. Click the Commission Only card from the Billing Model section at any time. Your data stays safe — any features that are only on the Subscription plan become hidden until you switch back.
