Frequently Asked Questions
What are transaction fees, and when are they charged?
Transaction fees apply to the entire Shopify order total, including shipping and taxes, when at least one subscription item is present. This includes both one-time and subscription products in the order. Transaction fees do not apply to Shopify orders containing only one-time products.
Note: All PayWhirl fees, including transaction fees, are added to your monthly bill in Shopify. Our app fees are separate from any fees charged by Shopify or by your gateway on transactions.
Is the free tier really free?
Yes, for your first $5000 in subscription orders, there are absolutely no PayWhirl fees. After hitting the $5000 threshold, the normal rate of 3% will apply to all subscription orders. This free processing only applies to the first $5000 in processing and does NOT reset.
Can I get the free processing on the paid plans?
Unfortunately not. The free processing is limited to the free tier only and is intended to allow new merchants to trial the benefits of PayWhirl without any cost.
Can I change plans or cancel anytime?
Yes! You can change pricing plans or cancel at any time. If your business increases, you can upgrade to reduce your transaction fees. Shopify will also pro-rate billing adjustments if you change plans, so you won't be charged the new plan's full rate until your next billing cycle is generated.
What are usage caps, and how do they work?
Usage caps are required by Shopify and should be set based on your anticipated monthly sales volume. You choose a usage cap when you select a plan in the app. Exceeding your usage cap may disrupt your subscription billing, so we suggest leaving room for growth. Remember, usage caps can be adjusted anytime from the app settings page.
Please let us know if you have any questions, we're happy to help!
Sincerely,
The PayWhirl Team
