Plans and feature gating
Every store on Checkout Commander is on a plan. The plan controls two things: which features you can use, and how many operations you can have.
The plans
Section titled “The plans”| Plan | Price (monthly / annual) | Operation limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | Free | 10 | Only available on development stores. |
| Shopify Partner | Free | 10 | Only available on partner stores. |
| Basic | $2.99 / $29.99 | 1 | All operation kinds. No localization. |
| Advanced | $5.99 / $59.99 | 3 | Adds Lowest and Highest modes for shipping hide. |
| Pro | $9.99 / $99.99 | 10 | Adds localization (multi-locale rename). |
The Developer and Shopify Partner plans are not selectable from the app — they’re assigned automatically based on the store type. To use a paid plan, your store needs to be a real, non-development Shopify store.
Features by plan
Section titled “Features by plan”The full feature matrix is:
| Feature | Developer | Partner | Basic | Advanced | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shipping hide, rename, sort | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Payment hide, rename, sort | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Shipping hide Lowest / Highest modes | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Multi-locale rename (localization) | ✓ | ✓ | — | — | ✓ |
A “—” means the feature is not available on that plan. If you select a feature the plan doesn’t include, the form either greys out the option or shows an “Upgrade to X plan” hint.
Operations limit
Section titled “Operations limit”Every plan has a maximum number of operations you can have at once. The count is the total of all operation kinds (hide + rename + sort, shipping + payment) on your store — not per kind. See Operations limit for how the limit is enforced and what happens when you hit it.
How feature gating shows in the app
Section titled “How feature gating shows in the app”The app uses your current plan to decide what UI to show:
- Features not on your plan appear as upgrade hints. For example, the shipping hide form shows an “Upgrade to Advanced plan for additional operation modes” hint next to the Lowest and Highest mode options.
- The rename form shows an “Upgrade to Advanced plan to add multiple translations per rate” hint under the translation controls (when the plan only allows one translation per rate).
- The home dashboard shows your current plan and operation usage; clicking Manage plan lets you change plans.
The gate is enforced on the server, so the hint is just a UI nicety — you can’t save an operation that uses a feature your plan doesn’t include.
Plan changes
Section titled “Plan changes”Plan changes are handled through Shopify App Subscriptions. See Managing your plan for the upgrade, downgrade, and cancel flow, and Plan and billing for what happens when a plan expires.
