Quick Answers
How is Synplex priced?
Synplex pricing is based on YOUR store's revenue, not features.
| Annual Revenue | Plan Tier | Price/Month | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to $500K | Starter | $29 | Growing businesses |
| $500K - $2M | Growth | $79 | Established businesses |
| $2M - $5M | Professional | $199 | Large operations |
| $5M+ | Enterprise | Custom | Enterprise-scale |
Key Points
- ✅ All plans include all features (inventory planning, forecasting, PO management, reporting)
- ✅ What differs: Only the revenue limit, not the features
- ✅ Fair pricing: You pay based on your business size

Why revenue-based pricing?
It makes sense because:

Understanding Plan Upgrades
How Plan Upgrades Work
Plan upgrades happen automatically when your business grows, but you must approve the change.
When Your Plan Upgrades
Trigger: Your store's trailing 12-month revenue exceeds your plan limit
Check: System reviews every 3 months after being on platform 3+ months
Requirement: 3-month usage period (ensures revenue is meaningful, not a spike)
Example:
- Current plan: Growth ($500K-$2M limit)
- Your actual revenue: Now $2.3M
- Exceeds limit: Yes ($2.3M > $2M)
- Result: Upgrade available (must approve)
Why 3-Month Requirement?
We only check after 3 months to ensure:
- Revenue data is meaningful (not a temporary spike)
- You're actually using Synplex (not testing)
- Pattern reflects real business usage
What Happens When You Upgrade
Step 1: We Detect the Upgrade Need
System identifies: Which plan tier fits your size
Your action: None yet
Step 2: You Get Notified
In-app message: Appears in dashboard
Email: Notification sent to account email
Message: "Your store has grown! Review new plan"
Step 3: You Review & Approve
Required: You must approve
Time to decide: 14 days
How: Click "Approve" in notification or Shopify billing area
What you see: Current plan vs. new plan comparison
Step 4: Changes Take Effect
Once approved: New plan becomes active immediately
Pricing: Applies to next billing cycle (prorated if needed)
Features: All features remain the same
Important Principles
Synplex NEVER:
❌ Changes your plan without your approval
❌ Charges you without notification
❌ Makes automatic upgrades without consent
❌ Surprises you with bills
You MUST:
✅ Approve any plan changes
✅ Approve through Shopify billing (transparent)
✅ Control the process
✅ Can contact support if you have questions
What If You Don't Take Action?
Timeline
Days 1-13: Normal operation
- Reminders sent
- Support available
- Everything works normally
Day 14: Deadline approaches
- Final reminder sent
- You need to decide
After Day 14: If no action taken
- Your Synplex access may be paused
- Reason: Keeping you compliant with service
- Data still safe (not deleted)
- Can reactivate anytime by approving
How to Prevent Issues
Simple 2-minute process:
- Check your email for plan upgrade messages
- Log into Shopify billing area when prompted
- Click "Approve"
- Done!
Special Cases: Revenue Doesn't Match Your Business
If your 12-month revenue includes:
- One-time sales spike (not ongoing)
- Temporary promotion (won't repeat)
- Unusual period (no longer relevant)
And you believe it misrepresents your business:
You can: Contact support via in-app chat
Explain: The situation
Process: We review case-by-case
Approach: Fair, reasonable, understands business context
Support: Work with you on solutions
Transparency: No need to just accept it
Example:
- You had a viral moment (big spike)
- But it won't happen again (one-time)
- Revenue was $5M that month
- But usually $1M/month
- Tell us: We can review
- Result: May adjust if appropriate
Annual Plans
If you have an annual subscription:
During the year:
- No mid-year upgrades
- Your plan stays the same
- No changes until renewal
- Stability and predictability
At end of annual term:
- Revenue reviewed again
- Appropriate plan offered
- You approve or discuss
- Then updated subscription begins
Clean, simple process.
