Account & billing

Your subscription: trial, upgrading, canceling

How the 7-day trial works, changing plans, canceling, and what happens after.

4 min read

Ecom Forward uses a straightforward model: 7-day trial with card up front, cancel anytime during trial, no refunds on paid months. Here's how every flow works.

The 7-day free trial

  • Card required at signup.
  • Not charged for 7 days.
  • Cancel anytime during the trial from Account → Subscription — never charged.
  • On day 8, if you haven't canceled, the first charge hits.
  • After the trial, monthly or annual auto-renewal continues until you cancel.

Note

If you installed Ecom Forward from the Shopify App Store, your plan is billed through Shopify (it appears on your Shopify invoice) instead of by card. Everything below about trials, plans, and canceling still applies — you just manage it from your Shopify admin, and the Manage subscription button on your Account page takes you there.

Upgrading or downgrading

  1. Go to Account → Subscription.
  2. Click Manage subscription. You're redirected to Stripe's Customer Portal.
  3. Pick a different tier (Captain / Crew / Fleet) or billing cycle (monthly / annual).
  4. Confirm. Stripe prorates the difference and applies it to your next invoice.

Tip

Annual billing is ~20% cheaper than monthly. If you're confident you'll stay long-term, switch to annual and save ~$150-$700/year depending on tier.

Canceling a paid subscription

  1. Account → Manage subscription → Cancel.
  2. The subscription is marked “canceling.” You keep full access until the end of the current billing period.
  3. After that date, access is read-only (you can still export data but not edit or invite).
  4. Reactivate anytime before the end date via Manage subscription.

Refund policy

No refunds on paid months. The 7-day trial is how you evaluate the product — use it fully. If something breaks on our end that prevents you from using the platform for a meaningful part of the month, email info@ecomforward.io and we'll work it out.

Failed payments

If a payment fails (expired card, insufficient funds), Stripe retries over 3 weeks. During that time your account shows a red Past due banner and you keep access. After 3 weeks of failures, the subscription is canceled and access goes read-only.

Custom Enterprise

For operators running 10+ stores, we offer Custom Enterprise with custom limits, invoicing, a dedicated account manager, and custom onboarding. Starts at ~$599/mo. Email info@ecomforward.io.
