Your plan and usage

Your plan

Your plan sets how many B2B orders you can take a month, how many price lists and sales agents you can have, and which features you get. SparkLayer shows how much you've used this month, so you can see when it's time to change.

Where	What you see
SparkLayer Dashboard: the plan card at the foot of the sidebar	Your plan, a status badge, meters for B2B orders this month, Price lists and Sales agents, and a button such as Compare plans.
Shopify app: Plan in the menu	Opens the plans window.
Home, in both versions	A plan card with the same meters under Your usage this month, and what your plan gives you or what the next one adds.

What the badge means

Badge	What it means
Free	You're on the free Basic plan, with room to spare.
Nearly full	You've used 80% or more of this month's B2B orders, or on Basic, of your 3 price lists.
At limit	On Basic, you've used all of this month's B2B orders or all 3 price lists.
Over limit	On any plan, you've taken more B2B orders this month than your plan includes.
Trial · 5 days left (for example)	You're on a free trial, with the days left.
Active	You're on a paid plan.

What counts as a B2B order

Only orders placed through SparkLayer count towards your allowance. Retail orders through the same store don't count, and test orders from Try it out are marked as tests, so they don't count either. The count starts again each month.

If you go over your allowance

Nothing is blocked. Your buyers keep ordering and SparkLayer keeps working. The plan card changes to Nearly full, then Over limit, and suggests the plan that fits your order pace. Our team may also get in touch to talk about whether another plan would suit you better.

Change your plan

Open the plans window: click the button on your plan card, such as Compare plans, or Plan in the Shopify app's menu.
Choose Starter, Growth or Pro. Each shows its monthly price, B2B orders a month and sales agents. The plan that fits your last 7 days of orders is marked Recommended.
Click Start free trial. On Pro, the button is Change plan.
On Shopify, confirm the change in your Shopify admin. Shopify then bills you monthly. On other platforms, see How you're billed.

To move to a cheaper plan, to the free Basic plan or to cancel, see Billing, trials and cancelling.

Need more than 150 orders a month? Click Talk to us about Enterprise in the plans window. On Enterprise, see your plan and its cost under Plan in the account menu: click your name at the foot of the Dashboard's sidebar.

Free trials

Every paid plan comes with a 14-day free trial. You don't need a card, and you can cancel any time.

Starting a trial switches on that plan's features straight away.
During the trial, the plan card counts down the days left, and features from the plan are marked On your trial.
You don't need to do anything to stay on the plan. When the trial ends, you're billed for the plan you chose, and your reps, invoices and price lists stay exactly as they are. The plan card's Keep Growth button (or your trial's plan) confirms you're staying.

To avoid being billed, change plan or cancel before the trial ends: see Cancel before the trial ends.
