# Billing

Billing is what **PayNow charges you**. [Payouts](/payments-and-payouts/payouts.md) is what **PayNow pays you**. Two pages, opposite directions.

*Dashboard → Billing → Billing. Needs `billing_manage`.*

## Adding billing details

A new store shows a warning at the top until billing details are provided. Click **Billing Details** in the top right, complete the form, and the warning clears.

## The three sections

| Section                 | What it shows                                                                                                                                                     |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tier Details**        | Your current plan, your usage limit within that tier, and your platform fees. Click **Change Plan** to browse and select a different package.                     |
| **Subscription Status** | The status of your PayNow subscription.                                                                                                                           |
| **Invoices**            | Every invoice PayNow has issued you, for your own bookkeeping. For sales-side records, export from [Transactions](/payments-and-payouts/transactions.md) instead. |

## The plans

Four plans. The higher the plan, the lower the percentage PayNow takes from each sale, so the subscription partly pays for itself as you grow.

| Plan           | Platform fee | Monthly sales limit |
| -------------- | ------------ | ------------------- |
| **Free**       | 3.5%         | Up to $2,000        |
| **Pro**        | 3%           | Up to $5,000        |
| **Business**   | 2.5%         | Unlimited           |
| **Enterprise** | Custom       | Custom              |

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Free and Pro cap your monthly sales.** They are not soft targets. Watch the usage figure in **Tier Details** as you approach the limit, because a store that hits its cap mid-month is a store that stops taking money.
{% endhint %}

Prices are on [paynow.gg/pricing](https://paynow.gg/pricing) and vary with monthly or annual billing, so check there rather than relying on a figure quoted here.

## What each plan adds

Everything in a lower plan is included in the ones above it.

| Plan           | Adds                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Free**       | Full chargeback protection, headless API, custom templates, worldwide payment processing, basic statistics                                    |
| **Pro**        | [Custom domain](/your-webstore/webstore.md), [detailed statistics](/analytics/analytics.md), [affiliate links](/marketing/affiliate-links.md) |
| **Business**   | [Custom checkout branding](/your-webstore/branding.md), [regional pricing](/products/creating-a-product.md#regional-pricing)                  |
| **Enterprise** | Talk to PayNow about what you need                                                                                                            |

The dashboard badges the Business features as *Business Plan Feature* rather than naming the plan.

Anything not named above is in Free.

Detailed statistics add *Popular Times of Day* and *Order Volume By Product*, which tell you when to announce a sale and which price points work. Compare that against your monthly revenue on the [Dashboard](/analytics/dashboard.md) before you switch.

## Platform fees versus your plan

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Your plan and your platform fees are separate charges.** The plan is a recurring charge for the tier. Platform fees are a percentage of each sale, shown per transaction on [Transactions](/payments-and-payouts/transactions.md). A bill that looks higher than expected is usually both.
{% endhint %}

Each tier carries its own platform fee rate, shown next to the tier when you click **Change Plan**, so compare the fee rates as well as the subscription price before you switch.
