Pricing

Our pricing is maintained on our Shopify App Store listing where you can find full details of our subscription plans. All pricing is billed in USD, with a 7‑day free trial available, and additional monthly usage charges apply on each plan.

Visit our App Store listing for the latest details on our subscription and pricing plans.

Subscription Plans that provide Platform Access

  • Shopwaive Starter: $15/month Includes: Balances & Profiles, Offers & Expirations, Loyalty & Rewards Program.

  • Shopwaive Pro: $45/month Includes Starter features, plus: Export Transactions, Give Shipping Credits, Design Editor.

  • Shopwaive Checkout: $60/month Includes Pro features, plus: Checkout Extensions & Upsells, Shopify Flow Email & AI Tools, API & B2B Checkout.

Usage fees

The monthly subscription plans above provide access to the platform and do not include usage. Additional usage charges apply. Account usage is $0.75 per Shopwaive customer for the first 4,000 customers, and $0.00 after that (i.e. 1M+ customers will cost the same as 4,000 customers). Account usage only applies to the number of Shopwaive customers which may be less than your total Shopify customers, as a Shopwaive customer is only created when an API request or deposit is made for a Shopify customer. An additional $1,499 minimum semi-monthly usage charge applies to brands that use B2B Checkout, Multi-currency conversion, Shopify POS Invoicing or Enterprise features designed exclusively for Shopify Plus. A total monthly capped usage cost of $2,998 USD is in place for all subscription plans. If you use all Enterprise features and have more than 4,000 customer accounts, your usage charges never exceed this cap. The cap applies to usage, not to the plan's monthly fee. Beginning services with Shopwaive and/or purchasing a subscription plan through our listing and Shopify Billing requires you to consent and adhere to our Terms and Conditions provided at https://www.shopwaive.com/terms-conditions

Example cost calculation for the Pro plan: 100 customer accounts * $0.75 USD + $45 platform access = $120 USD per month

Example cost calculation for the Starter plan: 1,000 customer accounts * $0.75 USD + $15 platform access = $765 USD per month

Example cost calculation for the Checkout plan plus all Enterprise features including B2B Checkout, Multi-currency, and Shopify POS Invoicing: 800,000 customer accounts * $0.75 USD + $60 platform access. However, total usage costs are capped at $2,998 USD per month for each domain, so the total cost in this scenario is $2,998 USD usage + $60 platform access = $3,058 USD per month.

Get started with these steps

Step 1 (Optional): Turn on the popup (on Shopify Plus? Skip this step)

If you are using Shopwaive on Shopify, you are not on Shopify Plus, and you do not have access to our Checkout extensions, then this step is for you. After installing the app, go to Online Store in the Shopify admin and click Edit theme on the theme you use. Click the App embeds icon in the sidebar, turn on Popup and click Save.

If your theme does not support Shopify's Theme app extensions or app embeds, contact our team and we can provide integration support to get you setup in minutes.

Step 2 (Optional): Shopify Plus Checkout Extensions (not on Shopify Plus? Skip this step)

Shopify Plus brands can add the Redeem and Upsells extensions at checkout to unlock powerful checkout features that increase AOV and provide a seamless one-click redemption experience. Using the Redeem extension, you'll get to choose from Balance, Loyalty, and Offers solutions.

Step 3 (Optional): Add other app blocks

Shopwaive has an Account block for each version of Shopify customer accounts:

  • Customer accounts: add the Account block to the Profile page in Shopify's checkout and accounts editor (in the Shopify admin, Settings > Checkout). It shows the customer's balance, offers and recent redemptions.

  • Legacy customer accounts: add the Account app block in the theme editor. It shows the customer's balance and transaction history.

See App blocks.

Step 4: Enable customer accounts

Customers must sign in to see and redeem their balance in your online store. In the Shopify admin, go to Settings > Customer accounts, turn on Show sign-in links and click Save. See Shopify's guide to managing customer accounts.

Step 5 (Optional): Setup branded email

Follow Setup branded email to send email from your own domain and meet Google and Yahoo's sender requirements. In the app, this setting can be switched on only by a store on the Shopwaive Checkout plan that is also on Shopify Plus.

Add your root and subdomains

Open Shopwaive and go to Settings > Email. In the Notifications section, tick the checkbox, enter your Root domain and Sending subdomain, click Save, then click Generate DNS records. The full steps are in Setup branded email.

Shopify POS

If you're using Shopify POS in a brick-and-mortar shop and would like to use Shopwaive for customer credit accounting for in-store purchases, see Shopify POS Credit. If you prefer to allow customers to charge to a NET 30 account, see Shopify POS Invoicing.
