# Trial & Billing
* You get a **7-day free trial** when you install the app.
* You only need to pay on the **Destination** store (not the Source store).
* Pricing is based on the total number of variants in the Destination store.
* After the trial ends, you must select a plan to keep syncing.
***
### ⏳ 7-day trial & countdown on Dashboard
When you install the app, you will automatically start a **free trial period**. During this time, you can explore all features included in your selected plan without being charged.
You will not be billed during the active trial period.
On the **Dashboard**, you’ll see:
* **Trial status** (Trial / Days left / Trial ended)
* A **countdown bar** so you know exactly how many days remain
**When the trial ends**
* The dashboard shows **“Trial ended”**
* You’ll be prompted to **Upgrade / Select a plan**
* Sync will not continue until a plan is selected

### ✅ Choosing a Plan
Before your trial expires, you should choose a suitable subscription plan to continue using the app without interruption.
> **Important:** Please select a plan *before* the trial period ends.\
> The remaining trial time will still be counted after you choose a plan.
For example, if you install the app and receive a 7-day trial, then select a paid plan on Day 4, the remaining 3 trial days will still apply. You will only be charged after the full trial period has ended.
This ensures you continue using the app smoothly and avoids any confusion about when billing begins.
#### What Happens If No Plan Is Selected?
If you do not select a paid plan before the trial expires:
* The app may stop functioning or become limited.
* You may need to choose a plan to regain full access.
To avoid service disruption, we strongly recommend choosing your plan during the active trial period.

#### Which store pays?
You only subscribe on the **Destination store**.
* **Destination store:** choose a plan and pay here
* **Source store:** no payment needed
This makes setup simpler when you connect multiple stores.

### 💰 How plans are calculated (Variants-based)
Your subscription plan is based on the total number of product variants in the Destination store, not only the products you sync.
**Why we use total variants**\
Even if you sync only some products, the app still needs to:
* monitor product changes/events in the store
* process updates reliably
* keep syncing accurate and fast
That’s why the plan is tied to store size (total variants).
**Example**\
If your Destination store has **7242 variants**, you should select the plan that supports up to **10000 variants** (for example, the $29.00/month plan if that tier covers it).
