Billing & Pricing
LGS Forge uses a straightforward billing model: a flat monthly subscription plus a small usage fee on managed product sales.
How It Works
LGS Forge billing has two components:
- $30/month subscription — a flat monthly fee to use the app
- 1% of managed sales — a usage fee on products synced through LGS Forge
- Transparent pricing — you always know exactly what you're paying
Example
| Scenario | Managed Sales | LGS Forge Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Sell a $5.00 card | $5.00 | $0.05 |
| Sell 10 cards totaling $50.00 | $50.00 | $0.50 |
| Sell a $200 booster box | $200.00 | $2.00 |
| Monthly sales of $5,000 | $5,000.00 | $50.00 |
What Are "Managed Products"?
Products synced through LGS Forge are automatically tagged as managed products using a Shopify metafield ($app:managed_by). When a customer purchases a managed product, the sale is tracked for billing purposes.
Only products created or synced by LGS Forge are considered managed — your other Shopify products are not affected.
Getting Started with Billing
For Shopify App Store Users (Embedded Mode)
Billing is handled directly through Shopify's app billing system:
- When you first use a feature that requires billing, you'll be prompted to approve a usage-based subscription
- Click Approve on the Shopify confirmation page
- Charges appear on your regular Shopify bill
For Standalone Users (SaaS Mode)
- Log in at app.lgsforge.com
- Connect your Shopify store from the Dashboard
- When prompted, approve the billing subscription through Shopify
- You're all set — billing is tracked automatically
New to LGS Forge?
Sign up and connect your store to get started. Your $30/month subscription begins when you approve billing through Shopify.
Billing Cycle
- Fees are calculated and charged daily
- Each billing cycle runs monthly from the date you subscribed
- You can view your current cycle's fees in the app under Billing Status
Viewing Your Billing Status
In the app, you can check:
- Managed Sales Total — Total sales on managed products this cycle
- Fee Accrued — Current usage fees accumulated (1% of managed sales)
- Total Charged — Amount already charged this cycle
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I start getting charged?
You're only charged when customers purchase products that were synced through LGS Forge. If you sync products but nobody buys them, you pay nothing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your billing subscription at any time from your Shopify admin or account settings. Products already in your store will remain, but they will no longer be tracked as managed products.
Is billing the same for all stores?
Each connected Shopify store has its own billing subscription. If you manage multiple stores, each is billed independently based on its own sales.
Where can I see my charges?
- Embedded Mode: Charges appear on your Shopify bill under app charges
- Standalone Mode: View billing status in the LGS Forge dashboard
