Manage your subscription

Your Vunda subscription is billed by Shopify, not by Vunda directly. You subscribe from inside the app when you are ready to publish, and you manage or cancel the plan in your Shopify admin. Building and previewing your app stay free, so you only pay when you decide to ship.

Where billing lives

Vunda uses Shopify's managed pricing. That means the charge rides along on your regular Shopify bill, and Shopify owns the plan-selection, payment and cancellation screens. Vunda never stores a card or charges you on its own.

Subscribe to publish

You can build and preview without a plan. You only need a subscription when you want to publish to the App Store and Google Play.

In Vunda, open the Publish page. If you are not on a plan yet, Vunda shows the message Subscribe to start building your app. next to a Subscribe to publish button, with the reassurance that You can manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apps.

1. Click Subscribe to publish.
2. Vunda sends you to Shopify's hosted pricing page in the top window (it opens out of the embedded app frame, which is expected).
3. Pick your plan and approve the charge.

Once the plan is active you can run a publish from the Publish page.

Reactivate a paused subscription

If your subscription lapses, your live app stays online but new publishing is paused. Vunda shows a banner that begins Publishing is paused because your subscription is not active. and a Reactivate subscription button.

Click Reactivate subscription to return to Shopify's hosted pricing page and approve the charge again. After it is active, you can publish updates as before.

Cancel your subscription

Cancellation happens in your Shopify admin under Settings > Apps, not inside Vunda. This step is owned by Shopify, so the exact screens may differ from what is described here. Verify against their current guide before you rely on it.

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings, then Apps and sales channels.
2. Find Vunda in the list and manage its subscription there.
3. Uninstalling the app also stops future billing cycles.

After you cancel

Your app that is already on the App Store and Google Play does not disappear, but you will not be able to publish new versions until you subscribe again. To start publishing once more, open the Publish page and use Subscribe to publish or Reactivate subscription.
