How Billing Works
Free trial: New accounts get 14 days on the Business plan. No payment needed. When the trial ends, choose a paid plan to keep working. If you don't subscribe, the account enters a short grace period with reminders, then access is restricted until you pick a plan — your data is never deleted, and you can always export it.
Payment: Subscriptions are billed monthly via Paystack. We accept debit/credit cards and M-Pesa. You'll be redirected to Paystack's secure checkout page.
Upgrades: Take effect immediately. You get instant access to all features in the new plan.
After payment: You receive a payment confirmation email with receipt details and (if upgrading) a welcome-to-new-plan email with a list of unlocked features.
Usage Limits & Enforcement
Each plan has limits on products, users, warehouses, branches, and monthly invoices. StockPulse checks these limits in real-time:
- When you try to add a product beyond your limit, you'll see an upgrade prompt
- Monthly invoice counters reset on the 1st of each month
- Feature-gated items (commissions, multi-warehouse) are hidden from navigation if not in your plan
Check your current usage at Settings → Billing.

StockPulse occasionally offers discount codes that reduce your subscription cost. If you have a coupon code, you can apply it on the billing page.
How to apply a coupon:

- Enter your coupon code and click Apply
- The discount is validated instantly — you'll see the discount details if valid
- The discount is applied at Paystack checkout when you next subscribe or renew
Coupon types:
- Percentage off: Reduces your subscription price by a percentage (e.g., 20% off)
- Fixed amount: Reduces your subscription price by a fixed KES amount (e.g., KES 1,000 off)
