- What does it cost to use Volmeris right now?
- Nothing. Volmeris is in public beta, and every account has full access while we build. There is no billing in the product yet — we cannot charge you today even if you wanted us to, and we ask for no card to sign up.
- So are the prices above real?
- They're the plans we intend to launch, published early so you can judge whether Volmeris is worth building on. Treat them as our current intent rather than a price list: nothing is billed until plans actually launch, and we'd rather show you the direction now than surprise you later.
- Are the plan limits enforced during beta?
- No. The storefront, product, and order numbers above describe the plans we're designing, not caps running in the product today. Build what you need during beta.
- What happens to my stores when paid plans launch?
- Nothing switches off without warning. We'll email every beta account well ahead of launch with the final plans, what your usage maps to, and a window to choose. Your storefronts, products, and orders stay yours throughout — no lockout, no held data.
- What does founding-member pricing mean?
- Accounts that sign up during the beta get a permanent discount on whichever paid plan they choose at launch, for as long as they keep that subscription. Signing up now costs nothing and is the only way to qualify.
- Will the Free plan still exist after launch?
- Yes — and that's a deliberate promise, not a beta perk we plan to quietly withdraw. There will always be a genuinely free tier you can run a real store on without a card. It stays free with no time limit; it isn't a trial that expires.
- What does the "soon" label on a feature mean?
- That the feature is planned but not built yet, so it isn't available to anyone today, on any tier. Everything without that label is live in the product right now and you can use it during beta.
- Do merchants need their own Stripe account?
- No. Your stores transact through the Stripe account you connect to Volmeris. Connect one once and every new store defaults to reusing it — you confirm the choice in the setup wizard rather than re-entering keys.
