Pricing
Simple early-access pricing while MakeQ tightens v1.
MakeQ is still in the focused v1 stage, so pricing should stay easy to understand: one serious plan, optional onboarding help, and direct contact for pilot merchants.
Recommended now
Pilot plan
Keep it simple while scope is tight.
Charge one clear monthly amount once onboarding is clean. Avoid tier sprawl until the production planning workflow is stable across a few real merchants.
Onboarding
Guided setup
Make setup part of the offer.
Early merchants will need help mapping products, materials, and process structure. That support is part of the product story, not an afterthought.
Public copy
No fake tiers
Serious business, low complexity.
If pricing is not final, say that clearly and invite merchants to contact MakeQ for pilot availability instead of publishing placeholder tiers you do not believe in.
Recommended public pricing structure
For now, present one clear offer: early-access production planning for makers with Shopify-connected demand visibility. Add plan tiers later only when they map to real usage differences.
- Single plan or “contact us for pilot pricing” is better than invented packaging.
- Call out what is included: setup help, Shopify connection, and production planning workflows.
- Keep public pricing separate from internal infra costs like Railway or Shopify partner setup.
- When billing ownership is finalized in Phase 0, use MakeQ billing contacts everywhere.
