Why Ordinary is billed monthly only
Ordinary's paid plans are billed monthly only. There's no annual plan and no annual discount, because pricing scales with your store's revenue.

Ordinary’s paid plans are billed monthly only. There’s no annual plan, and no annual discount.
Do you offer annual billing?
No. Every paid plan is a single monthly charge.
The reason is simple: your plan price scales with your store’s revenue. Bigger stores pay more; smaller stores pay less. That kind of usage-based pricing is billed monthly — Shopify charges it on your regular monthly Shopify bill — so there’s no annual option to choose and no “pay yearly to save” discount.
What you’re charged
- One monthly charge per paid plan.
- The amount reflects the revenue tier your store is currently in. As your store grows into a higher tier, the monthly price moves up to match; if it settles back down, so does the price.
- Free is always $0/mo.
See Understanding your plan for the full plan ladder and Understanding your GMV tier for how the revenue tiers work.
Cancellation
You can cancel any time: go to Settings → Billing & Plan, click Change plan, and cancel on Shopify’s plan page.
- You keep access until the end of the billing cycle you’ve paid for. Uninstalling the app works the same way.
- No further charges after that.
- Switching to a lower paid plan instead is not a cancellation: it takes effect right away, and Shopify credits the unused difference to your bill. See Upgrading your plan.
- Your historical data and integrations stay intact, and reappear if you upgrade again later.
