Choosing a Plan
Pricing is matched to your Shopify account plan — no feature-gating between tiers. All plans include every feature.
| Your Shopify Plan | Monthly Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 19/month |
Includes a 14-day free trial — no credit card required to start. Cancel any time. |
| Shopify (Grow) | 49/month |
Includes a 14-day free trial — no credit card required to start. Cancel any time. |
| Advanced | 99/month |
Includes a 14-day free trial — no credit card required to start. Cancel any time. |
| Shopify Plus | 249/month |
Includes a 14-day free trial — no credit card required to start. Cancel any time. |
dashboardSMASHBOARD detects your Shopify plan automatically — you don't need to pick a tier. The free trial gives you full access to every feature for 14 days. Your card is only charged after the trial ends if you choose to continue.
Permissions the App Needs
dashboardSMASHBOARD requests read-only access to the following Shopify data:
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| Read orders and reports | Revenue, order counts, AOV, items sold, and session metrics |
| Read inventory | Inventory Health card — low-stock and critical-stock counts |
| Read products | Product names for Top Products breakdowns |
| Read customers | Customer cohort analysis |
dashboardSMASHBOARD never modifies your store data — all access is read-only, enforced at the Shopify API level.
Shopify staff permission required: The Shopify staff account used to install the app needs the Manage and install apps and channels permission. Ask the store owner to enable it under Settings → Users and permissions if you see a permission error on install.
