Billing API capped amount for free plan

Retired Boards Appdev Billing
1

Hi everyone,

we’ve got 4 plan and one of those is free.

while calling the billing api it seems impossible to set a price of 0$ without a capped amount (a minimum of .5$).

this doesn’t make sense to me, i’ve seen other apps with a free plan and other paid plans without these strange behavior.

what’s the flow to create a free plan and some paid plans without using the capped amount?

thanks

Hey @mrcnee

If they’re select the free plan, you could skip the recurringApplicationCharge all together.

If they select a paid plan, create a recurringApplicationCharge with the plan name and price:

{
  "recurring_application_charge": {
    "name": "Super Duper Plan",
    "price": 10.0,
    "return_url": "http://super-duper.shopifyapps.com"
  }
}

Hi, how can you show that a merchant can switch from a paid plan back to the free plan? I guess this must be done by cancelling the charge? https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-01/resources/recurringapplicationcharge#delete-recurring-application-charges-recurring-application-charge-id
