Chapter 14

Plans and limits

The free plan is far more generous than people assume, but its limit is unusual. Worth understanding before you create your first program, because that is exactly when it takes effect.

Warning shown by Aster: on the free plan, the program type is locked by the first program created.

One program type only

On the free plan, the type of the first program you create locks the type of every one after it. If you start with a stamp card, you will not be able to create a pass without moving to the Solo plan.

On the other hand, you can create as many programs as you like of that type, and sign up as many customers as you like. There is no limit on numbers.

The question to ask before creating Does my business sell both per item and in packages? A salon selling single cuts and prepaid blocks needs two types, and therefore Solo from the start.

What happens when you change plan

Moving to Solo

The type lock is removed immediately. You can create other program types, and your full statistics become available, including for visits already recorded.

Returning to the free plan

Nothing is deleted. Your existing programs keep working, even if they are of different types. You simply cannot create new ones of another type, and you go back to one promotion per month.

Troubleshooting

What can go wrong

Your free plan is limited to the type "…". Upgrade to Solo to create other program types.

You are trying to create a different type from your first program. Two options: stay on the locked type, or move to Solo. There is no way to unlock the type without changing plan.

Promotions are reserved for the Solo plan

You have used up your monthly promotion on the free plan. The quota resets on the 1st of each month.
