• Click here to know more about how plugins affect your subscription amount.

Once you have reviewed your order summary in the Order Summary tab, click on Confirm & Pay button in the Cart Detail section. 

The amount payable NOW  is calculated based on the number of days from the plugin activation date(today) to the next billing date of your Tagrain subscription. This means that if you activate a plugin somewhere in between your billing cycle, the application will prorate the “amount payable now” from today to the start of the next billing cycle. 

Please note that the number of stores in your setup affects the overall plugin pricing. 

This is explained with an example below. 

• Let's say your setup has 2 stores and 2 POS

• You are on an Annual Billing Cycle 1st Jan - 31st Dec

• On 5th April You want to activate a plugin whose annual price per store is $5.99

The prorated amount for this plugin for two stores will be:

(Total plugin price / 365) X number of days left to you next billing date

• The total plugin price will be 2 X 5.99 X 12 = 143.76 (because there are 2 stores)

• Number of days left till the end of the billing cycle will be 31st Dec - 5th Apr = 271 (both days included)

• The amount you need to Pay Now will be (143.76 / 365) X 271 = 106.74
