Introduction

Once you have enjoyed and evaluated the trial version of Tagrain, you can switch to either Tagrain COMMUNITY or Tagrain ENTERPRISE. See: Subscribe To Tagrain. There is a subtle difference between the two editions. COMMUNITY Edition being lighter is best suited for single STORE single POS retailers, whereas ENTERPRISE edition offers multi store support and other important features required for larger operations. Both editions come in two payment options – Monthly Payment Plan OR on an Annual Payment Plan. There is a significant difference between the two when it comes to pricing. See: Tagrain Pricing. 

Tagrain COMMUNITY to Tagrain ENTERPRISE

In this section, we will focus on how to switch from Tagrain COMMUNITY to Tagrain ENTERPRISE.

Some Key Points to Remember about Tagrain editions

The COMMUNITY edition is free for life whereas the ENTERPRISE edition is a paid version. 

The COMMUNITY edition restricts the user to One Store and One POS setup whereas the ENTERPRISE edition does not. 

A community edition that has not been used / transacted upon for 60 days will be deleted.

You can switch from COMMUNITY edition to ENTERPRISE edition but not from an ENTERPRISE edition to a COMMUNITY edition. 

You don’t have to pay anything for a COMMUNITY edition whereas you have to pay for the ENTERPRISE edition based on the number of POS terminals (stores are free) and the subscribed plugin(s)

Steps to switch from Tagrain COMMUNITY to Tagrain ENTERPRISE

Step 1. Click on your "Profile Picture" in the Top Menu Bar, then go to "Manage Account". This will bring up the Tagrain “Subscription” page. You will notice that under Subscription Information it says COMMUNITY as the Edition.

Should you change your mind, you always have the option to click on Stay on Community, which will roll back all the selections and revert you to the Community Edition. However, clicking on Buy Enterprise will take you to the payment page to complete the payment process.
