Billing clarification

Shopify app charges use Shopify Billing API

Dropship Supply uses Shopify Billing API for all recurring app subscription charges. Merchants choose one of the available monthly app plans inside the embedded Shopify app, and each plan selection opens a Shopify-hosted approval flow created with appSubscriptionCreate.

App subscription

Charged by Shopify

  • Starter, Basic, Premium, and Full app plans are charged through Shopify Billing API.
  • The app verifies an active Shopify subscription before enabling product imports.
  • Plan upgrades, downgrades, and cancellation are handled inside the app through Shopify Billing API.
  • No PayPal checkout is used for app access, app subscriptions, app feature fees, or recurring app charges.
Fulfillment payment

Paid only after a customer order

PayPal is used only after a merchant receives a customer order and requests fulfillment. This payment is not an app charge. It covers the physical fulfillment transaction: product cost, delivery, payment processing, and fulfillment handling for the specific order.

  • The merchant initiates the PayPal checkout from an individual fulfillment request.
  • The order is sent to the fulfillment partner only after payment authorization and stock confirmation.
  • If the fulfillment partner cannot accept the order, the PayPal authorization is voided and the fulfillment request is cancelled.

Why this is separate from app billing

Dropship Supply acts as a dropship supply and fulfillment partner. The PayPal payment is tied to cost of goods sold and delivery for a merchant's customer order, similar to paying for physical inventory, fulfillment, or shipping services. The Shopify app subscription itself remains billed only by Shopify Billing API.
