One opening. The whole experience. Opening the viewer counts once. Moving between frames or stories within that session does not add openings. Closing and reopening starts another.
Billed through Shopify. Prices exclude applicable taxes. Additional openings are charged proportionally, not in rounded-up blocks. Drafts and archived stories do not use your publishing allowance.

Story and frame limits apply to active published content. Frames are counted across all active stories, not per story. Drafts and archived content do not use those allowances. Analytics windows describe accessible reporting history, not data-deletion schedules.
Usage, explained
One shopper opening the story viewer counts as one opening. Moving between frames or stories while it stays open does not add openings. Closing and reopening starts another. Previews and duplicate event deliveries are excluded; measurement respects Shopify consent controls.
Only openings above your included allowance are charged. Rates are shown per 1,000 for readability, but usage is calculated proportionally. An extra 500 openings on Standard costs $1.50, not $3.
Shopify handles subscription and usage charges. Prices are in USD, before applicable taxes. These examples assume a full billing cycle on one plan; plan changes follow Shopify-confirmed dates and proration.
The first 3,000 openings are not charged again. Trial usage is never billed retroactively when you subscribe.
The 14-day trial includes every Ultimate feature, with 1,000 total openings, 10 active stories and 100 frames. Branding stays during the trial. There are no trial overages: new storefront delivery pauses at the opening limit. Choose a paid plan to continue; there is no permanent free plan.
Upgrades take effect after Shopify confirms the change. Downgrades start at the next renewal, so you keep current-plan access until then and renew at the lower price. Valid overages incurred before the change remain payable. Saved content is preserved; you may need to choose which stories remain published and adjust features to fit the lower plan. A mid-cycle upgrade does not promise a fresh full opening allowance.
Additional usage on an active paid plan is billable at its disclosed rate. The included opening allowance is not a spending cap. No fixed usage-charge cap is included in these plans. Review your recorded usage and Shopify billing details when deciding which plan fits your store.
Where Shopify permits continued operation, Hylite provides up to five days to resolve a confirmed billing issue while usage remains within the included allowance. If usage enters overage, the deadline becomes the earlier of the original deadline and three days after entering overage. This courtesy extends only up to 110% of the included allowance; above that, or after the deadline, new storefront delivery and paid features pause. These thresholds apply only during payment trouble, not to healthy paid subscriptions. Existing valid charges remain payable.
A scheduled cancellation preserves access until its effective date at the end of the remaining paid period. Immediate cancellation or uninstall ends access immediately. There is no additional cancellation grace period; valid charges already incurred remain payable.
