# PayRequest Plans: Free, Premium & Business

> Compare the Free, Premium, and Business plans and see exactly what each tier unlocks

# PayRequest Plans

PayRequest offers three tiers: **Free**, **Premium**, and **Business**. Every account starts on the Free plan — you can invoice, take payments, and run a PayRequest Page from day one. Upgrading to Premium removes the per-transaction fee and unlocks features like quotes, digital products, and PayRequest Page visitor analytics.

<Info>
  The Business plan (subscriptions, an online shop, and order management) is available **on request** rather than as a self-serve upgrade. See [Requesting the Business Plan](#requesting-the-business-plan) below.

## Free Plan

Every new account starts here. You can create a PayRequest Page, send invoices, and accept payments right away.

The trade-off is a **2% fee** on every successful transaction — this is how PayRequest covers its costs for accounts that aren't on a paid plan. There's no monthly charge either way.

<Info>
  Free accounts don't have access to quotes, digital products, bulk actions, debt collection, the activity log, or PayRequest Page visitor analytics. Where these appear in the dashboard, you'll see an **Upgrade to Premium** prompt instead.
</Info>

## Premium Plan — €5/month

Premium removes the 2% transaction fee entirely and unlocks the tools most freelancers and solo businesses need day-to-day:

* **Customer management** — full customer profiles instead of just invoice recipients
* **Digital products** — sell downloads, Pay to Unlock photos/audio, and more
* **Activity log** — a full audit trail of what happened on your account and when
* **Quotes** — send quotes that convert into invoices once accepted
* **Bulk actions & exports** — act on many invoices/customers at once, export data
* **Debt collection** — automated payment plans and collection workflows for overdue invoices
* **PayRequest Page visitor analytics** — see how many people visit your page each day (see below)

### Upgrading to Premium

1. Go to **Settings → PayRequest Plan**
2. Find the **Premium** card and click **Subscribe to Premium**
3. Complete the payment — your account unlocks immediately

<Tip>
  If you're on Free and click a Premium-gated feature (like Quotes or Bulk Actions), PayRequest redirects you to an upgrade page explaining exactly what you're missing — you don't need to hunt for the billing page yourself.
</Tip>

## Business Plan — €20/month

Business adds everything needed to run recurring billing and a full online shop on top of Premium:

* **Everything in Premium**
* **Subscriptions & recurring billing** — Mollie/iDEAL mandates, dunning, pausing, and lifecycle management
* **Online shop** — a full storefront beyond the single PayRequest Page
* **Order management** — track and fulfill shop orders

### Requesting the Business Plan

The Business plan is **not** a self-serve checkout — it's available on request so we can make sure it's set up correctly for how you plan to use subscriptions and the shop.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Contact support">
    Email [support@payrequest.io](mailto:support@payrequest.io?subject=Business%20plan) and let us know you'd like the Business plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="We confirm your setup">
    We'll check your account and connected payment provider to make sure subscriptions and the shop will work smoothly for your use case.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activation">
    Once confirmed, we activate the Business plan on your account — no self-serve checkout involved.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Existing Business plan customers keep their subscription exactly as-is — this change only affects new sign-ups, who now request access instead of subscribing directly from the billing page.
</Info>

## Managing Your Plan

Go to **Settings → PayRequest Plan** to see your current plan, payment method, next billing date, and billing history. From there you can also:

* **Pause** your subscription (with an optional auto-resume date)
* **Resume** a paused subscription
* **Cancel** your subscription (you keep access until the end of your current billing period)

<Warning>
  Canceling removes access to Premium-only features (quotes, digital products, bulk actions, debt collection, activity log, PayRequest Page analytics) at the end of your billing period, and your account reverts to the Free plan's 2% transaction fee.
</Warning>

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I downgrade from Business to Premium?">
    Downgrading from Business isn't available directly in the billing page. Contact [support@payrequest.io](mailto:support@payrequest.io) if you need to change tiers.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the 2% Free plan fee apply to Premium and Business too?">
    No. The 2% per-transaction fee only applies to the Free plan. Premium and Business both have a flat 0% platform fee — your subscription cost is the only fee PayRequest charges.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to my data if I cancel?">
    Nothing is deleted. Your invoices, customers, and products remain in your account — you simply lose access to Premium-only features and pages until you resubscribe.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can't I self-serve subscribe to Business anymore?">
    The Business plan involves subscriptions and shop configuration that we want to get right from the start, so it's now request-only. Premium remains fully self-serve.
