We have simplified Basic so sellers know exactly what they are paying for from day one. There is no free trial anymore and there is no recurring Basic charge. You create your account, set up your store, and activate Basic once with a GH₵100 payment when you are ready to go live.
Why we changed it
The old trial-first flow created hesitation at the wrong moment. Sellers could set things up, but many still needed to pause and ask what happened after the trial ended. That meant more uncertainty during onboarding and more support questions after the first few days.
A one-time Basic price is more direct. It lets new sellers understand the commitment immediately, budget for it, and decide whether they want to start with Basic or move straight to Premium.
What Basic includes now
Basic still focuses on the core job: helping you organize products, present them cleanly, and collect orders without repeating yourself in chat. The change is in how access is activated, not in the value of the plan.
You still get unlimited product uploads, a professional storefront, platform-managed promos, and the standard Basic transaction fee structure.
- One-time GH₵100 activation
- No monthly Basic subscription
- Unlimited product uploads
- Storefront link you can share across channels
What this means for sellers
If you are just discovering Preorderly, the path is now simpler: create your seller account, complete your store setup, then activate Basic when you want to start selling. If you later want lower fees or more storefront controls, Premium is still available as a monthly upgrade.
If you already had a trial or an unpaid Basic state, your account should now be treated as pending Basic payment. That keeps the billing logic clean and makes your status easier to understand in the dashboard.
Key takeaway
Basic is now easier to explain, easier to budget for, and easier to activate: one payment, one clear outcome.
