Who this is for

Agencies that already connected stores on free Scan

If you own the retainer narrative and the client still asks “why is cash flat when ads look fine?”, you are the buyer for this workflow — not a pure creative shop that never touches Stripe.

What to look for on this topic

You need approve-first fixes, not only visibility
You want client-facing recovered-$ reports
You’re within ~10 stores (Pro capacity)

Do this week: open Stripe (or your client’s authorized connection), inventory the bullets above, and rank by dollars — not by which ticket yelled loudest.

Honest limits

Free Scan: 3 stores. Pro: 10 stores at $299/mo. Scale: 30 stores at $499/mo with white-label and multi-seat.

Field note from agency delivery

Upgrade when your delivery promise includes fixing and reporting — not when a salesperson wants a higher plan. Signals: you already re-open the same free-scan findings every Monday, clients ask for a branded PDF, or you need approve workflows your team can audit. Until then free Scan is the honest floor.
