Plan, free trial and team roles

What the free trial includes, which features need a paid plan, and what owners, admins and members can each do.

Free trial

New stores get a 30-day free trial with no credit card. During the trial you can use every feature, with one limit: you can add up to 100 books in total, across all your orders. Splitting books into more orders doesn't raise the limit. Build Order shows how many you've used, with an Upgrade link.

What needs a paid plan

Once the trial ends, these features need an active subscription. They show an upgrade icon or message until you subscribe:

  • Update Square, Create Purchase Order and Download Purchase Order on an order
  • Import Order File
  • Search by title on Build Order
  • Square Catalog search
  • COGS Report and Restock Planner
  • Inviting team members
  • Your referral link

You can still scan books into orders without a plan. The owner subscribes from Settings → Billing. See Organization and billing.

Team roles

Everyone you invite joins your organization with a role:

Role What they can do
Owner Everything, including subscribing, managing billing and deleting the organization. The person who created the account.
Admin Everything except billing and deleting the organization. Can change settings, invite people, manage the storefront and its online orders.
Member Build, review and process orders, use reports and the catalog, and connect AI apps. Can't change settings.

Invite people from Settings → Organization → Users. You choose Admin or Member when you send the invite.
