Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan

Change a BarcodeMan plan, uninstall the Shopify app, or cancel separate API billing. Check when access ends and why a pending charge may still appear.

Change or cancel your plan through the account that bills you. Shopify and Wix store subscriptions are managed through their platforms. A subscription purchased through the Gookit Developer Portal has separate Stripe billing, even if you also use BarcodeMan in a store.

Check your current plan and price before making a change. Older Shopify subscriptions can have different terms; see Subscription and pricing.

Upgrade on Shopify

  1. Open BarcodeMan, then Settings → Manage Subscription. An older Settings card may use Manage.
  2. Choose the plan you want and click Upgrade. If you see Manage plan on Shopify, use it to choose the plan on Shopify instead.
  3. Review the price, billing period, and any trial on Shopify’s approval screen, then confirm.
  4. Return to BarcodeMan and check that your current plan has updated before using the paid features.

An upgrade takes effect after the subscription is approved and activated. Leaving checkout without approving it does not activate the plan.

Downgrade or cancel on Shopify

To keep the app installed, open its Subscription page and choose the lower plan. To stop the paid subscription, choose Free where available. If the page shows Manage plan on Shopify, open it and complete the change there.

Check the confirmation and effective date. Some subscription flows switch to Free immediately; a scheduled change takes effect on the date shown. You keep paid access until that date only when the confirmation says so. A pending plan change message alone does not prove that a downgrade is scheduled: it can also refer to a checkout waiting for approval.

After completing the change, check the current plan or scheduled end date again. If neither reflects your request, contact hi@gookit.co with your store address and a screenshot of the message.

Uninstall BarcodeMan from Shopify

If you want to remove the app entirely:

  1. In your Shopify admin, open Settings → Apps.
  2. Find BarcodeMan, open its three-dot menu, and choose Uninstall.
  3. Optionally select a reason, then click Uninstall to confirm.

Uninstalling removes your access to the app and cancels future Shopify recurring charges. It does not cancel a separate Developer Portal subscription. Shopify documents these steps and billing effects in Uninstalling apps.

Why a charge can appear after cancellation

Stopping future billing does not erase a charge already generated. A pending app charge may still appear on your next Shopify invoice after you uninstall.

In Shopify admin, open Settings → Billing → View current charges to check pending charges. Check Past Bills for charges already paid. For a billing correction or refund request, contact hi@gookit.co with your store address and the invoice or charge details. See Shopify’s app charge guidance.

Older prices and trials

A continuously active USD 5.99 Shopify Pro subscription keeps its price. Once that subscription ends, a later subscription uses the offer available at that time. Review the new approval screen; resubscribing does not restore an older price automatically.

For another older rate, such as USD 4.99, contact support before changing the subscription so its terms can be checked. Cancelling or reinstalling also does not entitle a store to another Pro trial. Check any trial and first charge date shown by Shopify before approving a new subscription.

Change or cancel a Wix subscription

Open BarcodeMan’s Subscription page to choose an offered paid plan and follow Wix checkout. To return to Free, cancel the app subscription’s automatic renewal:

  1. Open Premium Subscriptions in your Wix account. BarcodeMan’s Free plan action may open a dialog with a Go to Premium Subscriptions button.
  2. Find the BarcodeMan subscription and open More Actions → Cancel App.
  3. Choose Cancel auto renew, then Submit.
  4. Check the subscription’s end date. The paid app subscription stays active until the end of its current billing cycle.

Follow Wix’s app cancellation steps and subscription timing guidance. Cancel the app’s renewal even if you also remove it from your site.

Manage or cancel API billing

If your API plan appears on your Shopify or Wix bill, use the store subscription steps above. For another store platform, open BarcodeMan’s subscription management action and follow that platform’s confirmation.

For a subscription purchased through the Gookit Developer Portal:

  1. Sign in to the Developer Portal with the account that owns the subscription.
  2. Open Settings → Billing.
  3. Click Manage billing on Stripe.
  4. Choose the subscription and complete the cancellation. You can also update payment details or download invoices there.
  5. Check the cancellation confirmation and access end date. If cancellation is scheduled for the end of the billing period, access continues until that date.

Uninstalling BarcodeMan or cancelling a store plan does not cancel this separate subscription. Contact hi@gookit.co if you cannot find the subscription that matches your charge.
