Tax Inclusive Pricing
The Tax Inclusive Pricing feature allows merchants to embed applicable taxes directly into the product prices. Customers see one final amount upfront, creating a transparent and seamless shopping experience. The system automatically calculates the tax-exclusive portion and the tax amount during checkout, ensuring compliance and clarity on invoices.Merchant Flow

Pay What you Want Pricing
Pay What You Want (PWYW) is a pricing strategy that allows customers to decide how much they will pay for a product—above or at a minimum threshold set by the merchant. This can boost engagement, encourage community support, and allow for greater flexibility in how merchants price their offerings.Key Highlights
- Customer-Driven Pricing: The buyer chooses the price they pay.
- Minimum Threshold: Merchants set a required minimum.
- Suggested Price (Optional): You can display a recommended or typical value to guide customers.
- This option is only available for One-Time Payment products.
Merchant Flow
- Enable PWYW
- From the dashboard, create or edit a product and select Pricing as Single Payment
- Enable Toggle “ Pay What You Want ” under the pricing section.
- Set Minimum Price
- Enter the Minimum price.
- If you wish, enter a “Suggested Price” that appears on the product page to guide customers.
- Confirm & Save
- Save your settings. The product is now Pay What You Want enabled.
- Preview & Share
- Once saved, customers on your storefront or via your checkout link will see the PWYW field.
- Review the checkout preview to ensure everything looks correct (e.g., the minimum price, suggested price)
- Share the link or embed the product as usual.
- Monitor Transactions
- In your dashboard, each sale’s “paid amount” might vary so you can monitor the transactions in detail.
Customer Flow
- Product Page
- The shopper lands on the product listing. They see an input field to set their price with a suggested(if provided) & minimum price.
- Input Their Price
- The customer types any amount that meets or exceeds the minimum.
- Checkout
- The checkout summary will display their chosen amount.
- They complete payment as usual (card, wallet, etc.), paying exactly what they entered.
- Confirmation
- They can see how much they paid in their invoice sent via email.
Points to Remember
- Suggested Price vs. Minimum Price
- Minimum Price: Ensures you recoup at least a nominal amount
- Suggested Price: Helps anchor a “typical” or “recommended” rate, which can influence average payments positively.
- Refund & Support
- Refund logic remains the same as other products. If a user requests a refund, they’d be refunded whatever they initially paid.
