Manage your Rankvia plan through Shopify

If your Rankvia subscription started through the Shopify app, Shopify hosts plan selection and manages billing for that store.

Choose Launch, Growth, or Scale and monthly or yearly billing in Shopify. You can continue using Rankvia on the web, but the subscription is still managed through Shopify.

Rankvia access follows the plan currently active for the store - not simply the most recently selected plan.

Plans and billing cadence

PlanMonthlyYearlyPages
Launch$39/month$390/year10/month
Growth$99/month$990/year30/month
Scale$189/month$1,890/year60/month

Yearly billing is equivalent to two months free. Each subscription covers one website. Paying yearly changes the billing cadence only: page allowances, AI Visibility allowances, and other recurring Rankvia usage still reset monthly.

How Shopify billing works

Rankvia access

The active Rankvia plan determines the features and usage available for the store. Shopify hosts plan selection, shows any billing adjustment, and manages the billing lifecycle. Rankvia reflects the subscription Shopify confirms.

Where to manage your Rankvia subscription

Started through Shopify

Subscription and billing are managed through Shopify.

Started directly through Rankvia

Subscription and billing are managed through Rankvia's direct billing flow.

Opening Rankvia on the web does not change a Shopify-managed subscription into a direct-billed subscription. The same Rankvia website should have one active billing source, not separate simultaneous Shopify and direct subscriptions.

Your current plan and upcoming changes

Current plan is the plan providing Rankvia access now. Upcoming plan is a different plan scheduled to take effect later.

Current plan

Growth

Active until September 18

Upcoming plan

Launch

Starts September 18

Example only. If you request a downgrade, the lower plan appearing as upcoming does not mean your current higher-plan access has already ended.

Upgrade your Rankvia plan

In Rankvia, select Manage plan in Shopify. Shopify's hosted App Pricing page lets you choose the plan and monthly or yearly billing in one place, then shows any billing adjustment before you confirm.

  1. Choose the plan and billing cadence in Shopify.
  2. Review and approve the change, or cancel to leave the existing subscription unchanged.
  3. Return to Rankvia and check the current and upcoming plan state.

After Shopify confirms the change, Rankvia updates the store's plan state. Plan-dependent workflows then follow the higher plan that is active for the store.

Downgrade your Rankvia plan

A downgrade to a lower Rankvia plan is scheduled for the end of the current billing period rather than removing the current higher-plan access immediately. A yearly-to-monthly change also begins at renewal when applicable.

at period end

Until the downgrade takes effect, Rankvia continues applying the current higher-plan access. After the effective date, limits and features follow the lower plan.

What changes when the downgrade takes effect

Future plan-dependent generation and Content Calendar capacity follow the newly active plan. Existing Business Profile information, generated work, and articles already published to Shopify are retained; the change does not delete them.

Cancel your Rankvia subscription

Use Shopify's subscription management to review or cancel a Shopify-managed subscription. The effective date and any remaining access depend on the subscription state Shopify confirms. Check the cancellation status and effective date in Shopify, then confirm the current access shown in Rankvia before relying on it. Shopify is the billing source of truth for this subscription.

The card is an example of a scheduled cancellation, not a promise of a universal access timeline. Articles already published to Shopify remain in Shopify unless you remove them there.

Canceling and uninstalling are different

Cancel subscription

Changes the Rankvia subscription and billing lifecycle.

Uninstall Shopify app

Removes the Shopify app and its connection to the store. Uninstalling a Shopify-managed app subscription stops future recurring charges; a charge for the current billing cycle or an already-generated pending charge may still remain.

Uninstalling ends the Shopify app connection and stops future recurring charges for a Shopify-managed app subscription. Check Shopify for the subscription state, any current or pending charges, and the effective date; check Rankvia for current access. Uninstall only when you also want to remove the app connection.

Using Rankvia outside Shopify

A store that started through Shopify can continue using the broader Rankvia experience. Opening Rankvia on the web does not move the subscription to direct billing.

How your plan affects Rankvia

Your current active plan determines the plan-dependent features and usage available for the website. For plan inclusions and commercial comparison, use the current pricing page rather than this billing guide.

Invoices and billing records

Charges for a Shopify-managed Rankvia subscription are handled through Shopify's billing system. Review the charge and billing record in your Shopify admin billing area. A Shopify-managed subscription is not managed through Rankvia's direct billing flow.

If a plan change doesn't complete

  1. Verify whether Shopify shows the plan change as approved.
  2. Return to Rankvia and check the current and upcoming plan state.
  3. Do not repeatedly start additional plan-change requests while a change is still pending.
  4. If Shopify shows the change as confirmed but Rankvia does not update, contact Rankvia support.

After a confirmed Shopify change, it can take a short time for Rankvia to reflect the updated subscription state.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Rankvia still show Growth after I selected Launch?

Growth remains your current plan until the end of the current billing period. Launch is the upcoming plan.

Why does Shopify show a different plan than Rankvia?

First check whether one surface is showing an upcoming change while the other shows the current plan. If both show conflicting current plans, contact support.

Can I manage my Shopify Rankvia subscription through direct billing?

Not when Shopify owns the subscription. Shopify remains the billing provider for that Shopify-managed subscription.

Can I use Rankvia on the web while Shopify bills me?

Yes. Opening Rankvia on the web does not change the billing provider.

Will downgrading delete my existing content?

No. Existing Rankvia work and Shopify articles already published to your store are retained. Future plan-dependent capacity follows the lower plan once it becomes active.

What happens to Shopify articles if I cancel Rankvia?

Articles already published to Shopify remain there unless you remove them in Shopify.
