Shopify pricing details own every charge and free-plan flag
Keep every price, trial term, and extra charge inside Pricing details, and mark the free plan explicitly when the listing has both free and paid tiers.
Why this can grow a startup
Pricing confusion is one of the fastest ways to attract the wrong install. Shopify's listing rules are useful because they force all of the money talk into one place. That means the icon, screenshots, and body copy can stop pretending to be a pricing page. It also creates a clearer discovery surface. If the product has both free and paid plans, the free tier can show up directly in search results. That is a small presentation detail with real filtering value, because the merchant learns the economic shape before the trial starts.
Company example
Shopify requires accurate and complete pricing details in the designated pricing section, says not to put pricing into images or other listing areas, recommends a 14-day free trial for paid plans, and notes that marking one recurring plan as Free shows 'Free plan available' in search results.
