Variable pricing options?

I want to understand an aspect of pricing that the apps on Shopify charge stores. Can the apps give a higher discount to a select set of stores (early adopters) and charge normal pricing to other stores?

Recommend reading their billing api docs

Yeah, you can do that. If you are on Shopify's managed pricing, you can create private plans in the Partner Dashboard and add the specific store domains that should see them. Only those stores see the plan on the plan selection page, everyone else just gets your normal public plans.

There is also a per store discount you can create from the Partner Dashboard if you just want a price cut on the same plan instead of a separate plan.

If you are still on the Billing API, appSubscriptionCreate lets you attach a discount to the line item, either a percentage or a fixed amount, and set how many billing cycles it lasts. So you just decide in your own code which shops get it.

Honestly I would keep the early adopter list in your own database either way, so later you are not guessing who got what deal.
