Shops and catalogs
A from-price is a floor you will honor. A cart is a machine you will pack.
Service businesses often need a from-price and a form. Product shops often need a cart. Mixing them, a cart on a custom job you have never scoped, is how you sell a Tuesday you cannot staff.
Use from-prices when every job is different. Use a cart when the SKU is packed the same way twice. Pro is $12 a month: unlimited Cipher, a custom domain, overnight jobs from the brief, checkout on your payment account with no Bizzit sales cut, and no badge. If you need a full commerce OS, that is a different comparison.
From-price is a sentence
"From $120 for a standard clean" is a floor. If you will not take $120, do not print it. Town, stairs, and gunk belong in the caveats on the page.
A cart is operations
Inventory, shipping copy, refunds, a payment account on Pro. If any of those are imaginary, you wanted a from-price.
Who should not show a cart yet
Custom work, quotes, anything you still price on a walkthrough. A button that cannot fulfill is worse than a phone number.
Who should show a cart
A defined SKU, a photo of that SKU, a shipping sentence you mean, and a processor you have actually connected.
What we will not pretend
We are not Shopify's app store. Empty cells stay empty. Overnight jobs will not invent stock you do not have.
Changing your mind
You can rebuild the brief from quote-first to cart-first when the operation exists. Do not leave both prices live.
A table, not a slogan
Empty cells stay empty. We name our prices. We do not invent theirs.
| Shape | Show | Do not show |
|---|---|---|
| Custom service | From-price + how to ask | Add to cart |
| Packed SKU | Price + cart on Pro | A from-price that is really the only price, hiding as "from" |
Limits and caveats
A from-price that is bait-and-switch is on you. We will host the sentence. We will not make it ethical.
If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.
What to do after you read this
If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Shops and catalogs. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.
Tools that actually do this job
These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.
Questions people actually ask
Can I have both services and products?
Yes if the brief says which is which. See services versus products.
Does Free include checkout?
Checkout on your payment account is Pro. Free is the live slug and 50 turns.
Is a form a cart?
No. A form is a request. A cart takes money.
Should from-prices include travel?
Say so. Service-area copy without stuffing cities, see the copy cluster.
