FAQs

1. How is the forecasted charge/cost calculated?
   The forecasted charge/cost is calculated automatically based on the current usage.
   Example: If the store owner has consumed $6 in the first 5 days of the month, the software will calculate expected expenses to be incurred for the remaining part of the month (25 days). In this case, it will amount to $30, leading to a total consumption of $36 – this is the Forecasted cost.
   

   Note

   Forecasted costs are just an indicative measure. They do not limit the actual amount that can be set.

2. Can I change my usage cap more than once during one billing cycle?

   Yes, the usage charges can be changed as often as needed throughout the duration of one billing cycle. The only limitation is – the usage charges cannot be less than the current usage for the billing period. This is a limitation from Shopify.

   Example: The store owner has a current usage of $11.16. In this case, they can choose any usage charge greater than or equal to $11.16 but can’t go lower than that for the duration of the current billing cycle. (You can go lower as soon as your new billing cycle starts. You can when your billing cycle ends in the Billing section)

3. Where can I find information on costs per shipment quota, free trackings left and when does my next billing cycle starts?

   To access information regarding shipment quota, free trackings and billing cycles:

1. 1. Select Apps from the navigation sidebar on the left.
      
   2. From the list of installed apps, select the Rush app.
   3. Select Billing from the navigation sidebar on the left.
      
   4. Click on the Upgrade plan button and there you can check the information below the slider.
