Seller plan
Review how a marketplace owner can compare seller tiers, plan benefits, team seats, listing limits, upgrade paths, downgrade rules, and support ownership before seller billing is connected.
Plan Tiers
- Starter keeps listing creation, basic seller profile, standard fee rules, offer handling, and order history visible for casual sellers.
- Pro adds storefront shelves, analytics, saved-demand cues, promotion review, inventory repair prompts, and priority support assumptions.
- Studio adds team seats, approval flow, bulk import, event lots, shipping presets, finance roles, and account-level review.
Benefit Matrix
- Every benefit is mapped to a visible route so reviewers can inspect the actual seller experience instead of reading a feature list.
- Benefits include draft capacity, active listings, storefront collections, item questions, offers, analytics, bulk tools, campaign caps, and export access.
- Locked benefits should explain the plan requirement, repair path, and whether the seller can request owner review.
Team Seats
- Business sellers need owner, listing editor, inventory manager, support responder, finance reviewer, and storefront merchandiser roles.
- Seat changes should show requester, approval owner, effective date, affected permissions, and privacy boundary.
- Finance seats can review statements and proceeds readiness without exposing bank, tax, or private buyer data in the demo.
Limits and Entitlements
- Plan limits should cover active listings, draft inventory, bulk import rows, storefront shelves, campaign caps, event lot nominations, and export frequency.
- High-risk categories, high-value auctions, and hub-assisted intake can require extra review regardless of plan level.
- Entitlement changes should connect to seller standards, compliance, access audit, and fee schedule review.
Upgrade Review
- Upgrade preview should show new tools, fee impact, seller obligations, support expectations, and any category restrictions that remain.
- Seller teams should see which pending drafts, campaigns, imports, or storefront shelves become available after approval.
- Owner review should confirm support coverage before promising faster assistance or larger seller limits.
Downgrade Rules
- Downgrades should preserve existing orders, reports, receipts, support cases, seller statements, and completed listing history.
- Listings or tools above the new limit need a grace period, pause path, export option, and seller notice.
- Downgrade review should prevent sellers from losing access to evidence needed for active disputes, returns, or seller release holds.
Billing Boundary
- The demo shows plan comparison and review states only, with no seller billing, payment method collection, invoices, or plan enrollment.
- Live plan billing would need seller agreement, proration rules, tax treatment, receipt generation, cancellation handling, credits, and support authority.
- Customer-facing pages should avoid promising a paid plan benefit until finance, policy, and support owners approve it.
Owner Approval
- Owners should approve plan names, plan limits, benefit wording, team permissions, downgrade rules, seller notices, and rollback controls.
- Launch review should connect plan promises to seller standards, business seller tools, fee schedule, support capacity, and service health.
- Rollback should pause new plan changes while preserving active seller operations and finance records.

Launch needs seller agreements, plan enrollment, payment authorization, proration, cancellation, credits, tax treatment, permissions, invoices, customer notices, support scripts, and rollback authority.
