## AI Theme Fixer Credits: How They Work & Add-On Packs

The **AI Theme Fixer** allows you to safely duplicate your theme into a draft sandbox and apply automated code optimizations without touching your live store.

### How are Credits Counted?

* **1 Credit = 1 Complete Theme Remediation Run:** When you select a theme and click **Start Automated Remediation**, TurboLoad reserves 1 credit. The engine clones your theme into a new draft theme (e.g. `[TurboLoad Remediation] <Theme Name>`), applies script deferrals, preconnect hints, and image layout fixes, and generates side-by-side code diffs and preview links.
* **Auditing & Previews are Free:** You can audit any published or unpublished theme and preview your remediated draft as many times as you like without consuming credits. Credits are only used when launching a remediation job.

### Plan Credit Inclusions

* **Free Plan ($0/mo):** 0 included remediation credits. Merchants can run unlimited theme audits and purchase on-demand credit packs whenever they want to optimize a theme.
* **Pro Plan ($29/mo):** **2 included remediation credits per month**, automatically replenished on your monthly billing date. Perfect for testing seasonal campaign themes or major catalog updates.
* **Business Plan ($99/mo):** **Unlimited theme remediations**. No credit counting or pack purchases required—optimize as many themes, landing pages, and development drafts as your team needs.

### On-Demand Credit Add-On Packs

Need extra remediations without upgrading your monthly subscription? You can purchase credit packs directly through Shopify's secure one-time app purchase checkout:

| Pack Tier        | Included Credits | Price (USD) | Effective Cost / Fix | Best For                                                              |
| ---------------- | :--------------: | :---------: | :------------------: | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Starter Pack** |     3 Credits    |    $9.99    |      $3.33 / run     | Single theme optimization & pre-launch validation                     |
| **Pro Pack**     |    10 Credits    |    $24.99   |      $2.50 / run     | High-growth brands testing multiple campaign themes *(Most Popular)*  |
| **Agency Pack**  |    25 Credits    |    $49.99   |      $2.00 / run     | eCommerce agencies managing multi-store client rosters *(Best Value)* |

> \[!TIP] **Never-Expire Guarantee:** On-demand credit packs never expire. Any unused credits remain attached to your store account and roll over indefinitely.

## How to Upgrade or Change Your Plan

### 2. Select Your Plan

* Review the feature cards for **Pro** or **Business**.
* Click **Start 7-Day Free Trial** (or **Upgrade to Pro**).

### 3. Approve via Shopify Billing

1. TurboLoad redirects you to the official, secure **Shopify App Subscription Approval** screen.
2. Review the billing details, recurring cycle, and trial period.
3. Click **Approve**.

### 4. Return to TurboLoad

Once approved by Shopify, you will be redirected back to TurboLoad. Your account is immediately upgraded with zero delay, and your active plan will reflect as **Active**.

***

## Downgrades & Cancellations

Because billing is unified with Shopify:

* You can downgrade or cancel at any time directly through your Shopify Admin under **Settings → Apps and sales channels → TurboLoad**.
* If you cancel, your access continues until the end of your current Shopify billing cycle.
* Uninstalling the app automatically terminates all recurring charges via Shopify.

***

## Shopify Unified Invoicing & Enterprise Guarantee

* **Consolidated Billing:** All charges appear on your unified monthly Shopify subscription invoice under standard accounting line items.
* **Shopify Plus & Multi-Store Eligible:** Seamlessly compatible with Shopify Plus merchant agreements and enterprise purchasing workflows.
* **Zero Hidden Charges:** What you see on the pricing table is the complete cost; there are no per-pageview fees or surprise overage charges.
