Rise.ai pricing, explained

Rise.ai is the largest store credit and gift card app on Shopify, with plans that scale from roughly $19.99 to $599.99 a month. The part worth understanding before you install: what the price actually scales with.

How the tiers work

Rise's plans are tiered by total store sales, not by how much store credit or how many gift cards you actually issue. A store with a big month of ordinary sales — unrelated to credit or gift cards at all — can be pushed into a higher tier simply because overall revenue crossed a threshold.

Why this surprises merchants

It's a natural assumption that a "store credit app" bills based on store credit activity. Rise's public reviews include merchants describing exactly this gap between expectation and bill — including cases of gift card fees exceeding the value of the gift cards sold, and one-off bills far above what the merchant expected for the month.

What to check before you commit

• Which tier your current total store sales (not just credit-related sales) would put you in today.
• What happens to your bill in your highest sales month of the year, not your average month.
• Whether you actually need Rise's broader feature set (gift cards, loyalty, referrals, POS) or just store-credit automation.

The alternative

If store-credit automation — cashback, refund-to-credit, expiry reminders — is what you actually need, StoreCred does that specific job for one flat monthly price, with no relationship between your bill and your total sales. See the full comparison.
