Designed to stop quietly instead of changing store truth.
The free workflow is independent of Stripe, the StoreFixKit license API, and Pro. A billing or network problem cannot rewrite the parent plugin's data.
Read-only: no shipping-zone, method, rate, total, coupon, tax, address, or order edits.
The message stays hidden when WooCommerce cannot determine a reliable matched rule.
No custom table, cron job, telemetry, or frontend remote request.
Free keeps cart and checkout messages when Pro or the license API is unavailable.
14-day trial
No card required to test Pro on one site.
Stripe hosts checkout and billing. The StoreFixKit success page creates a product-bound license and Pro download. Add a payment method before trial end only if you want the annual plan to continue.
