Upgrade moments

Subscriptions first. Boosts second. Transaction fees later.

This structure avoids charging for login or basic browsing while still creating revenue around the behaviors users already value: visibility, leads, proposal volume, and marketplace trust.

Post more than 1 active need
Create more than 1 marketplace listing
Send more than 3 match requests per month
Feature an urgent proposal for 7 days
Boost a listing or creator profile
Add in-app payments later for completed deals
Drop your transaction fee from 8% (free) to 5% (Pro) or 3% (Business)

Secure checkout

Payments should happen on a hosted checkout page so ShowUs never handles raw card data.

Verified upgrades

Paid profile trust signals should be tied to account status, not editable profile text.

Backend plan limits

Listing counts, match volume, boosts, and Business posting should be enforced by account tier before checkout goes live.
