Which plans include valuation

Valuation, Safe Buy and market prices come with Starter and up. The free plan lacks them; new shops can try them for 14 days.

Valuation, Safe Buy, suggested prices and market price recording come with the Starter plan and above (Starter and up). The free plan doesn't include them. New shops get a 14-day trial of every feature, valuation included.

What valuation includes

• The valuation panel on the buying screen

• The Valuation page, with the Price Curve and saved valuations

• Suggested prices and the use-suggested-price button on the item page

• The Market prices page for recording market prices

As well as the plan, people need permission to see valuations (View valuations). Recording market prices needs Record market prices.

If your plan doesn't include it

• The valuation and market price menus don't appear.

• Opening the valuation page by its link shows This feature is in a higher plan.

• The buying screen has no valuation panel, but buying, inspecting and seeing expected profit from a target price all work as usual.

No data is lost when you change plan

The system records your shop's real sale and purchase prices every time, even on a plan without valuation. When you upgrade, the data within the look-back period is used for valuations straight away.

Making the most of the trial

During the trial you see valuation in full. Try these to see whether it suits your shop:

• Import past sales so there's data to value with from day one. See Import past sales history.

• Record market prices for the models you buy most. See Record market, dealer and quoted prices.

• Buy several real devices and compare Safe Buy with what the shop used to pay.

• Have the owner tune the minimum profit to the shop. See Set minimum profit, risk reserve and holding cost.

Upgrading

The owner can see and change the plan under Plan and billing. See Upgrade or downgrade your plan and This feature is in a higher plan. Prices and what each plan includes are on Pricing.
