How your free trial works

There are two different trials in Lunix and they are easy to confuse. One is the free trial on your account when you sign up. The other is a short unlock you can use on one feature your plan does not include. Knowing which is which saves an unpleasant surprise.

1. 1

   Know what the account trial gives you

   When you sign up you get a free trial with no charge for the trial period and no card due on the day you start. Your countdown is shown in the app — how many days of trial are left — so you never have to guess where you are.

2. 2

   Use the trial on the real thing

   Load your actual products, ring actual sales, print an actual receipt. A trial spent looking at the demo data tells you nothing about whether Lunix fits your shop. Migration help is part of the offer — ask for it on day one, not day twelve.

3. 3

   Know what happens at the end

   When the trial ends you pick a plan to keep going. Cancel before the end and you pay nothing. Your data does not evaporate when a trial ends — but do not leave choosing until the last afternoon, because a shop that cannot ring a sale is a shop that is closed.

4. 4

   Understand the separate feature unlock

   Some features belong to a paid plan and show as locked — the cash register is the common one. Rather than making you upgrade to find out, Lunix lets you unlock a locked feature free for 7 days, with the countdown on the card. That is a different clock from your account trial.

5. 5

   Check what your plan includes before you commit

   The plans screen lists what each one has. The features most shops discover late are the cash register and day-end close, more than one register per location, bulk label printing, and time-off management.

6. 6

   Pick a plan

   Choose the plan from the plans screen and add a payment method. Changing plan later is its own short guide — you are not locked into the first choice.
