The Asteris Cart founder licence — 120 spots, original pricing locked for life

Q: What happens to my price after the 120 are gone?

Nothing changes for you. Your founder rate holds while active. Regular pricing — $149, $299, $549 — applies to new customers only.

Q: What happens to my price if I cancel?

The locked rate holds while your subscription is active. Re-subscribe later and you re-join at current pricing.

A founder licence is one of 120 early Asteris Cart subscriptions, locked at its original price for life: $99 a year for Starter, $199 for Pro or $399 for Agency. While your subscription stays active, that rate never rises. Twenty of the 120 are won through a skill-based competition — winners get Starter free for three years, then continue at the $99 founder rate. Once all 120 are taken, regular pricing of $149, $299 and $549 applies to new customers. The limit is a real number, not a countdown.

What a founder licence is

A founder licence is one of the first 120 Asteris Cart subscriptions, locked at the original price for as long as the subscription stays active — across every tier:

Starter — $99/yr, 1 site
Pro — $199/yr, 3 sites
Agency — $399/yr, 10 sites

Founders are not unpaid testers. A founder is a paying early customer whose price is protected for life and whose feedback steers what gets built next.

The 120 cap

There are exactly 120 founder licences across all tiers. When they are gone, they are gone, and Asteris Cart sells at regular pricing — $149, $299 and $549. The cap is a real, finite number, not a timer that resets on your next visit.

What a founder gets

Original pricing, locked for life. Your founder rate holds for as long as your subscription stays active. The regular prices never reach your account.

A direct line into the roadmap. Founder bug reports and feature requests feed straight into what gets built. See what’s shipped and what’s building →
A founder badge on your customer portal, marking you as one of the first 120.
Priority support at every tier.

Win one of 20. Twenty of the 120 founder licences are awarded through a skill-based competition. Winners receive Asteris Cart Starter free for three years, then continue at the $99 founder rate for as long as they keep the subscription active. Read the rules and enter →

The honest part

Asteris Cart is in active development. That is the deal, stated plainly: a checkout suite built by a small team in Australia, at a price that never rises on you, in return for your real-world feedback. There are no customer-count claims on this site yet — the 120 founders are how that number starts. When there is an honest figure to share, it will appear here, not before.

If a one-time “lifetime” licence is what you want, Asteris Cart does not sell one. A single payment cannot fund years of development or support, so the founder deal is an annual subscription you can cancel anytime, with your original rate protected the whole time you stay.

From the founder

Asteris Cart is the checkout suite Nick wished existed after years of running WooCommerce stores and paying for a stack of overlapping plugins where half the features overlapped and the other half were fake. A founder licence is the chance to back that early and never pay more for it. Read the full story →
