I want to create a couple of pricing plans with enforced limits, for example less that 1000 products in catalog. What is the way to create such pricing plans using Wix infrastructure without externall billing services.

Hi @little zinc I'm not sure what your app does, but:
You can manage usage limits by connecting your app to Wix Pricing Plans through your app dashboard. Within your app, simply track the number of products and compare it against the plan’s defined limit. If the user is within their plan, everything works normally. If they exceed the limit, block the action and prompt them to upgrade to a higher plan.

In steps:

Use Wix Pricing Plans to set usage thresholds (e.g., 100 products for Basic, 1,000 for Pro).
Each time a user creates a product, validate their current usage against their plan limit.
If the limit is exceeded, block the action and display an upgrade prompt.

Okay, but what if they chose a plan that already doesn’t fit them. Should I still block and if they ask give them refund? And regarding update prompt. My app right now has a single site plugin displayed on product page, should I show the prompt there, so that even their site users could see it? That is more like a question of best practices

Freetrial might be a good option to avoid the pain of refunds

Users can upgrade their plan to a bigger plan at any point (downgrading isn't possible though)

I want to show "Upgrade to premium" in my plugin, when in editor or preview mode, but I can't get the App Instance object when in editor enviroment. How do i do that? @twin olive @tacit hornet

have you checked the docs? https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/pricing-and-billing/the-app-purchase-lifecycle-in-wix#how-to-check-if-the-user-installed-a-free-version-of-the-app

Yes I have, the thing is you can not call Get App Instance SDK method when a plugin is displayed in editor or preview.

If it's blocks, you can use https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/velo-only-apis/wix-application/get-decoded-app-instance

Get Decoded App Instance | Velo

Gets the Wix Blocks App data as a decoded Json Web Token (JWT) object. The getDecodedAppInstance() function returns a Promise that resolves to an object with data about the installation of your app on a specific site.
