How to auto upgrade in LocateStore?

LocateStore offers a variety of subscription plans tailored to meet different needs. While the standard plans are fixed at $24 and $49 per month, there may be instances where your site experiences higher traffic than anticipated. To address this, LocateStore provides an Auto Upgrade option, ensuring that your service remains uninterrupted and efficient, even during unexpected surges in map visits and searches.

What is the Auto Upgrade Option?

The Auto Upgrade option is designed for users who prefer not to monitor their usage manually and would like an automated system to handle unexpected increases in traffic. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that experience variable traffic and want to ensure a seamless user experience without the administrative burden of constantly checking and adjusting their plan.

How It Works

When you opt for the Auto Upgrade feature, LocateStore will monitor your usage. As you approach the limit of your current plan, the system will automatically upgrade your account to accommodate an additional 5,000 map visits. This increment adds $35 to your monthly billing for each upgrade.

Benefits of Auto Upgrade

  • Peace of Mind: Automatically upgrading ensures you never run out of resources, which can be crucial for maintaining the functionality of your services during peak times.

  • Cost-Effective: Only pay for additional resources when they are needed. The Auto Upgrade activates only as you near your plan's limit.

  • Seamless User Experience: Prevents service interruptions or slowdowns that could affect user interaction with your site.

When to Consider Using Auto Upgrade

  • Seasonal Traffic: If your business experiences seasonal peaks, such as holiday sales for retail, the Auto Upgrade can adjust your capacity based on changing traffic without manual intervention.

  • Growing Businesses: For businesses scaling up, traffic can be unpredictable. Auto Upgrade adapts to your growth dynamically, ensuring that scaling issues do not hinder user experience.

  • Event-Driven Spikes: If you host events or promotions that might cause sudden increases in site traffic, Auto Upgrade ensures that your service can handle the surge effortlessly.
