A revenue cap hit isn't a punishment — it's a signal that your shop has outgrown the tier you're on. The fix is the upgrade, and the upgrade takes 60 seconds. The bigger question is what to do for next year.
01 Good news in disguise
Starter is for shops under €100k/year of gross revenue. If you hit that cap in October, your business is on track for over €100k — congratulations. The cap is doing its job: signalling "you've outgrown this plan".
02 What changes when you cross it
At 100% of cap, new revenue entries are blocked. The save form returns an upgrade prompt. You can still:
- View past data — Home, P&L, Statistics all work normally.
- Log expenses — only revenue is blocked.
- Export your data.
- Reach support.
03 The upgrade path
The fix is one click: upgrade to Growth (€500k cap) or Pro (no cap). Stripe handles proration, the cap lifts immediately, and your pending revenue entry can save. See Upgrading your plan.
04 Planning forward
If you hit your cap in October this year, you'll almost certainly hit it earlier next year. Two practical implications:
- Stay on the higher plan in January. When the YTD count resets, don't downgrade back. The growth has stuck.
- Watch the runway date. If you're crossing your Starter cap in October, your Growth cap (€500k) might be October-November of next year too. Plan accordingly.
