Questions.
How does the $1 = 10,000 Credits pricing model work across all 13 endpoints?
ShopData API uses one transparent ledger where $1.00 = 10,000 Credits. Marketplace search and buyer review endpoints (/v1/amazon/search, /v1/walmart/search, /v1/etsy/search, /v1/1688/search, /v1/taobao/search, /v1/shopee/search, /v1/tiktok-shop/search, /v1/amazon/reviews, /v1/etsy/reviews) cost 2 Credits per returned item ($0.20 per 1,000 items nominal, or $0.08 per 1,000 items on the $199/mo Business plan). Deep ASIN, SKU matrix, and 1688 MOQ ladder detail calls (/v1/amazon/product, /v1/walmart/product, /v1/1688/item, /v1/taobao/item) cost 10 Credits per product ($0.40–$1.00 per 1,000 products). Empty searches and HTTP errors always cost 0 Credits.
Should I start with the $9 Indie Starter Pack, a Monthly Plan, or a PAYG Credit Pack?
Every new account receives 12,000 free credits ($1.20) instantly plus up to +$2.00 (+20,000 credits) via the Developer Sandbox Streak. When ready to ship, solo builders love the $9 Indie Starter Micro-Pack (90,000 non-expiring credits, 60 RPM). High-volume teams choose Monthly Subscriptions ($19 Starter / 250k, $69 Pro / 1.2M, $199 Business / 5M credits) for +31% to +151% bonus credits, or larger PAYG Packs ($25 / 250k, $89 / 1.05M, $249 / 3.5M) that never expire.
How does ShopData API compare to Rainforest API ($0.01–$0.02/req), Keepa, and Amazon PA-API 5.0?
Rainforest API charges $0.01 to $0.02 per single Amazon request ($10–$20 per 1,000 calls) and only covers Amazon. Keepa locks commercial API access behind €49–€1,299/mo token subscriptions without Walmart, Etsy, or 1688 sourcing data. Official Amazon PA-API 5.0 revokes access unless your Associates account continuously generates qualifying referral sales and throttles new keys to 1 TPS. ShopData API requires zero affiliate approvals, delivers Amazon + Walmart + Etsy + TikTok Shop + Shopee + 1688 + Taobao in one normalized JSON schema, and cuts unit costs by 90%+ ($0.08–$0.20 per 1,000 search items, $0.40–$1.00 per 1,000 ASIN details).
Am I charged when a search returns 0 products, an ASIN is 404, or an upstream call fails?
Never. ShopData API enforces a strict Charge-Before-Return & Zero-Charge-on-Error policy: 0-result searches, 404 unknown ASIN/item lookups, HTTP 400 validation errors, HTTP 429 rate-limit responses, and HTTP 5xx upstream errors all deduct 0 Credits.
What are the RPM rate limits and concurrency tiers?
Free Trial accounts include 12,000 Credits at 30 RPM (2 RPS). Paid accounts unlock smooth production concurrency: 60 RPM / 3 RPS ($9 Indie Pack), 120 RPM / 4 RPS (Starter $19/mo or $25 PAYG), 300 RPM / 8 RPS (Pro $69/mo or $89 PAYG), and 600 RPM / 15 RPS (Business $199/mo or $249 PAYG). Need 1,000+ RPM? Contact us for a Dedicated Enterprise Key Pool.
What payment methods and corporate invoices are supported?
We support both instant Stripe Checkout (Credit/Debit Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link — with downloadable PDF receipts and corporate EU VAT / Tax ID billing profiles) and 0%-fee Cryptocurrency via NOWPayments (USDT, USDC, SOL, BTC, BNB across Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon, BSC, Tron, and Ethereum) which automatically grants +5% Bonus Credits.
What is your refund policy?
Payments made within the last 14 days are eligible for a pro-rated refund of unused purchased credits. Promotional signup and streak credits have no cash value.
