Starting your Spiffy Stores Trial

Once you sign up for a Spiffy Store, you are given a trial period in which to try out the software. During this trial period, you can cancel at any time without charge.

Trial Plan Limitations

There are a few limitations on your store during this trial period. You are only permitted a maximum of 10 orders. Also, some features such as Email Accounts are not available until the trial period ends.

Length of Trial Plan

We offer a 30-day trial plan with each new Spiffy Stores signup. As your Spiffy Store is billed on a calendar month basis, this means that your trial period is calculated on a calendar month basis and the actual trial period may extend from 28 to 31 days according to the month in which you sign up.

Trial Plan Verification

When you submit your request for a Spiffy Stores Trial Plan, you will be sent a Verification Email.


Email Verification Example


You should receive this email within a few moments of submitting your signup request. However, it may sometimes take an hour or more for this message to arrive if your Internet Service Provider has implemented particular forms of SPAM protection mechanisms.

In any case, you should always check your own SPAM scanning software and make sure that this email has not ended up in your Junk Mail folder.

When you click on the link to verify your email address, your request will be submitted to our systems for automated verification. For most customers, this will mean that your new Spiffy Store will be created within a few minutes. If there are any problems or delays in processing your order, you will be sent a notification email to inform you of the delay.

You will be sent a reminder that you have not submitted your email verification 24 hours after your initial signup. If you have still not submitted your email verification after a further 24 hours, then your signup request will be cancelled, and your Spiffy Store will not be created.

Accessing your Trial Plan for the First Time

When your Spiffy Store is created, you will be sent a Welcome email, containing general information about your new store and a link that you need to use to access the store for the first time.


Welcome Email Example

You must follow the "Logging on for the First Time" instructions in order to access your store. This procedure is necessary to enable you to set your account password in a secure fashion, which in turn protects your new store from unauthorized access.

When you click on the link, you should see a page like this -
