Frequently asked questions

What if I have an existing ecommerce store?

Most Mortar customers already have an existing ecommerce store. When onboarding, Mortar intelligently links products in your inventory source to your existing Shopify site with no danger to your site. You will receive detailed linking report of your products to ensure everything will sync successfully.

How long does it take to set up?

Mortar takes about 20 minutes of your time to setup and 24-72 hours to complete the initial sync, depending on how many products you have in each system.

Scale plan has more options and can take longer to configure depending on your needs. Your Mortar Implementation Specialist will work with you to ensure success.

Can I change my point of sale platform?

Yes! Mortar is designed to give your business flexibility and choice. You can change platforms or upgrade.

Are there more plans?

We don't offer partial plans or feature-only options. If your stack includes an ERP or you have custom needs, they will fall under our Enterprise Plan.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes, we offer discounts for annual billing.

What is NMV?

NMV stands for Net Merchandise Volume. Mortar calculates NMV as your Shopify revenue less any returns, taxes, and shipping each month.

For example, if you receive $25,000 in Shopify revenue and $5,000 in Shopify returns in a given month, your total NMV is $20,000.

Mortar does not include sales from your integrated POS platform in your NMV - only orders that flow from Shopify are included when calculating NMV.

What if I do over $50,000/month in NMV?

Once your 90-day trailing average NMV exceeds $50,000/month, you'll move to Scale — priced in bands based on your volume. Your price only changes when your trailing average consistently crosses a threshold, so short spikes won't trigger an upgrade.

Monthly NMVPrice
Up to $50,000$249/mo
$50,001 – $100,000$375/mo
$100,001 – $250,000$550/mo
$250,001 – $500,000$1,000/mo
Over $500,000Enterprise – contact us
What happens if my NMV exceeds my plan?

Your price is based on a 90-day trailing average, so short spikes and events don’t immediately move your plan. When your trailing average consistently crosses a plan threshold, you’ll be notified with a 30-day window to adjust.
