Set Up One-Time App Pricing in GoHighLevel

If you manage SaaS products in platforms like ClickUp and want to sell them inside the GoHighLevel marketplace, understanding the one-time pricing model is essential. This guide walks you step by step through enabling and configuring one-time pricing for your app so you can launch paid offerings quickly and correctly.

The one-time model in the app marketplace lets you charge a single, upfront fee for access to your app. Once purchased by an agency account, that app becomes permanently available within the account without recurring charges.

What the GoHighLevel One-Time Pricing Model Does

The one-time pricing option in GoHighLevel is designed for products that do not require ongoing subscription billing. Instead of monthly or yearly renewals, the agency pays once and keeps access to the app.

Key characteristics of the one-time model include:

• A fixed, single payment for the app.
• No automated renewals or recurring charges.
• Permanent access for the purchasing agency account.
• App visibility and installation controlled through the marketplace.

This model is ideal for standalone utilities, templates, or tools that deliver value without needing continuous updates billed on a recurring schedule.

Prerequisites Before Configuring GoHighLevel One-Time Pricing

Before you set up one-time pricing in the GoHighLevel marketplace, ensure you have the following in place:

• An active GoHighLevel account with access to the App Marketplace builder environment.
• An app already created or in draft, ready to be configured for marketplace distribution.
• Clear understanding of your one-time price, currency, and any internal policies around refunds or upgrades.

Once these basics are ready, you can move into the actual configuration process.

How to Enable the One-Time Model in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to enable the one-time pricing model for your marketplace app inside GoHighLevel. The exact labels and buttons may vary slightly depending on UI updates, but the flow remains consistent.

Step 1: Open Your App in the GoHighLevel Marketplace Builder

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account with the appropriate permissions.
2. Navigate to the App Marketplace or App Builder area.
3. Locate the app you want to configure and click to open its settings or editing screen.

Make sure you are working on the correct app, especially if you manage multiple listings.

Step 2: Access the App Pricing or Monetization Settings

1. Within the app configuration, find the section labeled Pricing, Monetization, or similar.
2. Open this section to view the pricing models that are available to your app.

At this stage, you will typically choose between subscription-based options and the one-time model.

Step 3: Select the One-Time Model in GoHighLevel

1. In the pricing model list, locate the One-Time option.
2. Select or enable the one-time pricing model for your app.

Once enabled, this tells GoHighLevel that agencies will pay a single price to access your app, rather than being billed on a recurring basis.

Step 4: Configure One-Time Pricing Details

After turning on the one-time option, you must define the specific payment details:

1. Set the price: Enter the exact amount you want to charge as a one-time fee.
2. Choose the currency: Confirm the currency that will be used for transactions.
3. Optional descriptions: Add clear descriptions or notes so agencies know what they receive for the one-time payment.

Keep your explanations concise and value-focused to help agencies quickly understand the benefits of purchasing your app.

Creating and Managing GoHighLevel One-Time Plans

Within the one-time model, you may be able to create different plans or tiers that agencies can choose from. This lets you offer variations of your app at different price points.

Step 5: Add One-Time Plans or Tiers

1. In the pricing section, look for an option like Add Plan or Create Tier.
2. Create one or more plans with specific names, descriptions, and prices.
3. Indicate that each plan is billed as a one-time charge, not a subscription.

Examples of one-time plans might include:

• Standard License: Base features with a single upfront payment.
• Pro License: Additional features or integrations at a higher one-time price.
• Agency Bundle: Expanded usage rights or extra assets included in a single purchase.

Step 6: Define Access and Usage Rules in GoHighLevel

Once plans are created, clarify what each one-time plan unlocks inside GoHighLevel:

• Which features become active after purchase.
• Which sub-accounts or users can access the app.
• Any limits, such as number of installs or seats, associated with a given plan.

These rules should align with how your app functions so that agencies see predictable behavior after they pay the one-time fee.

Testing and Publishing Your GoHighLevel One-Time App

Before making your app publicly available in the GoHighLevel marketplace, it is critical to test the purchase and installation experience from an agency perspective.

Step 7: Test the Purchase Flow

1. Use a test or staging account to open the marketplace listing for your app.
2. Confirm that the one-time price and any plan options appear as expected.
3. Walk through a full purchase to ensure billing, confirmation, and app activation work correctly.

Check for any unclear messaging around the fact that the payment is one-time and not recurring, and refine your app description if needed.

Step 8: Review Compliance and Documentation

Before final publication:

• Ensure your app description accurately reflects the one-time nature of the payment.
• Verify that refund or support policies are documented and easy to find.
• Confirm that any terms required by GoHighLevel are properly acknowledged.

If necessary, coordinate with your legal or compliance team to make sure your one-time pricing and copy comply with relevant policies.

Step 9: Publish the App in the GoHighLevel Marketplace

1. Return to the app builder section.
2. Confirm all pricing, descriptions, and media assets are complete.
3. Submit or publish your app to the marketplace.

Once live, agencies can purchase access with a single payment and begin using your app immediately within their accounts.

Best Practices for Selling One-Time Apps in GoHighLevel

To maximize conversions and customer satisfaction with your one-time app pricing, consider these best practices:

• Highlight lifetime access: Clearly state that the charge is a one-time payment and there are no renewals.
• Show clear value: Emphasize outcomes, saved time, or revenue potential from using your app.
• Offer support details: Explain what kind of support or updates buyers receive after purchase.
• Use screenshots and demos: Include visuals and, if available, short videos that show the app in action.
