Common Questions
Can I use Self-Service Plans + High-Ticket Shield together?
No. These are mutually exclusive base products. High-Ticket Shield replaces Self-Service Plans (it includes all Self-Service features plus white-glove service). Choose one or the other based on your service level needs.
Can I add AI Detection to High-Ticket Shield?
AI Detection is a standalone bundle that includes CertNode Platform features. High-Ticket Shield and Enterprise customers who need AI detection can contact sales@certnode.io for custom integration—we'll incorporate AI detection into your managed service plan.
What's the difference between High-Ticket Shield and Enterprise?
High-Ticket Shield: For single merchants with $1M-10M GMV. Three tiers: Standard ($25K), Elite ($50K), Premium ($100K+). White-glove setup, dedicated support, priced by revenue.
Enterprise: For marketplaces and multi-tenant platforms (50K+ merchants). Custom engineering, multi-tenant architecture, priced by scale. Starting at $100K/year.
Do all products include the Tri-Pillar System?
Yes! Every product includes Transaction + Content + Operations receipts + Receipt Graph. This forms court-admissible provenance chains. The difference between products is pricing model (receipt volume vs GMV vs custom) and service level (self-service vs managed vs custom engineering).
Can I start with Self-Service Plans and upgrade later?
Yes! You can upgrade within Self-Service tiers (Starter → Professional → Business) anytime. If you need to switch to High-Ticket Shield or Enterprise later, contact sales@certnode.io and we'll help migrate your data.
