For example, 25 paid + 25 free does not qualify \u2014 you must select 50 <strong data-start=\"1913\" data-end=\"1921\">paid<\/strong> stores or more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"1972\"><strong data-start=\"1947\" data-end=\"1970\">Existing Paid Users<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2149\">Your current subscription remains active and unaffected. The new 50-store minimum will only apply <strong data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2106\">if you change your subscription<\/strong> or add more paid stores after <strong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2148\">July 15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2156\" data-end=\"2192\">Can I Add More Than 50 Stores?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2414\">Yes, absolutely! Once you\u2019ve met the 50-store minimum, you\u2019re free to add <strong data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2303\">any number of additional stores<\/strong>. Every additional paid store will be charged at the same rate accros the plans and there\u2019s no upper limit.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2736\">Why This Change Matters<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"2909\">We know that publishers depend on fresh, accurate, and reliable coupon feeds.
