How does the free trial work?
Every newly approved dealer gets a free Premium trial: 2 months for our first 50 founding dealers, 1 month after that. You save a card through PayFast (R0 today), and the first charge is on the 1st after your trial ends. Change plan or cancel before then and you pay nothing.
Can I change plan later?
Yes, any time from your dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately, with the difference for the rest of the month charged pro rata. Downgrades take effect from your next billing date.
What if I use up my free listings on the Free plan?
Your 5 free listings reset on the 1st of every month. In between, add more for R39 each, or upgrade to Pro for 25 active listings.
What are Deals & Specials?
Mini adverts for sales, specials and catalogues ("9mm range ammo, R299 a box of 50"), with photos. They show on your storefront's Deals tab and in the scrolling reel on the Gun X homepage. Free gets 1 a month, Pro 10 and Premium 30.
What happens if a card payment fails?
We email you straight away and give you 48 hours. Your dashboard shows an "Update my card" button that takes you to PayFast. If it's still unpaid after 48 hours, your account moves to the Free plan: your 5 newest listings stay live and the rest are archived, never deleted. Pay what's owed or subscribe again and they all come back.
Who can see my listings?
Anyone browsing Gun X. Buyers contact you through Request a Quote, WhatsApp or a call from your storefront and listings. Premium listings rank above the others in search and category results.
Who sees my documents?
Gun X only lists licensed dealers. Your SAPS dealer licence, business registration and ID are checked by the Gun X team before approval. They are kept private: never shown on your storefront, never published and never shared with buyers. Buyers only see that you are a vetted dealer. Keep your licence dates current to keep your listings live.
How do I pay?
Subscriptions and extras are paid by card through PayFast, South Africa's leading payment gateway. Gun X never sees or stores your card details.
