Per-order WMS pricing

Per-order WMS pricing is the dominant model for DTC brand and small 3PL fulfillment in 2026. Logiwa IO and ShipHero both charge per shipped order. Crossover with per-user SaaS typically falls at 50K-100K monthly orders.

[SKU-A / BANDS]

Order volume bands

  • 10K monthly orders: SMB cloud SaaS usually beats per-order on net dollars.
  • 50K monthly orders: per-order pulls level or ahead, depending on per-user count.
  • 200K monthly orders: per-order is at the band-jump threshold and warrants re-tiering.
  • 500K+ monthly orders: most per-order vendors push the contract to a flat-rate enterprise SKU.
[SKU-B / OVERAGE]

Tier-jump rules

Most per-order vendors define hard tier caps (e.g. 50K, 100K, 200K orders/mo). Overage is billed at the marginal per-order rate of the next tier; tier-jumps re-tier the base platform fee. Read the contract for stacked-month vs single-month trigger logic.[s-13][s-14]

[SKU-C / WHO]

Vendors on per-order

Logiwa IO (per-order plus per-client) and ShipHero (per-order plus brand tier). Extensiv is off this list as of 22 September 2026: it publishes no pricing page at all, so we cannot say what its metering model is.[s-12] Manhattan and Blue Yonder are not per-order at the WMS layer.

[SKU-FAQ]

Buyer questions

When does usage-based blow past flat-rate?

Past 200K orders if the per-order rate stays at the SMB tier. Past 500K orders almost always - the vendor will push you to an enterprise flat-rate SKU.

Are returns counted as orders?

Vendor-by-vendor. Some count returns as new orders, some treat them as in-bound only. Read the metering definition before you sign.
