  FinOps profile for Ordoro API usage cost management. Ordoro pricing is
  subscription-based with usage-based overages tied to order and label volume.
  API access is gated to Premium-tier plans. Cost optimization centers on
  right-sizing the subscription tier to actual order/label volume and monitoring
  overage triggers.

      Monitor monthly order, label, and dropshipment volumes relative to plan limits
      to anticipate overage charges. Use Ordoro's advanced analytics features (available
      on Advanced and Premium plans) to track API-driven activity. The Ordoro status page
      at ordoro.statuspage.io provides uptime visibility.
    actions:
      - Track label count vs. 100/3,000 tier limits for Shipping plans
      - Track order count vs. 1,000 limit for Inventory/Dropshipping plans
      - Monitor for 429 rate-limit errors to detect high-frequency API usage

  - name: Optimization
    description: >
      Right-size plan selection based on actual monthly volume. Batch API requests
      where possible to stay within the 500 req/min rate limit and avoid throttling
      delays. Evaluate bundled multi-app pricing versus individual app costs when
      using more than one Ordoro product.
    actions:
      - Upgrade from Shipping Advanced to Premium only when label volume consistently exceeds 3,000/month
      - Evaluate bundled pricing when using two or more Ordoro apps
      - Use pagination (limit/offset) efficiently to minimize request volume on list endpoints
      - Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses to avoid wasteful retry storms
