cost_model:
  type: platform-subscription
  notes: >
    PrestaShop's API is not priced independently — it is included at no additional
    cost with all PrestaShop plans. Costs are based on the platform plan chosen
    (Classic is free/self-hosted; Hosted is a monthly subscription; Enterprise is
    custom PaaS pricing). API usage itself does not generate additional charges.
