Three questions covering the decisions that matter most from this path.

Question 1 of 3 · Multiple choice

You have 25 subscribers on a volume-priced add-on. The tiers are: $10/unit for 1–20 units, $8/unit for 21+ units. How much does a subscriber with 25 units pay?

See answer
$200 — all 25 units at $8. Volume pricing applies the rate of the highest tier reached to all units, not just those above the threshold. This is what distinguishes it from tiered pricing, where units 1–20 would bill at $10 and units 21–25 at $8 (totalling $210).
Question 2 of 3 · Multiple choice

You enable GBP on your Recurly site but don't add a GBP price to any plans. What happens when a UK subscriber tries to sign up?

See answer
The subscriber cannot sign up. Recurly does not perform currency conversion. Enabling a currency on your site is only the first step — you must also add a price for that currency to each plan you want to sell in it. Plans without a price defined for a given currency are unavailable to subscribers in that currency.
Question 3 of 3 · Multiple choice

Which plan setting cannot be changed after the plan is created?

See answer
Billing interval. Once a plan is saved, the billing interval is permanent — changing it would affect the billing cycle of all active subscribers on that plan. Plan name, trial duration, and end-of-term behavior can all be updated after creation. Pricing model is also permanent; if you need a different pricing model, create a new plan.

Something to think about

Question 1 of 1 · Reflection

Looking at your current plan setup, which single decision do you think most directly affects your conversion or retention right now — and what would you change first?

Consider your billing interval mix, pricing model, trial configuration, and what your analytics are telling you. There's usually one lever that has the most leverage at any given stage.
