Question 1 of 2 · Multiple choice

An enterprise customer has three subsidiaries in different countries. They want one consolidated invoice going to headquarters. Which of the following is a genuine risk to evaluate before activating Invoice Rollup across all three?

Invoice Rollup will cancel existing subscriptions on child accounts

Invoice Rollup is not available on any Recurly plan

When children have different shipping addresses, Recurly taxes each line item by shipping destination — which may create multi-jurisdiction tax complexity

Invoice Rollup requires the merchant to rebuild all subscription plans

See answer

Multi-jurisdiction tax complexity. When Invoice Rollup is active and child accounts have different shipping addresses, Recurly taxes each line item based on its shipping destination. For subsidiaries in different countries, this means each subsidiary's charges are taxed at their local rate — which may create compliance complexity that the customer's tax team needs to review before activation. Invoice Rollup also requires the Elite plan and support team activation, so plan lead time into the enterprise onboarding timeline.

Question 2 of 2 · Reflection

Look at your current billing setup. Which of the six capabilities covered in this path — segmentation, hierarchy, usage billing, hybrid pricing, advanced currency, or advanced analytics — is most likely to unlock meaningful value for your business in the next 12 months?

For each one you're considering: what is the specific problem it solves, what is the engineering or operational dependency that would need to be in place first, and who else in your organization would need to be aligned before you could activate it? Bringing concrete answers to these questions to a Global Office Hours session is a good use of 30 minutes with a CSM.
