You've completed Global payments expansion

You now have a framework for the three decisions that come up in almost every market-entry conversation: who sells the transaction, how customers pay, and what to check before launch. Test yourself below, then use the resources to go deeper on any topic.

Check your understanding

Question 1 of 2 · Multiple choice

A merchant wants to expand into a market with unfamiliar VAT rules and doesn't want to own tax compliance directly. Which model shifts that liability off their books?

See answer
Merchant of record. A merchant of record takes on tax calculation, collection, and remittance on the merchant's behalf, along with chargeback and fraud liability — at the cost of the MoR's name appearing on the customer's statement.
Question 2 of 2 · Multiple choice

True or false: enabling a local currency in Recurly automatically enables the local payment methods associated with that market.

See answer
False. Currency and payment method are separate configurations. Each local payment method needs its own setup at the gateway and plan level, even if the currency it runs on is already enabled.
Question 1 of 1 · Reflection

Which of the three decisions in this path comes up first for the market you're planning to enter next?

Local acquiring vs. merchant of record, currency and payment methods, or compliance and language. What's the one thing you still need to find out before you can make that call?
