I. Understanding Resource Limits



1. What Are Resource Limits



Resource limits define how much you can use specific Transcy features within your current subscription plan. These limits exist across our core functionalities:

Machine Translation: Number of products you can translate automatically
Auto Update Translation: Frequency and volume of automatic translation updates
Replace Image: Number of images you can localize for different markets
Glossary Rules: Custom translation rules you can create for brand consistency

2. When You Need More Resources



As your business grows internationally, you might find yourself needing more than your current plan offers. Rather than forcing you into a higher-tier plan that might include features you don't need, Transcy allows you to extend specific resource limits to create a custom plan perfectly tailored to your needs.

II. How to Extend Your Resource Limits



1. Checking Your Current Usage



Before extending your limits, it's crucial to understand your current usage patterns:

Navigate to the Usage section in your Transcy dashboard
Review your consumption across all features
Identify which resources you're approaching the limits on
Plan ahead for your expected growth

This insight helps you make informed decisions about which resources to extend and by how much.

2. Scaling Up Your Quota



When you're ready to extend your limits:

Option 1: From the Usage Section
Click the Scale up your quota button next to any feature you want to extend
Enter the additional resource quantity you need
Review the pricing breakdown
Click Renew subscription

Option 2: From the Pricing Page
Navigate to your current plan
Click the Extend limit button
Select the resources you want to expand
Proceed with the upgrade

3. Payment and Billing Process



Once you've configured your resource extensions:

You'll be redirected to Shopify's billing page
Review your new custom plan pricing
Approve the charge to activate your extended limits
Your new resources become available immediately

IV. Managing Your Custom Plan



1. Understanding Custom Plan Pricing



Your custom plan pricing follows a simple formula:

Total Monthly Cost = Base Plan Price + Additional Resource Costs

For example:
Current Premium Plan: $59.90/month
Additional Machine Translation: $7.90
Additional Auto Update: $1.00
Additional Replace Image: $1.00
Additional Glossary Rules: $17.90
Total Custom Plan: $87.70/month

2. Switching Between Plans



You maintain full flexibility with your subscription:

Upgrading: Add more resources anytime as your business grows
Downgrading: Return to standard plans, though usage will be limited to the new plan's restrictions

Important Note: When downgrading, standard Shopify billing rules apply for plan changes within billing cycles.

3. Trial Period Considerations



During your 7-day free trial:
You can create custom plans with extended resources
Billing begins after the trial period ends
You'll be charged for your custom plan configuration

This allows you to test your ideal resource configuration risk-free.
