The extent of the free period. Select one of the following radio buttons:
- By Quantity: The free period is based on a quantity specified in the Volume field.

- Whichever comes first: The free period ends when either the quantity in the Volume field or the time interval in the Freemium Duration field is reached, whichever happens first.
- No: This is not a Freemium plan. This is the default.
Freemium Volume
The volume of transactions (or volume pertaining to a custom attribute recorded in the transaction recording policy) for which developers are charged. The volume is measured across all products in the API package. Enter a volume number, such as 5000. This means that when developers start the plan, they are not charged for the first 5000 transactions (or for the first 5000 uses of a custom attribute-related item). This field is enabled only if you select "By Quantity" or "Whichever comes first" in the "Freemium Package?" field.
Freemium Duration
The time interval during which developers are not charged. Enter a number and select a time period, for example, 1 Month. This means that developers are not charged for 1 month following the start date of the purchased plan. This field is enabled only if you select "By Duration" or "Whichever comes first" in the "freemium Package?" field.
