Update post-payments monthly convert threshold
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi, fr-tech. As y'all know, we have a minimum threshold for one-time gifts under which we elect not to show monthly convert. This is always pegged as one cent below the smallest button in our ask grid. Our reasoning is that if someone chooses to go in and use the 'Other' field to give even less than our lowest suggested amount, we shouldn't pressure them to swap to a recurring gift.

Throughout Big English pre-testing, our threshold to suppress monthly convert for USD, AUD, CAD & NZD has been $2.99, bc our lowest button was $3.

But we've seen a win in re-testing $2.75 as our lowest button in these four 'dollar' countries. We're going to adopt that change in banners and have dropped our pre-payment monthly convert threshold accordingly (to $2.74, one cent less than this new low anchor).

Could you also please update USD/CAD/AUD/NZD DonationInterfaceMonthlyConvertAmounts?

  • donation <= 2.74: no monthly convert
  • everything else unchanged from before

Here's the banner edit for reference: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:FundraisingBanners/LocalizeData-2017.js#L-238

Thank you!
