Understanding customer currency exchange rates for purchases
Marketplace purchasing and Azure alignment
Purchases through the marketplace align to Azure billing for customers with either a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) or an Enterprise Agreement (EA). You can also buy directly with your credit card or activate your Azure subscription for the solution you are buying for through a Microsoft Online Services Program. For credit card purchasing through Microsoft AppSource, see this article.
Marketplace-supported currencies
The marketplace supports 16 currencies for the partner solutions available in the catalog. Microsoft sources exchange rates directly from the WMR exchange rates (4:00 PM London WM/Refinitiv) every month, two business days before the first day of the month.
Your billing currency refers to the currency specified in your organization’s customer agreement (for customers with either an EA or MCA). The legal address that your organization provided at the time of signing up for your account determines your billing geography and currency.
Marketplace offers are displayed in local market currency. If the local market currency does not match your billing currency, the offer is converted to the billing currency at the time of invoicing. The exchange rate for each payment is the rate in effect during the month in which the charge was incurred.
See the table below to understand what currency is supported for your billing address. Separate agreements such as Microsoft Azure consumption commitments (MACCs) may result in differences between market currency and billing currency. Regions not listed are not supported by the marketplace.
