Configure consulting service offer pricing and availability

  • Artículo

This article explains how to define the market availability and the pricing details for your consulting service offer in the Microsoft commercial marketplace.

Note

Consulting service offers are listing-only. Any transactions must be managed between you and your customers outside of the commercial marketplace.

Markets

In the Markets section, you select the countries or regions where your consulting service will be available.

  1. Under Markets, select the Edit markets link.
  2. In the dialog box that appears, select the market locations where you want to make your offer available. You must select a minimum of one and maximum of 141 markets.
  3. Select Save to close the dialog box.

Preview audience

When you publish or update your consulting service offer, Partner Center creates a preview version of the listing. This preview is visible only to users that have a hide key.

In the Hide Key field, enter an alphanumeric string that you’ll use to access the preview version of your offer.

Pricing (informational only)

In the Pricing section, define whether this is a free or paid offer.

For paid offers, specify whether the price is fixed or estimated. If the price is estimated, your offer description must describe what factors will affect the price.

If you chose a single country or region in the Markets section, provide the price in a currency supported for that market and select Save draft. See Geographic availability and currency support for the commercial marketplace for the list of supported currencies.

If you chose multiple countries or regions in the Markets section, provide the price in United States dollars (USD) and select Save draft. Partner Center will convert that price into the local currency of all selected markets using the exchange rates available when you saved the draft.

To validate the conversion or to set custom prices in an individual market, you need to export, modify, and then import the pricing spreadsheet:

  1. Under Pricing, select the Export pricing data link. This will download a file to your device.
  2. Open the exportedPrice.xlsx file in Microsoft Excel.
  3. In the spreadsheet, you can adjust prices and currencies for each market. See Geographic availability and currency support for the commercial marketplace for the list of supported currencies. When you're done, save the file.
  4. In Partner Center, under Pricing, select the Import pricing data link. Importing the file will overwrite previous pricing information.

Note

Offers will be billed to customers in the customers’ agreement currency, using the local market price that was published at the time the offer was created. The amount that customers pay, and that ISVs are paid, depends on the Foreign Exchange rates at the time the customer transacts the offer. Learn more on "How we convert currency?".

Important

The prices you define in Partner Center are static and don't follow variations in the exchange rates. To change the price in one or more markets after publication, update and resubmit your offer in Partner Center.

Select Save draft before continuing.
