Activation of Storefront v.4 BETA

Microsoft Office 365 Trials

Microsoft allows their partners to to offer a 30-day free trial to customers who wish to evaluate O365 Premium, E3, E5 and other plans and can convert these customers to a paid subscription at the end of the free period. This release includes the first version of our Microsoft trials implementation where fully automates the offering of free trials to your customers via your Storefront. Our first version includes:

1. Automatic management of available trials. The "Get Services Definitions" process  enables automatically the trial option to the corresponding Office 365 plans.
2. Ordering of trials is now available in your Storefront. The "Try service" option will be available to all the plans that Microsoft allows free trial for 30 days.
3. Upgrade of a trial subscription to a paid via your Storefront. 
4. Trials are available for your tenant resellers and country tenants. Through the "Update Tenant" process your tenants system will also be updated with the available Office 365 trials.

Our system complies with the rules Microsoft follows for the trials since the following business rules are enforced from our system:

1. Free trials do not automatically convert to paid. The customer must manually upgrade the subscription to a paid subscription.
2. A customer cannot get two or more trials for the same Office 365 plan
3. If a customer has a paid subscription, he cannot get a trial for the same plan
4. If a customer has a trial subscription he cannot purchase the same plan. He must upgrade his trial subscription to a paid subscription

What's next?

In the next releases we will also support the following:

1. Improvements for the upgrade process for your customers to be able to select the licenses and the add-ons they want.
2. A BSS user to create a trial subscription 
3. A BSS user to upgrade a trial subscription to a paid subscription
