What is a Fixed Price with Overage Plan?
Fixed Price with Overage, is a pricing plan where an Acronis Pay-Per-Use (PPU) product, billed via external systems, has a defined pre-fixed sell price by the MSP that must be paid each month in advance from customers, regardless of the usage consumption charges returned from the external-billing system at the end of each month. More specifically, customers are charged with a pre-fixed amount either at the end or at the beginning of each month. Therefore, this pre-fixed amount is charged once in every subscription renewal. Regardless of the pre-fixed amount, customers are also charged in case the consumption is higher (Overage) than the pre-fixed paid amount when the usage consumption charges are provided by the external billing system.

The pre-fixed sell price is configured according to your commercial policy and the monthly amounts that your customers are usually charged. You are able to create one or more Fixed Price with Overage PPU products with different pre-fixed sell prices.
