Billing Frequency in Storefront

Once a Storefront user lands on the Add to Basket page with any Microsoft NCE product, and the chosen unit is 12 months or more, a new option named Billing Plan appears (if enabled) beside the name of the selected product. Here, the Storefront user can choose the Billing Frequency in installments that they wish to pay with this product. In this example, the user has selected to pay with installments of 12 equal monthly payments instead of paying the full annual product price all at once.

Once the Proceed to checkout button is clicked, the Storefront user lands on the My Basket page, where the first payment amount in a banner under the order item shows the first invoice amount. The section below also contains the number of installments, as well as the installment amount.

Open

When the Storefront user has selected for whom this order item is for and clicks on the Checkout button, the checkout process continues normally without displaying any other Billing Frequency elements.

Once the checkout process is completed, only the first installment is charged, and that is also evident from the first invoice.

Additionally, all the subscriptions that have been purchased with a Billing Plan (installments), can be seen on the Storefront subscription list page since a new column, named Billing Plan, has been added to display the Billing Plan of each subscription, as depicted by the following screenshot.

• As you can witness, the Buy Licenses option is available even for subscriptions that are bought with installments. Likewise, the partial cancellation (reduction in licenses) is also available. However, the partial cancellation of licenses from a subscription with installments can be done by utilizing only the immediate execution type, as illustrated in the below screenshot.

Additionally, by clicking on the Excel icon in the upper-right part of the screen, you can witness on the exported XLS file that the Subscription list also has the Billing Plan column.

Viewing the Billing Plan of an Order in Storefront

On every Microsoft order item, the Billing Plan column is visible on its view page. It is a view-only column.

If the Billing Plan is Monthly, it means that the order item is purchased with installments, whereas when the Billing Plan is empty (contains a dash), then it means that the order item is purchased with a one-off charge.

Viewing the Billing Plan of Subscriptions in Storefront

Under the Subscriptions List view page the Billing Plan column is visible and it displays the Billing Plans that each subscription has. More specifically:

If the Billing Plan is Monthly, it means that the subscription is purchased with installments whereas when the Billing Plan is empty (contains a dash), then it means that the subscription is purchased with a one-off charge.

Viewing the Billing Plan Extra Charge in Storefront

On every Microsoft order and subscription in Storefront, the Billing Plan Extra Charge is applied on the respective view page once the Billing Plan is enabled and the Extra Charge is configured by the distributor.
