Release Notes 73
A major update is coming to vendors and MSPs! As a vendor or an MSP, you can now fully onboard your services via a complete end-to-end self-service:
1. Create your own products, offers, and add-ons
2. Create bundles with services of other vendors
3. Define pricing (major upgrades too, see below)
4. Create checkout forms for the customer to configure the service and provide all details required for provisioning
5. Publish your services and see them in the catalog
6. Manage them in the catalog as usual
7. Receive all necessary provisioning details by email after purchase
8. Update order status
To gain access to these tools please:
• Request access to product management capabilities by contacting support@appxite.com (available under select Platform plans: Vendor Direct, Distributor, and Seller/MSP Professional).
• Give your employees a Product Manager role (an ex-Offer Portfolio Manager role under a new name and with extra permissions to manage your services).
Pricing plans
Major upgrades to pricing! Starting with this update, you can create:
1. A service with fixed pricing.
2. A service with advanced pricing (a.k.a. a pricing plan).
a. A service with tiered pricing (different unit prices for different quantity brackets).
b. A service that includes several components, each with a different billing cycle (for
example monthly + yearly, one-time fee + monthly, etc).
c. A service with variants or optional components that affect the price based on customer’s preference.
We are actively developing further upgrades to pricing plans to support much more complex
pricing models like long-term commitments, consumption-based pricing, and more. You will hear
more news in the upcoming releases.
Other notable changes are:
