Release notes:
Subscription Prices API
Subscription prices API allows you to get prices for each subscription. A lightweight alternative to retrieving full subscription details for when you only need to display the price in your webshop, ERP or another system.
Improved Product Configuration
AppXite platform has long allowed all vendors to package together any number of service components into one pricing plan. Each component can have its own quantity the customer configures individually - units of hardware, software license seats, amount of storage or bandwidth, etc.
Meanwhile, end customers and sales teams still need to see "quantity" in cart, reports and other places that help check or track the configuration of their subscriptions. In this update, we are adding the quantity field to the cart for all NCE offers. This should help you ensure that the main part of the configuration is correct right before you place your order.
As part of our future roadmap, we are planning to release a more robust and universal solution that connects the configurability needs of vendors and the ease of use end-customers continue to expect.
Detailed Granularity for Charges in Invoices
AppXite platform by default consolidates pro-rated charges into a single billing line item. With the introduction of detailed billing line item functionality users have the flexibility to leverage a simplified view when managing billing at scale and to keep information condensed and readable on invoices. In case customers have specific questions about how a specific billing line item was calculated it is possible to view those details in the platform.
For example, for subscriptions with quantity change, Vendor would typically generate 4 pro-rated billing line items, which are consolidated into 1 by AppXite. Thus when operating with a large number of customers it becomes easy to achieve a robust overview of charges applicable to the Seller or Customer. With the flexibility to show detailed billing line items, it is still easy to provide details for charges with exact Charge Date and Charge Types as specified by Vendor.
