Private Offer Onboarding & Pricing Guide

How it works

1. 1Negotiate a price with the customer
2. 2Create a private offer in Partner Center
3. 3Customer accepts and pays in Azure
4. 4Activate on the Legale.io landing page
5. 5Microsoft bills the customer and pays you

Prerequisites

• The Legale.io SaaS offer is live on Microsoft Marketplace.
• A public Enterprise plan is published. Private offers require a publicly transactable plan.
• You have the customer’s Billing account ID and negotiated price.

What is already live — do not recreate

Your Marketplace offer is published. Use these existing values for every private offer.

Before you create a private offer

Collect the following from the customer through the sales or account team:

• Company name
• Negotiated price
• Contract term — the Marketplace plan uses 1-year / one-time
• Accept-by date
• Billing account ID — required
• Buyer contact email
• Confirmation that their Azure subscription is not CSP

How the customer finds the Billing account ID

In the Azure portal, go to:

Cost Management + Billing → open the billing account → Properties → copy the Billing account ID

Pricing rules

• Negotiate first. The agreed deal price is configured on the private offer.
• One offer per deal. Create one private offer for each customer deal.
• Match the term. Private-offer term must match the public plan: 1-year / one-time.
• Short accept-by date. Ensures outdated quotations expire.
• Microsoft bills the customer. Do not invoice Marketplace purchases directly.
• Website tiers stay separate. Individual, Professional, and Business remain outside Microsoft Marketplace.
