Subscription

Last updated on

This model is ideal for predictable use and promotes long-term customer relationships. By subscribing to your product on a monthly or annual basis, customers benefit from flexible payment options and continuous value creation. This enables you as a vendor to have a stable sales base and the opportunity to build and maintain long-term customer relationships.

Billing

Section titled “Billing”

Customers purchase your product through the marketplace and select a contract model if you offer more than one. The measurement and billing of product use is initiated by program-controlled requests (API calls) of your software. As a best practice, we recommend that you configure the API to ideally send a usage message every hour. A relational diagram illustrating the ecosystem between a Customer, a Vendor, and STACKIT. The diagram consists of three white card nodes arranged in a triangular flow. On the top left, a card labeled "Customer". On the top right, a card labeled "Vendor". A horizontal dashed double-headed arrow connects them, labeled "CUSTOMER CONSUMES VENDOR'S PRODUCT". At the bottom center, a card displays the "STACKIT" logo. A solid single-headed arrow points from STACKIT up to the Customer, labeled "ORDERS A VENDOR'S PRODUCT FROM THE STACKIT MARKETPLACE".
