Creating a Pay-per-Use SaaS Specification and Adding a Package

Creating a Pay-per-Use SaaS Specification

Perform the following steps when specifying a specification on the Enter Service Information page.

  1. Set Pricing Template to Pay-per-use.

  2. Set Metering Mode to Pay-per-use.

  3. Click Add Billing Factor next to Billing Mode. Select a billing factor and click OK.

  4. Set Billing Cycle, Price Mode, and Accumulation Cycle for the billing factor.

    • Billing Cycle: For example, if the billing cycle is daily (24 hours), the service fee is calculated every 24 hours since the service is used.
    • Price Mode: Select fixed pricing, tiered pricing, or volume pricing.
      • Fixed pricing: Calculates the usage fee in each SDR. Fee = Usage x Unit price.
      • Tiered pricing: Calculates the total usage fee in an accumulation cycle. Fee = Tier 1 (Usage x Unit price) + Tier 2 (Usage x Unit price). Example: If calls within 3 minutes are $0.3 USD/minute and calls over 3 minutes are $0.2 USD/minute, then an 8-minute call in an accumulation cycle is (0.3 x 3) + (0.2 x 5) = $1.90 USD.
      • Volume pricing: Calculates the usage fee in each SDR. Fee = Usage x Unit price for the usage range. Example: If calls within 3 minutes are $0.3 USD/minute and calls over 3 minutes are $0.2 USD/minute, then an 8-minute call is 0.2 x 8 = $1.60 USD.
    • Accumulation Cycle: mandatory for tiered pricing.

  5. Click Add Billing Item and specify the billing item name and price.

    A billing factor must have at least one billing item.

Adding a Pay-per-Use Package

To add a pay-per-use package, add a billing factor by referring to section Creating a Pay-per-Use SaaS Specification, and then perform the following steps.

  1. Click Add Package.

  2. Set Package Name, Billing Cycle, Duration, Resource Reset Rule, Package Details, and Unit Price.

    You need to add a billing item in the Package Details area. It is recommended that only one billing item be set for a package. After selecting a billing item, set the package content.

    Resource Reset Rule: For packages that cannot be reset, the package content is the total available usage in the subscription term. For packages reset by year or month, the package content is the annual or monthly available usage. Total package content = Annual or monthly available usage x Number of subscription years or months. Assume that a customer subscribes to a traffic package with a period of three months and the package content is 1,000 GB/month. If the package content is reset every month, the customer can use 1,000 GB traffic every month. If the package content cannot be reset, the customer can use a total of 1,000 GB traffic over three months.

  3. (Optional) To add another package, click Add Package.
