This page describes gives a brief overview of how to create implement a pricing model for a reseller and how to use that to create pricing models for reseller customers. |
To implement pricing for a reseller:
The reseller scope cannot be the unlimited global scope
Create pricing models with the base prices that the reseller will pay for virtual resources
Assign a pricing model to the reseller enterprise
The reseller administrator can then log in and clone the pricing model to create customer pricing models.

...
Log in as the reseller administrator in the reseller enterprise
Go to Pricing view. The reseller pricing model will display. You can edit the pricing model to view the prices but you cannot save changes, unless you have the same scope as the user that created the pricing model
Optionally, add markup or discount for providers with price factors, see Manage price factors.
Optionally, create extra charges with cost codes for reseller services. For more details, see Manage extra charges with cost codes
To create customer pricing models, click the copy button to clone the reseller pricing model
Change the pricing model as required
We recommend that you use price factors for markups and discounts, but you can also Change all resource prices with a percentage to increase or decrease the base prices. For resource prices, the platform applies the percentage change (adding the percentage of the base price the reseller entered to the base price).
Go to Resource prices. Check the new prices or manually enter a new price for any resource. If you enter a price that is lower than the base price (in the reseller pricing model), Abiquo will highlight the price with red text.
For Hardware profiles you can overwrite the prices from extra charges with cost codes, or from the feature to onboard and synchronize the price lists of public cloud providers. See Manage extra charges with cost codes and Synchronize public cloud price lists
Go to Extra charge prices and optionally set prices with cost codes for reseller services
Save the pricing model
Assign the pricing model to customers. Each customer administrator with pricing view access should only be able to display the pricing model for their own tenant.
