Disappointingly long collection cycle for transactable Saas bought by a MCA/CSP Azure customers
Hello MPN/Marketplace team,
The extraordinarily long usage-to-collection cycle associated with transactable Saas offers on Azure Marketplace is very painful for small ISVs and needs to be optimized by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace/payout-policy-details
In the B2B SaaS industry, where pre-paid contracts with Net0 or Net30 payment are the default, 4-5 months for customer funds to hit the ISV's bank account are too long. As a more apples-to-apples data point, the other Seattle cloud hyperscalar's Marketplace provides SaaS ISVs with InvoiceID level visibility into our invoices, including the exact due date, and follows up with next-day-after-collection disbursements to the ISV's bank account.
Please optimize this for cash flow cadence of SaaS ISVs, Microsoft. Thanks in advance 🙂
Cheers,
Sid
