Feature Request: Enable Custom Measures and Private Offers for AppSource Subscriptions

Hi Sang, 

Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, this is a feature gap between different Marketplace storefront experiences. SaaS Metered Billing, generally used to charge for consumptive overage, can be included in your plan pricing strategy, but will result in the offer being available only through the Azure marketplace storefront, and unavailable through the AppSource storefront. 

Private offers currently are only supported for products available in Azure Marketplace. If a product is available only on AppSource it cannot be transacted via private offers (private plans may be used in this scenario). I see that your organization has SaaS offers available through both storefronts. You may create private offers for individual Azure customers to sell your products which are publicly available on Azure marketplace.

The offer type and offer properties determine in which storefront a product will appear, so they may be available in one storefront only, or both storefronts. For SaaS offers, the offer's transaction capability as well as the industry and category selection will determine the online store where your offer will be published. Additionally, if you enable license management for your SaaS offer, it will only be available in AppSource.

You may choose to plan for or modify some of these properties to ensure the solution appears in the right storefront to help you reach new customers. Also see: Introduction to listing options - Microsoft commercial marketplace - Marketplace publisher | Microsoft Learn
