Event details

Microsoft Marketplace is available in 141 regions and supports 17 currencies. As Marketplace adoption continues to grow more partners are navigating sales that involve multiple currencies, local customer invoicing, and evolving seller of record responsibilities. Understanding how currency exchanges impact private offers, partner payments, and customer billing is critical to successfully managing Marketplace transactions across geographies.

Join this practical walkthrough to learn how multi‑currency transactions are managed through Microsoft Marketplace. You’ll see how currency exchange is handled across deal constructs, including a multiparty private offer example, and what changes when partners participate in resale enabled offers and assume seller of record responsibilities.

If you are a software company or channel partners selling in Microsoft Marketplace and want to confidently navigate local currency transactions, understand how timing impacts payments, and apply best practices when executing deals across geographies, this session is for you!

What you’ll learn:

  • How Marketplace customers are invoiced and the currency of record
  • How to configure private offers in local currency
  • How sales timing affects partner payments
  • How the FX rate applies to Marketplace sales

Takeaways:

  • Clear understanding of multi‑currency Marketplace transactions
  • Confidence in creating private offers in local currency
  • Foundational knowledge to support sales of resale enabled offers


Microsoft Marketplace office hours for partners are typically held the third Wednesday of every month, 8:30 am PT unless otherwise noted.

    It is not allowing me to view.  It is asking me to sign in, but I am already signed in.
