Q: I have a few questions related to the agency fee discount for renewals (Agency fee discount for renewals - Marketplace publisher | Microsoft Learn), Does the reduction to 1.5% for a renewal also apply if the offer is auto-renewing? My understanding is that the renewal only applies if a new private offer is created and the pop-up checkbox is confirmed that this private offer is for a renewal. Is that correct? A: Your understanding for both of these is correct.FAQ: Is private plan or private offer better for Year 2 for co-sell eligible publisher?
Q: I'm a publisher that published a private plan for year 1 and am now at the verge of publishing a private plan for year 2. I'm now contemplating whether to go with a private plan or private offer. I am co-sell eligible becaues of the first year deal. If I publish a private plan for year 2, can the client use that for MACC decrement or does it has to be a private offer? A: Private plan or private offer will both do the trick, however there's more functionality available with a private offer. Flexible billing options most importantly. It's also becoming the more common customer purchasing experience. Last but not least, the reporting provides much more information when it's a private offer than a private plan, so our recommendation is to go with the private offer.Office hours for partners: Marketplace Rewards for FY26
