Negotiated deals are one of the most effective ways to grow larger, more flexible sales through Microsoft Marketplace. They let you align pricing, billing, and terms to how customers prefer to buy, without changing how your app or agent is built. That last point matters. Negotiated deals don’t require you to create a new app or agent. Instead, they let you repackage existing, publicly transactable offers with customized terms for specific customers or partners. The result is faster deal execution without added development overhead.167Views6likes0CommentsEncodian, AppJetty, and KAISPE offer transactable partner solutions in Microsoft Marketplace

Hi Community, I’m reaching out here after spending nearly 6 months discussing an issue with Microsoft Support, without getting a satisfactory answer. We have published transactable SaaS apps in the Microsoft Marketplace. Each of our SaaS offers includes multiple plans (e.g., Premium, Pro, Leader). About six months ago, our customers started reporting that they could no longer upgrade their plan via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. We were able to reproduce the issue ourselves. Symptom: when attempting to upgrade, the dropdown list that should display available upgrade plans is empty. This functionality worked correctly before. After multiple discussions with Microsoft Support engineers, their supervisor, and their manager, the official response we received is: “change to different plan functionality (for marketplace offers) in Admin Center is by design not enabled, which is why the dropdown does not display available plans.” This directly contradicts Microsoft documentation, which indicates that plan changes should be supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace-offers/pc-saas-fulfillment-life-cycle Despite sharing this documentation, Microsoft Support maintains that this behavior is by design and that customers cannot upgrade plans from the Admin Center. My questions to the community: Are there ISVs here who have published transactable SaaS offers with multiple plans? If so, can your customers upgrade plans through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center? Are your customer experiencing the same issue? Can any SME confirm or contradict Microsoft Support’s statement that “by design, customer cannot upgrade plans using M365 Admin center”? For reference, here is our Microsoft Support ticket ID: 2508260010000694. I’m happy to share additional information upon request. Thank you in advance for any insights or confirmation. Sang, ps: I recently notice change of domain name in M365 admin center and the log showing this. Weird coincidence.Microsoft Marketplace offer live? Make it shine. 🌟

When a SaaS transactable offer on Microsoft AppSource includes a pricing plan for more than 1 year, the offer is delisted from AppSource and becomes available on Azure Marketplace. This is due to the platform's structure: AppSource primarily supports monthly or annual subscription models for SaaS offers. Any pricing model that exceeds 1 year (e.g., 2-year, 3-year plans) is outside the scope of AppSource’s transaction capabilities. When a SaaS solution introduces https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace-offers/marketplace-commercial-transaction-capabilities-and-considerations, it is automatically transitioned to Azure Marketplace, which can accommodate longer-term contracts and subscription models (such as 2-year, 3-year, or longer terms). Azure Marketplace is designed for more complex transactions, including multi-year deals, and supports deeper infrastructure integration and contract management features compared to AppSource. Thus, any SaaS offer that requires multi-year pricing terms will shift from AppSource to Azure Marketplace, where such transactions can be handled effectively.
