Enhancement to contract settings

A new contract setting, ‘Disable Proration’ has been added to the product profile definition that enables marketplace managers to disable proration on a subscription update made in the middle of a contract period.

If users update their subscription within a contract period, a marketplace charges a full amount regardless of when an update happens. This setting will be unchecked by default.

Previously, a prorated amount was charged for the remaining contract duration when users updated a subscription within the contract period.

With this new setting, the AppDirect marketplace now supports the new transactional SKUs from Adobe (such as Adobe Sign).

Before enabling it, the marketplace managers must ensure that the following existing settings are selected:

• Allow developers to configure contract restrictions per price.
• Block user from decreasing units.
• Block edition downgrades for subscriptions with active contracts.
• Keep billing cycle on pricing plan change.
• Keep billing cycle on usage change.

For more information on these settings, refer to Configure contracts, Add tiered edition in Add editions, and Edition, unit, and contract restrictions.
