Pricing Models
The Billing > Pricing Models section in JCA provides information about all of the pricing models (i.e. a set of tariffs for charging consumed resources) available on the platform.
In case, when there is at least one reseller, a dedicated drop-down list appears at the tools panel, allowing to switch between the main and all of the assigned sub-platforms. Use it to select the required installation.
Within the section, you can manage the list of pricing models available on the platform:
Add New Pricing Model
If you need to create a new pricing model, perform the next simple steps:
1. Click the Add button above the list of existing models.
2. Within the opened Add Pricing Model window, you need to specify Basic Data (i.e. Name and, optionally, Description) and configure Tariffs for your pricing model.
Note: Usually, the pricing model should include tariffs of each type to charge all the resources correctly. However, in some specific cases (like “overuse” for subscriptions), you can target just one or two types of resources and, for example, start charging for disk space or traffic if consumption exceeds a certain threshold.
Be careful not to assign such “overuse” models to user groups, as it will cause incorrect billing.
3. After all the required values are stated, click Save at the bottom of the form and your new pricing model will appear in the list.
Now, you should assign it to user groups for being used.
Edit Pricing Model’s Tariffs
Click on a particular model to see the information about assigned tariffs at the appropriate panel to the right. If needed, you can modify this tariff set:
1. Select the required Pricing Model and click the Edit button above the list.
2. Adjust tariffs for your pricing model via the automatically fetched list.
Don’t forget to Apply the changes you’ve made.
Remove Pricing Model
The pricing model, which is no longer needed, can be easily removed from the platform:
1. Select the pricing model you want to delete and click Remove at the top tools panel.
2. Confirm your actions within the pop-up.
As a result, the appropriate model will be removed from the list.
