Creating a service plan

1. Log in to the Marketplace partner dashboard.

2. Go to the product that you want to add a new service plan for.

3. In the Pricing plan tab, click Create pricing plan. If you do not see the Create pricing plan button, it means your application for the product has not been approved yet. You can find the details and deadlines under Ticket.

4. In the window that opens, enter the name of the service plan and select the pricing policy. Different policies are available for different types of products.

   • Free: The product license is provided free of charge.
   • BYOL: You can run software on the Yandex Cloud infrastructure using licenses purchased from third-party providers (sellers).
   • PAYG: Billing is per second based on VM usage parameters or application metrics defined by the product publisher. The following metrics are possible:
     • Cores per hour: Every second of product use is charged at the rate multiplied by the number of VM cores with the RUNNING status and divided by 3,600.
     • VM per hour: You are charged for product usage on VMs with the RUNNING status. The per-second cost is calculated as the specified value divided by 3,600.
     • RAM per hour: You are charged for RAM usage by VMs with the RUNNING status. The per-second cost is calculated as the specified value divided by 3,600.
     • Other pricing system: Billing is based on application metrics specified by the publisher. For more information, see Create a custom service plan.
   • Subscription: Product subscription.
     To set up a subscription, create a subscription template. To do this, select either the PAYG or the Subscription service plan and click Create subscription template at the bottom of the page.
     If you create a subscription within the PAYG service plan, the user will automatically switch to this plan as soon as they unlink the subscription from a resource or as soon as the subscription expires.
     If you create a subscription within the Subscription service plan, you will need to set up integration with the License Manager API. In this case, the product will only be available under the subscription and, when it expires, it will be disabled. You can learn more about subscriptions here.

5. Enter the price for the selected unit of measurement.

6. Click Create.
