What are seller insights?
All VM and usage-based billing developer services publishers receive monthly reports from Microsoft, if their offers are generating usage.
What will I receive?
-
Welcome email: As a new publisher, you will receive a welcome email to notify you that you will begin receiving the seller insights monthly reports.
-
Monthly sales reports: If you have usage, you will receive a second email that contains your reports and instructions on how to access your password:
- If you have a VM or usage-based billing developer services SKU that is generating usage, your monthly report will show you details about the orders, usage, markets, and customer details for your offers.
- Reports are locked with a password that only you and Microsoft know in order to protect your customers’ data.
- Microsoft will not send a report if none of your offers have generated usage during the month.
