Today, Vantage customers can subscribe to plans in the Enterprise Tier via the Azure Marketplace. The Azure Marketplace offers a secure and seamless method for facilitating payments from your Azure account to Vantage.
Before, Vantage customers could only pay directly with ACH, via credit card, with payments processed securely through Stripe, or via the AWS Marketplace. Customers who primarily use Azure as their cloud provider encountered additional overhead when bringing on Vantage as a new vendor because a member of their organization had to manage a credit card for payments and ensure that the credit card was kept up to date.
Now, customers can subscribe to Vantage via the Azure Marketplace. When you subscribe through the Marketplace, Azure will use existing billing details associated with your Azure account to automatically facilitate payments to Vantage. Azure never shares your billing details with Vantage and acts as a payment intermediary.
To get started, contact the Vantage sales team to provision a custom Azure Marketplace plan for your account. See the FAQ, below, for additional details
