Billing models explained
Products use one of two billing models:
Standard Billing
- Fixed pricing structure
- Consistent pricing regardless of volume
Stairstep Billing
- Pricing tiers based on volume or usage
- Price may decrease as you purchase more units
- Generally reserved for Partners that have a very large volume of activations and need to purchase products in bulk
Understanding wholesale prices
Wholesale prices are displayed in several formats:
Monthly pricing
- Starting at $X.XX/mo - This product has multiple tiers, with the lowest tier starting at $X.XX per month
- $X.XX/mo - This product is priced at $X.XX per month
Annual pricing
- $X.XX/yr - This product is priced at $X.XX per year
One-time fees
- $X.XX - This product is a one-time fee of $X.XX
Free options
- Starting at Free - This product has a free tier, with paid options at higher tiers
- Free + $X.XX Setup fee - This product is free, with a one-time setup charge of $X.XX
Understanding discounts
Some products may have active wholesale discounts applied. Discounts are displayed in the Discounts column and show:
- Discount type (e.g., "100 free units per period")
- Start date when the discount became active
- Period information (monthly, quarterly, etc.)
"Active Discounts: 100 free units per period starting 2021-01-03"
This indicates that you receive 100 free units of the product each billing period, with the discount starting on January 3, 2021.

Frequently asked questions
Do prices include taxes?
Prices displayed are wholesale prices before taxes.
How do I see my wholesale pricing for a specific product?
Use the search bar at the top of the Pricing page to filter products by name. You can also scroll through the table to find specific products.
What's the difference between Standard and Stairstep billing?
Standard billing uses fixed pricing regardless of volume. Stairstep billing offers tiered pricing where costs may decrease as you purchase more units or reach certain volume thresholds. Stairstep billing is generally reserved for Partners that have a very large volume of activations and need to purchase products in bulk.
Where can I see my wholesale discounts and free units?
Active wholesale discounts appear in the Discounts column of the Pricing table. Each discount shows its type (for example, "100 free units per period"), its start date, and its period, such as monthly or quarterly.
Is the price on the Pricing page the wholesale price?
Yes. The Wholesale Price column shows the cost you pay for each product, displayed as a starting price or a fixed rate.
What does "Starting at" mean in the Wholesale Price column?
"Starting at $X.XX/mo" means the product has multiple tiers, and the lowest tier starts at that monthly price. "Starting at Free" means the product has a free tier, with paid options at higher tiers.
