Azure Marketplace Is Now Supported as a Payment Method on Vantage

Vantage has expanded its payment options by allowing customers to subscribe to its Enterprise Tier plans through the Azure Marketplace, providing a convenient and secure method for Azure users to facilitate payments to Vantage using their existing Azure billing details. Previously, customers could only pay through ACH, credit card via Stripe, or the AWS Marketplace, which posed additional management tasks for Azure-centric organizations. By subscribing through the Azure Marketplace, Azure acts as a payment intermediary without sharing billing details with Vantage, simplifying the process for customers who use Azure as their primary cloud provider. Transitioning to this new payment method does not affect current credit card subscribers unless they choose to switch, and while coupons are not currently supported, no additional fees are incurred. Custom pricing is available, though self-serve plans are not supported, and only fixed-term contracts are offered through this payment channel.
