Check out our new Next Generation Pricing model for improved functionality!
To offer a new service please click the Create New Offer button in the Business Contracts application. You access a new page, enabling you to enter the settings for your service offer.
Create your new service offer in three steps.
1. Choose Offer Type
First, please choose a service type. This is a mandatory field.
- Choosing Authorization will allow charging sessions at your charge points for partners that subscribe to this offer.
- Choosing Reservation enables the end customers of partners that subscribe to your offer to reserve your charge points (optional)
Second, please choose between Offer to all partners (OfferToAll, O2A) and Offer to specific partners who you want to send an offer to. This is a mandatory field.
- Offer to all partners: This service offer will be sent to all potential subscribers including partners that join the platform while your current offer is running.
- Offer to specific partners: This service offer will be sent only to the partner you choose from the dropdown list.
2. Provide name & duration of your offer
You choose a name for the offer that will help you recognize your services offered. You determine the run-time by selecting Valid From and Valid To, and you set the rules for cancellation.
Optional: You can also upload a PDF file specifying additional Terms & Conditions (please do not add any prices or tariff information here to ensure that the offer remains machine readable for EMPs).
3. Choose a Pricing model for your offer
Select Product pricing as pricing model.
A product definition window for entering Product Details appears.
Adding multiple products in a service offer
By clicking on the Add Product button below the definition window, another product definition window appears. Here, you can define another product within the same service offer.
- The Product ID must be unique within a service offer. If you add multiple products, each product needs a unique Product ID
- You can add up to 20 Products within a service offer.
If you want to copy an already defined product, please use the Copy button. All details are taken over exactly, except for the Product ID which has to be unique.
If you want to delete a product within a service offer, just click on the Delete Product button of the respective product definition field. You cannot delete a product if it is the only product in a product pricing offer.
