Tariff vs Bundle Relationship

When Tariffs Apply:

• Customer has no active bundles for the network/zone being used

• Bundle quota is exhausted

• Endpoint is not assigned to any bundle

---

When Bundles Take Priority:

• Active bundle exists for the network/zone

• Bundle quota is available

• Customer consumes from bundle allocation instead of being charged per tariff rates

---

Billing Logic:

• Bundles = Data quota allowance

• Tariffs = Pay-per-use pricing

• System first checks for applicable bundles, then falls back to tariff rates

Best Practices

Tariff Structure Planning

1. Currency Alignment: Ensure tariff currency matches target customer currencies

2. Markup Strategy: Plan markup percentages carefully through tenant hierarchy

3. Zone Coverage: Configure rates for all zones where customers will operate

4. Alias Usage: Use aliases when multiple tenants need identical pricing structures

Rate Setting Considerations

1. Minimum Increments: Set appropriate minimums to avoid micro-transactions

2. Network Coverage: Ensure all required networks have defined rates

3. Competitive Pricing: Consider markup levels to maintain competitive end-customer pricing

4. Access Fees: Balance fixed fees with usage-based charges

Maintenance

1. Regular Review: Periodically review and update master tariffs

2. Alias Monitoring: Track which tenants are using which aliases

3. Currency Updates: Monitor exchange rates if operating multi-currency

4. Usage Analysis: Analyze customer usage patterns to optimize rate structures
