A reseller can manage customer subscriptions directly, or, if\ncustomizing multiple services, a reseller can work with a service integrator to\nmanage customers.\n\nResellers can choose from the following plans:\n\n- **annual commitment:** The reseller purchases a fixed amount of licenses from Google for one year. Customers can create up to the license count, but resellers are billed for the number of licenses ordered. If customers need additional licenses, resellers can use the [`subscriptions.changeSeats`](/workspace/admin/reseller/v1/reference/subscriptions/changeSeats) API call to raise the number of licenses ordered.\n- **flexible:** Every time a customer creates a new user, Google charges the reseller for this license. The reseller's contract with Google describes the price, specifications, and maximum number of licenses.\n\nAlong with managing user licenses, the reseller (or its partnered service\nintegrators) provide customers with a broad range of additional services such as\ntraining, promotions, advertising, pricing, deployment customizations,\ntroubleshooting, and maintenance.\n\nLicenses\n--------\n\nA license lets a user with a Google account access Google Workspace\nservices. When a customer assigns a license to a user, it becomes an active\nlicense. Only active licenses are counted when calculating a customer's total\nnumber of users.\n\nCustomer\n--------\n\nA Google customer begins with a Google Workspace account that the\nreseller configures. When setting up the customer's account, the reseller\nsupplies a primary domain name, alternate email, and a physical address. Then,\nthe reseller also creates a subscription for each product SKU available to the\ncustomer. The customer hosts each individual user account. For more information,\nsee\n[Order a new customer account](/workspace/admin/reseller/v1/how-tos/manage_customers#order_a_new_customer_account).\n\nPlans\n-----\n\nA plan defines a reseller's billing terms with Google. These plans don't define\nthe billing relationship between a reseller and their customers. Resellers\ndefine their own billing terms with their customers.\n\nReseller API\nsupports the Google Workspace monthly post-pay system, which has several available\npayment plans:\n\n- `ANNUAL_MONTHLY_PAY`: Annual commitment with monthly payments\n- `ANNUAL_YEARLY_PAY`: Annual commitment with one yearly payment\n- `FLEXIBLE`: Non-commitment plan with monthly payments\n- `TRIAL`: Free trial plan\n - Trial length is variable up to a maximum of 30 days.\n - Daily Gmail sending limit of 500 messages per user.\n- `FREE`: Free plan **only** for Cloud Identity Free Edition subscriptions\n\nFor more information on these plans, see\n[Choose a payment plan for your customers](https://support.google.com/a/answer/1720041).\n\nSubscription\n------------\n\nA subscription manages the relationship of a Google customer's\npayment plan with a product's SKU, user licenses, 30-day free trial status, and\nrenewal options. A primary role of a reseller is to manage the Google customer's\nsubscriptions.\n\nIn the Reseller API, a subscription is a primary API resource. It\ndefines the settings for a payment plan, licenses, 30-day free trial, renewal,\nand a reseller's purchase order. A customer can have more than one subscription,\none for each product SKU that the reseller assigns to the customer.\n\nEach subscription has a unique identifier, a `subscriptionId`. Because a\n`subscriptionId` changes when the subscription changes, don't use a\n`subscriptionId` value as a key for persistent data. This key will break if the\nsubscription changes.\n\nFor more information, see [Manage subscriptions](/workspace/admin/reseller/v1/how-tos/manage_subscriptions).\n\nProducts and product SKUs\n-------------------------\n\nA product is a commercial offering of a specialized set of Google service and\napplication features. A product can have customized versions of terms, pricing,\nand other agreement details. Each of these product versions is identified by a\nproduct SKU. In this version, the Reseller API offers a subscription\nfor each SKU in the Google Workspace, Google Vault, and Google Drive products.\nFor more information, see\n[Products \\& SKUs](/workspace/admin/reseller/v1/how-tos/products)."]]
