to set up your products for testing.
Set up your products for testing
To set up your published Cloud Marketplace products for testing, you must:
Have a Pricing review approved for at least one Cloud Marketplace
product.
Receive invoices for test usage
After you've added your Cloud Billing account as a Test Billing Account
for your published Cloud Marketplace products, you still receive invoices
for usage of your products. However, the charges you would otherwise incur for
using your products are canceled out by matching discounts.
The invoice includes the following details:
For each of your published Cloud Marketplace products, your usage of
that product, included in the invoice just as your customers' usage is
included in their invoices.
A discount representing 100% of your testing usage of your published
Cloud Marketplace products, with the description Marketplace Partner
Testing.
