[Spce-user] Resellers Operating Logics

[rkrenn at sipwise.com]

Call Cost Model:

 

Customer costs:

The amount presented on the invoice for the reseller’s end customer.

Reseller costs:

The rate the platform operator will charge the reseller.

Carrier costs:

The amount the platform operator can expect on invoices from the peering providers.

 

Reseller revenue = Customer costs – reseller costs

Platform operator revenue = Reseller costs – carrier costs

 

Another business model is to use different rating ticks (eg. 60s/1s) for custom vs reseller/peering (eg. 1s/1s)

 

Source costs: call costs to charge the caller

Destination costs: call costs to charge the callee

Good morning, can you explain to me the logic of resellers on C5?
We have been using C5 for 4 years and have always been the platform managers and sole resellers. We therefore have 1 peering billing profile (our supplier) and 1 billing profile that we assign to subscribers

Today we have a partner who wants to resell our voice services.
We then created a new reseller, created his domain and all the SIP settings to allow the call to go out but I can't understand the billing logic. We have assigned the same billing profile as us (the peering one) to the Reseller

The reseller has a commercial agreement with us where he pays (for example) calls to Italy 0.05 cents/minute. We then created a billing profile with these rates and associated it with their reseller ID. The subscribers we create on your behalf we assign to this billing profile. In this way the CDRs that are generated on /home/jail/home/cdrexport/resellers which we then send to our partner contain the rates agreed between us and the partner
The partner then imports the CDRs into its management system and applies the mark-up to its customer

Did I understand the logic correctly or am I missing something?
Is it correct to assign the peering billing profile to the reseller and to his subscribers the price list agreed between us and him?

We would be interested in invoicing only the traffic that the reseller generates and not for every single subscriber he has...

The documentation does not clarify this aspect
Thank you
