Managing rates

Creating a fixed rates plan

The fixed rates plan determines the profit the seller makes on the routes he sells. The rates are fixed while the underline routes can be assigned statically or dynamically using the routing plan.

The fixed rate plan belongs to a routing group and can be viewed under routing groups/rate plan

Initially populating fixed rates table

• Rates plan can be auto populated by clicking a button "Sync rates" (api#/operations/hub.fixed-rates.sync) - select route and it will copy all it's rates to the seller fixed rate plans.

Default rates

A country has a default rate if the network is not determined or doesn't exist in rates plan (MNP/HLR not enabled or failed for SMS)

Editing rates

Sends email to the billing address of the endpoint if not exists than the billing email of the company it's associated with.

You can view the rates emails sent on the endpoint information - hub/endpoints/{id}/email-updates

You can send the rate plan to the endpoint client by clicking "send rates".

After editing the rate the rate will be in status "draft" and won't be applied to client until "send rates" or "apply changes" is clicked.
