Monetize your workload in Microsoft Fabric

Implement monetization for your Fabric workload using Azure Marketplace SaaS offers or external monetization solutions with user experiences defined in Fabric templates.

Monetization options

Your workload can monetize through:

  • Azure Marketplace SaaS: Leverage Microsoft's billing infrastructure
  • External solutions: Use your own billing and payment systems
  • Hybrid approach: Combine marketplace and external monetization

Azure Marketplace integration

SaaS offer setup

Create an Azure Marketplace SaaS offer for your workload:

  1. Publisher Center: Configure your SaaS offer in Partner Center
  2. Landing page: Implement subscription management UI
  3. Webhook endpoint: Handle subscription lifecycle events
  4. Billing integration: Connect to Azure Marketplace billing APIs

Template-defined experience

The Fabric templates define user experiences for Azure Marketplace integration:

// marketplace-integration.ts
export const handleMarketplaceSubscription = (subscriptionData) => {
  // Follow Fabric templates pattern for marketplace UX
  openSubscriptionDialog({
    templatePattern: 'azure-marketplace-saas',
    subscriptionId: subscriptionData.id,
    planId: subscriptionData.planId
  });
};

Marketplace APIs

Fabric Extensibility toolkit does not provide additional tools for Azure Marketplace integration. Reference the official APIs:

External monetization

Custom billing solutions

Implement your own monetization outside Azure Marketplace:

// external-billing.ts
export const handleCustomBilling = (userData) => {
  // Follow Fabric templates pattern for external billing UX
  openBillingDialog({
    templatePattern: 'external-monetization',
    userId: userData.id,
    subscriptionTier: userData.tier
  });
};

Template support

Fabric templates provide UX patterns for both marketplace and external monetization approaches.

Implementation considerations

User experience alignment

  • Template consistency: Follow Fabric templates for monetization UX
  • Seamless integration: Embed billing flows naturally in your workload
  • Clear pricing: Present subscription options transparently

Technical integration

  • Authentication: Ensure proper user identity management
  • Subscription state: Track user subscription status across sessions
  • Feature gating: Control access based on subscription level
  • Usage tracking: Monitor consumption for metered billing

Best practices

  • Template alignment: Use Fabric templates for consistent UX
  • Marketplace APIs: Leverage official Azure Marketplace documentation
  • External flexibility: Design for both marketplace and external billing
  • User transparency: Clearly communicate pricing and billing terms
