Microsoft has added a handy new feature to Partner Center: you can now download active promotions directly from the Pricing workspace — no more hunting through separate reference sources.
What Changed?
A new Benefits (Beta) section has been added to the left navigation in the Pricing workspace. From there, partners can download a list of active commercial promotions filtered by:
- Market (country/region)
- Segment (e.g., Commercial)
For example, if you sell to German commercial customers, select the DE market and Commercial segment to get a tailored promotions list.
Why This Matters
Until now, finding active promotions meant checking separate documents or portals. This update brings pricing and promotions into one place, which means:
- Better visibility into eligible offers during deal planning
- Less friction — no switching between tools to cross-reference promotions with pricing
- Faster decisions when building quotes and proposals for customers
What Does Not Change
This is purely a visibility improvement. The actual purchasing and transaction flows remain the same. Eligibility rules and how promotions are applied have not changed either.
How to Access It
- Go to Partner Center
- Navigate to the Pricing workspace
- Select Benefits (Beta) from the left navigation
The Bottom Line
A small but welcome quality-of-life improvement for CSP direct bill partners and distributors. Having promotions alongside pricing data saves time and reduces the chance of missing an active offer when planning deals.
