Solano - FAQs

Free Trial

How do I use my free trial?

Customers are provided with a 30 day free trial on signup. This means that you can use Solano for 30 days from signup without being charged, and any data imported and processed within that 30 day period is to be excluded from service charges. To avoid service charges beyond the 30 day trial, you are simply required to not import additional data/files into the Solano platform after this 30 day period. If you do not use the service after the initial free trial period, there will be no further charges. Any usage of Solano after the 30 day trial period will result in charges being applied to your provided card.

About Service Charges

How much am I charged?

iasset.com applies a 0.50% service charge to the total value throughput of your customers’ cloud transactions (“Chargeable Volume”). The service charge is applied against the the margin-up amounts. The chargeable volume includes the value of any credit items that appear (as negative amounts). For example, credited prorate amounts or refunds are converted to absolute amounts that are subject to service charges. 

What is “Chargeable Volume”?

Chargeable Volume is a column that appears in your Service Charges page. Our Service Charges are not applied to the displayed Customer Price. Instead iasset.com applies charges to the total chargeable throughput volume in all of your customer data, even to credits that appear as negatives. Customer Price may include credits which affects that amount that for which your customers are invoiced. The impact is that your Chargeable Volume may be more than the Customer Price in some circumstances.

When am I charged?

Service charges are calculated monthly on the first day of each month, in arrears, and based on any imported data that has not yet been billed for (and eligible for free trial). Any imported transactions that are outstanding prior to the first day of the month are included in the service charge calculation. Service fees are then charged to your provided card details on the 15th of each month.


Credits in your Cloud Data 

How does Solano handle credits?

Credits (or refunds) are an important part of cloud billing data. Any credits in your data are factored in when processing, and are reflected when billing totals are generated. Solano tracks the customers and products for which credits are received. Both the credit to you and the credit to customer are displayed in your portal. At any time you can drill into the historical data to review which services received credits, and how they affected totals.
