+Azure Marketplace charges are visible on the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_GTM/ModernBillingMenuBlade/BillingAccounts). Most Azure Marketplace purchases and consumption are billed outside of Azure Prepayment on a quarterly or monthly cadence and in arrears. Some third-party reseller services available on Azure Marketplace now consume your Enterprise Agreement (EA) Azure Prepayment balance. Previously these services were billed outside of EA Azure Prepayment and were invoiced separately. EA Azure Prepayment for these services in Azure Marketplace helps simplify customer purchase and payment management. For a complete list of services that now consume Azure Prepayment, see the [March 06, 2018 update on the Azure website](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/azure-marketplace-third-party-reseller-services-now-use-azure-monetary-commitment/).

 Customers should contact their Licensing Solutions Provider (LSP) for information on Azure Marketplace charges.
 
 New monthly or annually recurring Azure Marketplace purchases are billed in full during the period when Azure Marketplace items are purchased. These items autorenew in the following period on the same day of the original purchase.
 
 Existing, monthly recurring charges continue to renew on the first of each calendar month. Annual charges renew on the anniversary of the purchase date.
