platform Include Saas Offer https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/commits/main/msteams-platform/concepts/deploy-and-publish/appsource/prepare/include-saas-offer.md
When planning how to monetize your Teams app, here are some things to consider:
* Learn how [Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO)](/azure/marketplace/azure-ad-saas) helps your customers purchase and manage subscriptions. (Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) SSO is required for Teams apps with SaaS offers.) * Understand that you're responsible for managing and paying for the infrastructure required to support your customers' use of your SaaS offer. * Plan for mobile. To avoid violating third-party app store policies, your app can't include links that allow users to purchase subscription plans on mobile. However, you can still indicate if your app has features that require a subscription plan. For more information, see the related [commercial marketplace certification policies](/legal/marketplace/certification-policies#114048-mobile-experience).
+* Teams currently doesn't support flat rate pricing models. However, you can create a flat rate transactable offer in Partner Center. For more information, see [best practices for selling a flat rate transactable offer](#best-practices-for-selling-a-flat-rate-transactable-offer).

We strongly recommend that you verify the end-to-end purchasing experience before publishing your SaaS offer. You can do this by creating a separate offer just for testing. For complete information, see [test offer overview](/azure/marketplace/plan-saas-offer#test-offer), [create a test offer](/azure/marketplace/create-saas-dev-test-offer), and [preview your offer](/azure/marketplace/test-publish-saas-offer). > [!IMPORTANT]
-> You can test an end-to-end transaction in Teams until your app completes store validation. For more information see, [Test preview for monetized apps](Test-preview-for-monetized-apps.md).

+## Best practices for selling a flat rate transactable offer
+
+1. Create your [flat rate transactable SaaS offer](/azure/marketplace/plan-saas-offer) and [publish to AppSource](/azure/marketplace/test-publish-saas-offer).
+
+1. Link your [SaaS offer to the Teams app](/azure/marketplace/create-new-saas-offer) in Partner Center.
+
+ > [!CAUTION]
+ > Don't add the Offer ID and Publisher ID to the app manifest. The app won't pass the Teams store submission process.
+
+1. Build an in-app message in your Teams app that a subscription is needed and provide a hyperlink to your SaaS offer in AppSource to promote your flat rate offer.
+
+ > [!NOTE]
+ > Ensure any marketplace links don't appear on mobile and tablet devices to adhere to [third-party app store policies](/legal/marketplace/certification-policies).
+
+1. Submit your app for validation.
+
+1. After Teams marketplace supports flat rate pricing, update your app manifest with the Offer ID and Publisher ID and resubmit your app for validation.
