Flexible Discounts – Introductory offers support

Expected release: March, 2026.

This release enhances the Flexible Discounts capability in VIP Marketplace to support Introductory Offers as a new discount category. The introductory offer is a type of discount that helps partners apply a fixed-price discount to a customer’s first purchase or first-time use of a specific product. Some benefits include:

• Incentivizing early onboarding of new Adobe products
• Transition from SKU-based promotions to promotional codes

New capabilities

• Category filtering:
  The newly introduced categories query parameter of the Fetch Flexible Discounts endpoint supports filtering by category. Supported values:

  • STANDARD: Regular Flexible Discounts (% off, $ off)
  • INTRO: Introductory Offers

• New discount type:
  The type parameter with value FIXED_PRICE allows partners to offer a product at a fixed price, regardless of its original price. Example: Adobe Express at $39.99 for new customers.

• Eligibility enhancements:
  Flexible Discounts for Introductory Offers can be applied only if the customer has never owned the product previously.

Pricing and invoicing data available in GET Order APIs

Expected release: March, 2026.

The VIP Marketplace now provides partners with enhanced access to pricing and invoicing information through the GET Order by ID and GET Order History APIs.

  • Single‑currency orders

Early Renewals – Subscription renewal ahead of anniversary date

Expected release: April, 2026.

Facilitates the renewal of customer subscriptions before the Anniversary Date (AD). This capability enables customers to renew early while maintaining uninterrupted access to their existing subscription.

New capabilities

• Early renewal window (AD‑30 to AD)
  Partners can now place renewal orders up to 30 days before the subscription’s anniversary date. Orders placed within this window are treated as renewal orders and are invoiced immediately.

• Pricing based on date of renewal

  Customers can benefit from the old price if they renew before a price change.

• Three-year commitment (3YC) support
  For three-year commitment customers, price continues to be based on the 3YC commitment start date. Early renewals maintain compliance and may help non-compliant customers regain compliant status. Early renewals are not supported if the 3YC customer is in the last term.

• Return policy enhancements
  Early renewal orders can be returned within the standard 14-day return window, even if the return occurs before the anniversary date. The anniversary date does not roll back after a return.

• Auto-renew compatibility

  • Customers with auto-renewal enabled can still renew early. On the renewal date, any remaining quantities not covered by early renewals are automatically renewed.
  • Early renewing customers are not expected to turn off their auto-renewal configuration. Adobe intelligently handles the auto renewals accordingly and subscription states and attributes are updated as part of the standard renewal cycle.

• Renewals - Overview
• Managing early renewals using APIs
• Managing auto-renewals using APIs

Sandbox changes

• The Customer records in the Sandbox UI displays early renewal details of subscriptions. For more information, see: View customer details in Sandbox.
