This guide is for organisations that operate as Indirect Resellers in the Azure CSP model. If your organisation purchases Azure licenses through a Tier-1 distributor (rather than directly from Microsoft), the standard Partner Center API integration does not apply to you.

In this case, billing data flows from Microsoft through your distributor — not directly to you. Ripple integrates with your distributor's API on the backend to retrieve your billing data.

Because billing data comes from your distributor, you'll need to provide Ripple with API credentials from your distributor's reseller portal — not from Microsoft Partner Center.

The steps below walk you through what to gather and who to contact.

You must know which distributor you purchase your Azure licenses through. The major global distributors each provide a dedicated reseller API:

If your distributor is not listed above, contact your account manager and we'll confirm compatibility.

Log in to your distributor's reseller portal and request API access. You (or your account manager at the distributor) will need to generate the following:

Once you have your credentials, share them securely with your Alphaus account manager or contact us at ripple_cs@alphaus.cloud.

Our team will use these credentials to integrate your distributor's API with Ripple, so your billing data is fetched automatically from the correct source.

⚠️ Note: Inside your distributor's system, your end-customer accounts are identified by the distributor's own internal billing account keys — not solely by their Microsoft tenant ID. Alphaus handles this mapping on the backend; no action is required from you.

If you're unsure which distributor you're with, or if you run into any issues obtaining credentials, reach out and we'll guide you through it.
