Editing Backorder (section)

=== Pricing and Billing processes ===

Backordered domains like all objects in the system have a price class associated with them. 

Pricing information for each extension available for Backorder can be obtained via the web-interface or the API. Different discount levels apply to Backorders depending on each Reseller's tier. Queries via the web-interface/API will return the final discounted price for the tier the Reseller submitting the query belongs to.

The following values are returned (where "TLD" is replaced by the actual TLD, e.g. COM or SE):

* PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_TLD_BACKORDER_APPLICATION  
* PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_TLD_BACKORDER_CURRENCY  
* PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_TLD_BACKORDER_DEPOSIT 


For TLDs with Premium tiers, the following values are returned for each premium class:

* PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_PREMIUM_TLD_A_BACKORDER_APPLICATION
* PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_PREMIUM_TLD_A_BACKORDER_CURRENCY
* PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_PREMIUM_TLD_A_BACKORDER_DEPOSIT


The CURRENCY relation returns the currency in which successful backorders will be charged. If this relation in not defined, then the system will use the standard currency for regular domain registrations in the respective class (PRICE_CLASS_DOMAIN_TLD_CURRENCY). If a standard currency for that extension is not defined then the active currency set in the Reseller account will be used.  

The DEPOSIT relation returns the amount that will be reserved in the Reseller's account 3 days before the Finalization Date to guarantee the Backorder. The reserve on the DEPOSIT amount is lifted shortly after the Backorder has been processed and the system has attempted to register the domain object of the Backorder. Please note that only Backorders for which a deposit could be secured by the Finalization Date will be considered valid and processed.

The APPLICATION relation returns the amount that will be charged to the Reseller's account in case the Backorder completes successfully. In case of single Backorders, this amount is charged right after the domain is caught by the Backorder system and the domain is then placed in the Reseller's account. In case of multiple valid Backorders for the same domain, the APPLICATION amount will be charged to the Reseller that submitted the Backorder for the customer that won the auction, once customer has paid the auction price to the Auction provider. The domain is then placed in the Reseller's account and its ownership is transferred to the customer that submitted the Backorder.
