Microsoft Dynamics 365 e-Commerce Tiers – Subscription Overage – 30 Monthly Transactions (Academic EES)

Unlock enterprise-grade e-commerce capabilities for educational institutions with Microsoft Dynamics 365 e-Commerce Tiers, offered under Subscription Overage and aligned with the Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) program. This 30 monthly transaction plan is designed for academic environments that need a predictable, scalable storefront while maintaining budget discipline. It provides the full power of Dynamics 365 e-Commerce—catalog management, shopping cart, secure checkout, order processing, and rich customer insights—delivered through a cloud-based solution that integrates with your institution’s existing Microsoft ecosystem.

Academic pricing through Tier 1, Band 6 makes this licensing option especially attractive for universities, colleges, schools, and research centers. The arrangement supports education-specific procurement policies while delivering enterprise-grade features that enable smooth online experiences for students, faculty, and staff. The peace-of-mind factor comes from a clearly defined monthly transaction cap, with straightforward options to upgrade or purchase overage as demand grows. This ensures that campus stores can handle peak periods—such as semester registrations, equipment sales, or event merchandise—without compromising performance or user experience. Beyond basic selling features, the solution offers powerful integration with back-office systems, enabling centralized data management, financial postings, inventory control, and CRM-driven engagement that aligns with campus workflows.

What makes Dynamics 365 e-Commerce particularly valuable for education is its interoperability across the Dynamics 365 suite. Institutions gain a unified data model where product information, pricing, and promotions synchronize with ERP data, student records, and analytics. This leads to better governance, reduced manual data handling, and more time for administrators and faculty to focus on core missions rather than copies of data. The platform also scales with your campus—from small departmental stores to university-wide marketplaces—while preserving security, compliance, and role-based access controls. In short, it enables a modern, responsive shopping experience for the academic community, supported by robust analytics, adaptable workflows, and ongoing updates that keep pace with technology and pedagogy.

Additionally, this offering supports sustainable budgeting and transparent licensing. Academic buyers appreciate predictable licensing terms, clear cost structures, and the ability to forecast expenses alongside other campus IT investments. The result is a flexible, future-proof storefront that can adapt to changing curricula, study programs, and student needs, while maintaining a consistent, familiar user experience across devices. By combining the strengths of Dynamics 365 e-Commerce with education-focused pricing and licensing, institutions can deliver a secure, scalable, and user-friendly online store that enhances student engagement, streamlines procurement, and strengthens the digital campus experience.
