Edit Billing Configuration: Pay-as-You-Go Subscriptions
After you configure a Pay-as-You-Go subscription account on the Configure Account page, CloudCheckr will display the Edit Billing Configuration page.
For Pay-as-You-Go subscriptons accounts, you must provide additional billing details before CloudCheckr can begin to monitor the usage and cost data in your Azure account.
This topic describes the billing options, so you can select the ones that best apply to your billing configuration.
