Tariff types — buy, sell and wholesale

A tariff is a priced rate table. Voiplix groups them into three kinds, by who they charge and who pays.

Every call has (at least) two prices attached to it: what your provider charges you, and what you charge your customer. Each side is priced from its own tariff — Voiplix never mixes them into one table.

Open Tariffs

In the sidebar, go to Routing > Tariffs. The list is split into three groups.

Tariffs list split into Provider tariffs, Wholesale tariffs and User tariffs, each row showing name, currency and rate count. — The Tariffs list — Provider tariffs (buy) at the top, Wholesale and User tariffs (sell) below.

The three groups

Group	What it prices
Provider tariffs	What a provider (carrier) charges you — the buy side. Assigned to a provider via that provider's `Provider tariff` field.
Wholesale tariffs	A sell tariff meant for reseller-priced traffic, kept separate from your standard retail prices.
User tariffs	What you charge a customer — the sell side. Assigned to a user via that user's `Tariff` field.

Every tariff belongs to exactly one group — its Type, set when it is created and shown (read-only) on its edit page afterwards. A provider can only be pointed at a Provider tariff; a user can only be pointed at a Wholesale or User tariff.

Tip

One tariff can be assigned to several providers or several users. Most setups need only a handful of tariffs — one buy tariff per carrier, one or two sell tariffs for customers.

A tariff's edit page

Select Edit on any tariff to open its name, type and currency.

What each field means

Field	Meaning
`Name`	How this tariff appears everywhere else in Voiplix.
`Type`	Provider tariff / Wholesale tariff / User tariff — fixed after creation.
`Currency`	The currency every rate in this tariff is quoted in. See Currencies and exchange rates.
`Delta value (optional)` / `Delta percent (optional)`	Only used when this tariff is generated as a copy of another one: each copied rate becomes `(source rate × (1 + delta percent/100) + delta value)`, converted to this tariff's currency. Leave both at 0 for a tariff you price by hand.

Check

Open Routing > Tariffs and confirm your tariff shows up under the group you expect — Provider tariffs if it prices a carrier, User (or Wholesale) tariffs if it prices a customer.
