Set up services for trials and subscription orders

A partner or a customer administrator can set up services for trials and subscription orders. Services setup wizard experience is the same for the trial and subscription provisioning flows. We recommend that partners complete these steps before handing over the account to customer administrators.

 

You can use any supported browser to access Control Hub.

Partner Administrator Access

    Click Yes to continue to set up services for the customer.

  • For Subscription Orders: When you create a Webex Contact Center Order using the Order Set-Up wizard, after you specify the order information, the final screen displays "Thank you. The order has been mapped correctly".

    Click Next to continue to set up services for the customer.
