How to manage fee-based access to data assets

When a data consumer sends a request to access one of your fee-based data assets, the module generates a corresponding invoice and sends it to the consumer’s connector.

Financial transactions are carried out outside the LDS system. The data consumer will process the payment as indicated in the invoice.

The data transfer will remain disabled until you confirm the payment. To do so, log in to the invoicing module. In the module, new and not yet confirmed invoices are labelled accordingly.

Choose the payment you want to confirm, click Pay now and confirm the reception of the full invoice sum. The module will enable the transfer of the corresponding data product.

Now the consumer can complete the data transfer and download the asset. All transactions and the corresponding invoices are logged in both LDS connectors for future reference.
