      Marisa [MSFT] Monday, April 13, 2015 8:59 PM

      The price tier value updates for Windows Store are underway and all paid items will be updated over the course of this week.  The initial maintenance was shorter than expected and app ingestion is operational again. 

      You can see the updated prices reflected in Windows Phone Dev Center now.  We will confirm when updated prices are also available in Windows Dev Center.

      Reminder: Windows Store price tier value updates begin Monday, April 13
      Marisa [MSFT] Friday, April 10, 2015 5:19 PM

      Further to the email sent to all developers on March 20, 2015, a reminder that next Monday (April 13) the 96 Windows Store price tiers will be updated with new values.  These price tier values are updated periodically to maintain consistency across currencies, accounting for changes in foreign exchange rates, taxes, and other geographic pricing considerations.  With this update, the US Dollar (USD) price in each tier will remain the same, with the prices in all other currencies adjusted relative to the USD price. 

      Here is an example of a price update for a paid app published in the United States and China:

                           
         

      Before update   

         

       

         
         

      After update

                                                      
         

      Product Price in
          US Dollars (USD)

         
         

      Equivalent Product
          Price in Chinese Yuan (CNY)

         
         

       

         
         

      Product Price in
          US Dollars (USD)

         
         

      Equivalent Product
          Price in Chinese Yuan (CNY)

         
         

      2.99 USD

         
         

      18     CNY

         
         

       

         
         

      2.99 USD

         
         

      18.50     CNY

         

      The price tier value changes will take place automatically, there is no action required on your part.  After April 13, the price tier values will be updated in Dev Center, and all paid items in the Store will be updated over the course of the week.  We recommend that you review the updated prices for your paid apps and in-app products in Dev Center after April 13 and make any desired changes.

      To support the updates on April 13, app ingestion will be stopped from approximately 11AM to 3PM Pacific Time.  During this time newly published apps and apps updates will be queued.  App ingestion will resume immediately following this maintenance window.
