Microsoft Teams: Ability to purchase third-party app subscriptions from Teams Admin Center and Teams app store

Microsoft Teams will soon offer an enhanced purchase experience for third-party app subscriptions via Teams Admin Center and Teams app store. This update, associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 179897, aims to simplify the subscription process with a new user interface. It will roll out in late June 2024, with no preparatory action required.

We will soon enable enhanced purchase experience in both the Teams Admin Center and the Teams app store. This improvement will empower administrators and end-users to seamlessly assess the plans offered by an app and secure third-party app subscriptions that optimally meet their needs. The aim of this overhauled experience is to simplify and expedite the subscription purchase journey, from choosing a plan to finalizing and reviewing the billing details.

Our goal in refreshing our purchase user experience with new designs and structures is to offer a more recognizable user interface. This will enable users to comfortably identify the most suitable plan for their needs without being inundated by choices and facilitate a smooth plan purchase.
