Number of Seats/Users: ICE Click-to-Chat offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows ICE Click-to-Chat that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from ICE Click-to-Chat. ICE Click-to-Chat reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: ICE Click-to-Chat offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from ICE Click-to-Chat. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: ICE Click-to-Chat often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.
