Configuration
Enable the Sharlic Integration
Log into Wasabi Account Control Manager (WACM) console and navigate to the “Integrations” tab in the left-hand sidebar.
Locate the Sharlic integration and click “Enable”.
Click on “Enable” again.
WACM will generate an API Key and associate it with a Key Name.
Note: Remember to store this key as you will only be able to download and save it once.
Connect to Wasabi in Sharlic
Log into Sharlic with your administrator credentials and navigate to the “Verified Partners” tab.
Click on “Wasabi”.
Enter the “Key Name” and “API Key” generated from your WACM Integration.
Click on “Connect”.
Select Accounts to Import
After successfully connecting your Wasabi account, Sharlic will display a list of available channel and sub-accounts based on the account type you connected:
If you connected a control account, you’ll see all channel accounts and any sub-accounts directly linked to it.
If you connected a channel account, you’ll only see the sub-accounts under that channel.
Use the checkboxes to select which accounts to import, then click “+ Add selected” to proceed.
Note: To select all accounts, click the upper left check box.
Configure Subscriptions and Billing Rules
1. For each selected account:
Assign it to an existing or new customer in Sharlic.
Select or create an article, which defines the pricing logic.
Choose a billing frequency (e.g., monthly, quarterly, yearly).
When creating a customer, Sharlic will import billing information from WACM if you have previously filled it in there.
If not, simply populate all required fields and press “Save”.
Articles allow total flexibility in how you bill your customers, by allowing you to change the base values that Sharlic uses to generate the invoices:
Pay-as-you-go: Charge per TB stored per month.
Quota-based: Set a base quota with overage pricing.
Prepaid plans: Offer annual storage at a fixed price by setting a different Term.
Note: The currency of the article is locked to the currency of the selected customer, and the dropdown menus will only show existing articles in the correct currency.
By clicking “Import”, Sharlic will then link the account to a license, nested within a subscription.
Monitor and Manage Subscriptions
1. Go to the “Subscriptions” tab in Sharlic to view all imported subscriptions.
Each subscription displays, among other things:
Customer name
Billing model
Sales partners
Next invoice date
Actions such as detailed notifications for each license.
Let Sharlic Handle the Billing
Sharlic will now automatically:
Track storage usage from Wasabi using the same metrics Wasabi bills you with.
Generate customer invoices on your chosen billing schedule.
Apply your selected pricing model for each customer.
Send invoices to your customers via email or integrated billing platforms (depending on your Sharlic configuration).
Note: You remain in full control of pricing and invoicing. Sharlic simply automates what would otherwise be manual and error-prone work.
