SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 26, 2026
Vardot, a digital partner specializing in enterprise, open-source web platforms built on Drupal, today announced that it is a published independent software vendor on Microsoft Marketplace, with two platforms now available: the Varbase Enterprise Platform and the VarGive Enterprise Donations Platform.
Both are published as transactable offers, which means Microsoft bills, collects, and remits payment on Vardot's behalf. Customers can contract and pay through the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement or Microsoft Customer Agreement their procurement and legal teams have already approved, and the purchase appears as a line on an existing Microsoft invoice rather than as a new supplier to onboard.
For the organizations Vardot serves, the significance is procurement rather than payments. In nonprofit, intergovernmental, government, and higher education programmes, platform decisions are more often delayed by supplier registration, legal review, and procurement thresholds than by budget. Marketplace procurement lets an organization reuse an approval it has already granted to Microsoft.
The Listings
Offer type
Transactable SaaS
Billing
Microsoft, through the customer's existing Enterprise Agreement or Microsoft Customer Agreement
Custom terms
Available through Microsoft private offers
Negotiated pricing, terms, duration, and configuration are handled through private offers, which a publisher extends to one named customer for acceptance inside that customer's Microsoft portal. Related Vardot services, including implementation, migration, and support, are available through the same route and are delivered virtually.
Varbase is Vardot's enterprise Drupal distribution, built on Drupal CMS as an extension rather than a fork, with governed editorial workflow, security configuration, on-site SEO tooling, multilingual and right-to-left support, and AI capabilities applied as discrete recipes against the customer's own provider key.
VarGive is an open source donation platform for global NGOs running fundraising across multiple markets, currencies, and languages, with zero platform commission on donations, Salesforce integration, and PCI-DSS compliant payment handling.
Both platforms remain open source and host wherever the customer's policy requires, including on-premises. Marketplace availability changes the contracting route, not the architecture, the hosting model, or data ownership.
Since 2011, Vardot has designed, built, and supported more than 200 platforms across 30+ countries for the organizations the world relies on: UN agencies, nonprofits, universities, media networks, and global enterprises. Everything Vardot builds, the client owns: the code, the data, and the roadmap.
About Microsoft Marketplace
Microsoft Marketplace is Microsoft's commercial storefront for cloud solutions and business applications. For transactable offers, Microsoft acts as the publisher's agent and takes responsibility for billing, payment, and collection, deducting a 3% standard store service fee from the publisher's payout rather than adding it to the customer's price. Customers purchase through their existing Microsoft agreement, and private offers allow publishers to extend negotiated pricing, terms, and duration to a named customer.
