No—if you're using the new flow via the Store marketing page and you’re in one of the pilot markets (Canada, Australia, or India). If you land on the old Partner Center onboarding flow, the registration fee still applies.

You must begin your journey at [storedeveloper.microsoft.com](https://storedeveloper.microsoft.com). This is the only supported entry point during the flighting phase. Other paths (e.g., direct via Partner Center, Xbox, or Visual Studio) will show the legacy flow.

No—if you're using the new flow via the [Store marketing page](http://storedeveloper.microsoft.com/) in a flighted market (starting with India). If you land on the legacy flow via other entry points or are in a non-flighted market, the registration fee still applies.
