There are various kinds of offers / services, you can sell through Microsoft CSP. These can be broadly categorized as
License Based Services
Usage Based Services (Microsoft Azure)

In this post, we will explore more into License Based Services available through Microsoft CSP channel. If you are a 1-Tier or Direct Partner, you can get the list of offers from Microsoft Partner Center. You can navigate to CSP > Sell > Pricing and Offers to download the list of all available services (Office 365, Enterprise Mobility Suite, Dynamics 365 etc.).

There are couple of things to consider:
Same offer might be available to sell through different license types (Corporate, Government, Academic and Charity)
License Based Services can be sold at a monthly billing frequency or annual billing frequency. To learn more about annual billing, check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/faq-about-new-billing-features
