AWS Marketplace Launches Express Private Offers for Buyers

If needs exceed those parameters, customers can be routed to sales for more tailored deals. This capability is available in all AWS Regions where the Marketplace site is supported.

Buyers can download a PDF summary of the tax and invoicing details to support procurement approvals, budgeting, and issuing purchase orders to the correct invoicing entity. This capability is available today in all AWS Regions where AWS Marketplace is supported.

AWS Marketplace Agreement Events Now via EventBridge

🔔 AWS Marketplace now publishes purchase agreement lifecycle events through Amazon EventBridge, replacing prior Amazon SNS notifications for Software as a Service and Professional Services product types. Sellers (Independent Software Vendors and Channel Partners) and buyers receive notifications for creation, termination, amendment, replacement, renewal, cancellation, and expiration. ISVs also get license-specific events to manage customer entitlements. EventBridge routing supports targets such as AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Step Functions, and can remain compatible with existing SNS-based workflows.

AWS Marketplace Enables Local INR Transactions for India

This capability is available today in all supported AWS Regions.

AWS Marketplace Adds EUR, GBP, AUD, JPY for Private Offers
