AWS Marketplace introduces localized billing for Professional Services from AWS EMEA
AWS Marketplace now offers a more localized experience for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) customers purchasing Professional Service solutions via AWS EMEA Marketplace Operator.
Customers can now procure Professional Services using localized payment methods and receive invoices from AWS EMEA. This removes previous procurement barriers caused by complex payment remittance processes between different AWS entities, which made it difficult for EMEA customers to purchase Professional Services through AWS Marketplace.
Key benefits include support for SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area) payment methods and invoicing consistency from the same AWS entity covering all AWS Marketplace purchases via AWS EMEA Marketplace Operator. This capability is ideal for EMEA customers purchasing consulting, implementation, or managed services through AWS Marketplace. It also benefits organizations that prefer local payment methods such as SEPA direct debit, want to consolidate AWS and Marketplace billing, or are seeking a simpler procurement experience for Professional Services.
This capability is available for EMEA customers who purchase professional services solutions in AWS Marketplace, with AWS EMEA as the Marketplace Operator. To learn more about purchasing Professional Services products in AWS Marketplace and receive invoices issued by AWS EMEA, visit the AWS Marketplace Buyer Guide and AWS EMEA Marketplace FAQs.
