AWS Marketplace

Access your private offers through the AWS Marketplace console

As an AWS Marketplace buyer, you can now view your AWS Marketplace private offers information directly in the AWS Marketplace Console. Buyers currently rely on deep links sent by their consulting partners or sellers via email to access their private offers. Tracking links to private offers was a manual process. In some cases, sellers sent private offers to an email address no longer used or to a contact person that is out of office or no longer with the company. Moreover, after subscribing to a private offer, buyers could not identify which of their active agreements were purchased via private offer. Now, you can identify all private offers extended directly to your AWS account or payer account (if applicable) in one location.

The AWS Marketplace Console private offers page provides the following information:

  • Available offers tab
  • Accepted and expired offers tab
  • Ability to filter by offer ID, product, seller of record, publisher, offer received and expiration dates
  • Active agreements associated with accepted private offers
  • Ability for linked accounts in an AWS organization to see private offers extended to the payer account (management account) in your AWS organization.

In this post, Ryan and I will show you how to use the new private offers page on the AWS Marketplace console to better manage your private offers throughout their lifecycle.

Using the private offers page

To use the private offers page, do the following:

  1. Sign into your AWS account and access the private offers page in the AWS Marketplace console.
