Preparing your product for AWS Marketplace

You can prepare and publish your software products to be sold through AWS Marketplace. Preparing your product involves configuring your package, setting a pricing scheme, determining the relevant categories in which to list your product, and adding keywords so your product appears in relevant searches. If you are an independent software vendor (ISV), channel partner, managed services provider (MSP), or individual who has something to offer that works with AWS products and services, you can use this process to prepare to publish a product on AWS Marketplace. The following topics guide you through the steps to successfully prepare and publish your product on AWS Marketplace.

Product delivery for AWS Marketplace

Each product delivery method has several options for packaging, pricing, and delivery. Some methods aren't available to you as a seller on AWS Marketplace until you register for the program supporting it.

You can create products with a standard list price and end user license agreement (EULA). You can also create private offers for individual customers with custom pricing and EULAs. If you need to make additional changes to the terms of the contract, you can work with the AWS Marketplace team to create a custom private offer. To simplify the procurement process, you can use standardized license terms for both public product listings and private offers.

Note

AWS offers certain sellers the option to provide guided demonstrations on AWS Marketplace. If you're an AWS Partner Network (APN) partner who's eligible for APN Customer Engagements (ACE) and you'd like to provide this option to buyers, contact your AWS representative to determine further eligibility.

The following table lists the methods that you can use to deliver software products and how AWS Marketplace buyers find each type of deliverable in the AWS Marketplace console.
