AWS Marketplace announces support for sellers and channel partners to create contract pricing private offers in four new currencies, and choose non-US bank accounts for disbursement. These features make it easier for sellers and buyers to do business globally by simplifying funds flow.
Sellers can now create private offers with contract pricing in EUR, GBP, JPY, and AUD and receive their disbursements in the offer currency. Additionally, sellers are no longer required to have a US-domiciled bank account. Instead, they can choose to receive payments into one or more bank accounts located in any seller eligible jurisdiction. For channel partner private offers (CPPO), the seller, channel partner, and buyer must all transact in the same currency. Sellers need to issue a resale authorization in the negotiated currency, and the channel partner then creates the CPPO in that currency.
These capabilities help AWS Marketplace sellers achieve an expanded global reach and simplified cash flow management using local bank accounts in local currency. For AWS Marketplace buyers, these features provide the ability to procure software and services in their preferred currency and eliminate foreign exchange risk in invoice amounts.
This new functionality is available worldwide for all AWS Marketplace sellers for contract-based private offers. Public offers and private offers with consumption pricing remain in USD only. To get started, sellers need to provide bank accounts with SWIFT codes and associate currency preferences. To learn more, please visit the documentation on local currency offers and disbursements.
