Purchases made through Microsoft, Google Cloud, or any other marketplace are not covered. Suger's selling-side products span six marketplaces — the buying side does not. The basics ## What is cloud marketplace procurement management? Cloud marketplace procurement management is the practice of controlling software bought through a cloud marketplace — the vendors, the offers, the entitlements, the invoices, and the internal approvals behind them — from one system. Suger Buyer Service is that system for AWS Marketplace. Marketplace buying is easy to start and hard to govern. A single private offer can commit a company for three years, and the record of it usually lives in an inbox. Buyer Service puts the vendor, the offer, the entitlement it creates, and the invoices it generates on one record, with the approval that authorized it attached. - One list of vendors and the products you buy from them - Purchase requests that route through your own approvers - Private offers reviewed before acceptance, tracked after - Charges, invoices, and payment status in one view ### Who uses Buyer Service A marketplace purchase touches four groups that rarely share a system of record. Buyer Service gives them the same one. Procurement & sourcing Own the vendor list, raise purchase requests, and keep contract records straight. Finance & approvers See what an offer commits the company to before signing, then follow the invoices it generates. IT & application owners Know which entitlements are live, who they belong to, and when they end. Cloud & FinOps leads Watch marketplace spend and commitments in one place instead of per-vendor portals. What's inside ## Seven modules, one procurement record Buyer Service is organized around seven modules that follow a purchase from first contact with a vendor to the last invoice it produces. Each one writes to the same record, so nothing has to be re-keyed between them. 01 ### Quick Guide Orientation for a new buyer organization — how the pieces fit together and the order to set them up in. 02 ### Buyer Journey The end-to-end path a purchase takes, from finding a vendor to accepting an offer, holding an entitlement, and paying the invoice. 03 ### Home The central dashboard: marketplace spend, commitments, and what currently needs someone's attention. 04 ### Vendor Discover vendors and products, manage the relationship, and collaborate with the vendor from one record. 05 ### Offer and Entitlement Review vendor offers, accept or decline private offers, and manage entitlements once an offer is accepted. 06 ### Invoice and Payment Track charges, monitor invoices, and follow payment status without emailing the vendor for a copy. 07 ### Request and Task Raise purchase requests, route them through internal approval workflows, and keep every open task in one queue. Every module is documented in the [Suger Buyer Service documentation](https://doc.suger.io/as-buyer/). Home ## Marketplace spend and commitments on one dashboard Home is the landing view of Buyer Service: marketplace spend and commitments for the whole organization, plus whatever currently needs someone to act. It answers the question every approver asks first — what have we already committed to? ### Spend in aggregate, not per vendor One number for what the organization is spending through the marketplace, instead of a tab per vendor portal. ### Commitments in view before the next signature See the commitment position alongside spend, so the person approving the next offer is not guessing. ### Open items in one place Offers awaiting review, requests awaiting approval, and invoices awaiting payment are tracked centrally rather than vendor by vendor.

One record per vendor holds the products, the offers, and the conversation. ### Discovery Search vendors and products available on AWS Marketplace when a team asks for something new. ### Relationship management Keep the vendors you buy from in one directory, with the products and offers tied to each one. ### Vendor collaboration Work with the vendor inside Buyer Service rather than across a thread that only one person can see. Offer and Entitlement ## Review the offer before you accept it — and track it after A private offer is a contract. Buyer Service is where your team reviews vendor offers, accepts or declines them, and then manages the entitlements that acceptance creates — so the contract record stays accurate past the day it was signed. ### Review before acceptance Vendor offers land in one queue where the people who need to see the terms can see them. ### Accept or decline Take the decision in the same place the offer was reviewed, with the outcome recorded against the vendor. ### Entitlements after the fact Manage what you are actually entitled to once an offer is accepted, and keep contract records accurate. Private offer Awaiting review Northwind Data — Platform Enterprise Offer NW-2291 · AWS Marketplace Total contract value $540,000 Term 36 months Payment schedule 3 annual installments Offer expires in 11 days Internal approval Finance · pending Accept offer Decline Purchase request #1042 In approval Halcyon Security — Threat Console Requested by Platform Engineering · $186,000 / yr ✓ Requester Platform Engineering ✓ Procurement Sourcing review 3 Finance Budget approval 4 Security Vendor assessment 2 of 4 approvals complete Request and Task ## Purchase requests that route through your approvers Buyer Service turns a marketplace purchase into a structured request. Someone raises it, it moves through your internal approval workflow, and every open item stays in a central task queue instead of a chain of forwarded emails. ### Structured purchase requests Requests capture what is being bought and from whom, so approvers review the same facts every time. ### Internal approval workflows Route a request through the people who have to sign off, with the current stage visible to everyone. ### Centralized task tracking One queue of open requests and tasks, so nothing sits waiting on a person who never saw it. Invoice and Payment ## Know what you were charged, and what is still outstanding Buyer Service tracks charges, shows the invoices behind them, and reports payment status — held against the vendor and entitlement that produced each one. Financial visibility is the point of the whole exercise, and it is the part that usually goes missing when marketplace buying is run out of an inbox. ### Charge tracking Follow what the organization is being charged across the vendors it buys from. ### Invoice monitoring See invoices in the same system as the entitlement they belong to, not only in a billing export. ### Payment status Know what has been paid and what has not, without asking the vendor for a statement. Invoices Last 90 days Paid $1.4M Outstanding $312K Overdue $0 Invoice Amount Status INV-8831 Meridian Observability $118,000 Paid INV-8829 Northwind Data $180,000 Paid INV-8842 Halcyon Security $186,000 Issued INV-8845 Bracket Analytics $126,000 Issued Both sides of the transaction ## Why a seller's platform has a buyer product Suger sells to software vendors, and Buyer Service is the counterpart for the organizations buying from them. 250+ software companies run marketplace listings on the platform, and $6B+ in marketplace transactions has passed through it — every one of those transactions had a buyer on the other end. A private offer looks very different depending on which end of it you sit on. If you are the vendor issuing one, the seller-side pages below are the right place to start. ### You are buying You receive private offers, approve them internally, hold the entitlements, and pay the invoices. That is Buyer Service — this page. [ ### You are selling You build the offer, set the pricing, and route it for internal approval before it reaches a buyer. See private offer software for sellers](/platform/private-offers/)[ ### You are tracking the contract An accepted offer becomes an agreement on both sides. Sellers manage theirs in Suger Agreements. See marketplace agreement management](/platform/agreements/) ## Frequently asked questions Common questions from procurement, finance, and sourcing teams What is cloud marketplace procurement management? Cloud marketplace procurement management is the practice of controlling software purchases made through a cloud marketplace — the vendors, the offers, the entitlements, the invoices, and the internal approvals behind them — from one system instead of a mix of vendor portals, email threads, and spreadsheets. Does Suger Buyer Service work with marketplaces other than AWS? No. Buyer Service currently supports purchases from AWS Marketplace only. If your organization also buys through Microsoft, Google Cloud, or another marketplace, those purchases are not covered today. How do internal approvals work? A purchase request is raised in Buyer Service and routed through your organization's approval workflow. Approvers review the request in the same place the vendor offer and its terms live, and every open item stays visible in the request and task queue. How does this relate to our AWS committed spend? Whether a given purchase draws down an AWS commitment is governed by your agreement with AWS, not by Suger. What Buyer Service adds is visibility: marketplace spend and commitments on one dashboard, so approvers can see the position before another offer is accepted. Who at our company uses Buyer Service? Anyone involved in a marketplace purchase. Procurement raises and tracks requests, finance reviews offers and follows invoices, application owners watch entitlements, and approvers sign off — all against the same vendor and offer records. How does Buyer Service relate to the rest of Suger? Suger's other products are built for the software vendors selling through cloud marketplaces. Buyer Service is the counterpart for the organizations buying from them — the same transaction, seen from the side that approves and pays for it. What happens to an offer after we accept it? Accepting a private offer creates an entitlement, and Buyer Service manages it from there — alongside the contract record behind it and the charges and invoices that follow, all held against the vendor the offer came from. Full setup and module reference lives in the [Suger Buyer Service documentation](https://doc.suger.io/as-buyer/) — or [contact the Suger team](/contact-us/) about access for your organization. ## Bring your marketplace purchases under one roof See how procurement, finance, and IT run AWS Marketplace buying from a single record.

S Suger Signed in Integrations Offer errors Mapping scripts Are my marketplace integrations connected? AWS Marketplace Connected Azure Marketplace Connected Google Cloud Marketplace Connected Illustrative example. What it is ## Suger, in the browser you already have open The Suger Chrome extension is an AI-powered side panel that gives you access to Suger directly in Chrome for cloud marketplace operations. Install it, sign in, and work with Suger on the pages you already visit. Marketplace work rarely happens in one place. You are in a cloud provider console, a CRM record, a support thread, or a spec — and the question that stops you is a Suger question. The side panel answers it where the question came up, instead of sending you to another tab to reconstruct the context. Skills ## Three skills, built for the things that block a marketplace launch A skill is a task the side panel is trained to complete on its own. The extension ships with three, each aimed at a failure that usually costs an afternoon: a silent integration, an offer that will not create, and a mapping script written by hand. ### Verify marketplace integrations Confirm that your AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud marketplace integrations are connected. Integration problems usually surface as a listing that will not publish or an offer that will not send. Ask the side panel to check the AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplace integrations before you spend an afternoon on the symptom. ### Diagnose private offer errors Find out why a private offer failed to create, without leaving the tab. Private offer creation fails for reasons that are rarely obvious from the error alone. The side panel reads the failure and explains what went wrong, so the fix goes back to the person who can make it. ### Generate private offer mapping scripts Produce the mapping script for a private offer instead of hand-writing it. Mapping offer data into the shape a marketplace expects is repetitive work that breaks quietly. Describe the mapping you need and the side panel generates the script for you to review. These three are the full documented skill set. The [Suger extension skills reference](https://doc.suger.io/chrome-extension/skills/) is the source of truth as more are added. Getting started ## Installed and signed in in a couple of minutes There is no separate account, no workspace to provision, and nothing to configure per marketplace. 1 ### Install the extension Add the Suger extension to Chrome. The quick guide in the docs walks through installation end to end. 2 ### Sign in to Suger Sign in once with your existing Suger account. The panel works against the same organization you use in the console. 3 ### Open the side panel Open the panel on whatever page you are already working in and ask for the skill you need.

Browse the skills reference](https://doc.suger.io/chrome-extension/skills/) ## Suger Chrome extension questions What it does, what it needs, and what it deliberately leaves to the console. What is the Suger Chrome extension? The Suger Chrome extension is an AI-powered side panel that puts Suger in your browser for cloud marketplace operations. You install it, sign in with your Suger account, and use it on the pages you already work in. What can the side panel actually do? Three documented skills: verify your AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud marketplace integrations, diagnose private offer creation errors, and generate private offer mapping scripts. The skills reference in the Suger docs covers each one in detail. Do I need a Suger account to use it? Yes. The extension is a companion to the Suger platform, not a standalone tool. You sign in with your existing Suger account, and the side panel works against the same organization and data you see in the console. Which marketplaces does integration verification cover? AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Those are the three the integration verification skill is documented against. Every marketplace Suger supports is still managed in the console and the API. Does the extension handle partner deal registration? Outbound deal registration and CRM auto-fill belong to Suger PRM, not to the marketplace-operations skills documented here. See the Suger PRM page for how partner deals get registered and synced to Salesforce or HubSpot. Does it replace the Suger console? No. The side panel is for quick checks and fixes while you are working elsewhere in the browser. Listing management, offer creation, metering, and reporting stay in the Suger console and API. ## Put Suger in every tab See the side panel and the rest of the Suger platform on a live walkthrough with our team.

Insulin · Marketplace AllAgentsSkills Scope: Organization Marketplace Ops Agent Installed Deal Desk Review Agent Install Offer Drafting Skill Install Referral Hygiene Skill Install Install for Just me Whole org Definition ## What is the Insulin AI agent marketplace? The Insulin Marketplace is the discovery and installation hub for reusable Insulin components — agents and skills — inside the Suger console. Worth saying plainly, because Suger is otherwise a company about cloud marketplaces: this is not a cloud marketplace. AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle are where you list and sell your software to buyers. The Insulin Marketplace is internal, and what it distributes is the AI that helps your own team run the business. The problem it solves is duplication. Once one person has built a well-scoped deal desk agent, there is no reason for the next four to rebuild it. Publish it once, install it wherever it is needed, and let each team ground it in their own documents. Cloud marketplaces ### Where you sell your software AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle. Suger runs the listings, private offers, co-sell, metering, and billing behind all six. - Buyers discover and purchase your product - Transactions draw down committed cloud spend - Managed on the Suger platform [See the Suger platform](/platform/) The Insulin Marketplace ### Where you get the AI that runs your workspace An internal catalogue of reusable agents and skills, installable for a single user or for the entire organization. - Your team installs agents and skills - No buyers, no transactions, no listings - Lives inside Suger Insulin [See the Insulin workspace](/platform/insulin/) What you can install ## Two kinds of reusable component The Insulin Marketplace distributes agents and skills. An agent is a whole specialist; a skill is a capability you bolt onto one. Both install per-user or org-wide. ### Agents A complete specialist, ready to use — instructions, model choice, and the shape of its remit already defined. Install it, point it at your integrations and knowledge bases, and adjust the instructions to match how your team works. - Arrives configured - Editable after install - Scoped by you ### Skills A reusable capability you add to agents you already have. Rather than replacing a specialist, a skill extends one — so the agent your team has tuned keeps its instructions and gains a new thing it can do. - Attach to existing agents - Composable - Reusable across the org Install scope ## Try it on one account. Roll it out to everyone. Every component installs at one of two scopes, which is what lets a team evaluate honestly before it standardises. Install for yourself, use it on real work for a week, then push it org-wide if it earns its place. Install for yourself Try something on your own account first. It appears in your workspace only, so you can evaluate it against real work before anyone else sees it. Install for the organization Roll the same component out org-wide once it earns its place, so every team starts from the same specialist instead of each person building their own.

Install scope Just me Only your workspace Whole organization Everyone in your Suger org Configure after install Integration accessKnowledge basesInstructionsModel Install for organization After you install ## An installed component behaves like one you built Nothing about an installed agent is locked. It joins your agent list, takes the integration scope and knowledge bases you give it, and works across every Insulin surface exactly as a home-built specialist would. [ ### Available in chat An installed agent joins your agent list and answers in chat like any specialist you built yourself. Read the Chat docs](https://doc.suger.io/insulin/chat/)[ ### Grounded by your knowledge bases Attach your own documents so an installed agent answers from your policies, not from generic assumptions.

Explore scheduled AI jobs](/platform/insulin/jobs/)[ ### Present in channels Bring it into a shared thread so teammates and other agents can work alongside it asynchronously. Read the Channels docs](https://doc.suger.io/insulin/channels/) Why it matters ## Build the specialist once, not once per person The value of an agent compounds only if it is shared. A marketplace turns a good agent from one person's private tool into something the whole organization starts from. - Stop rebuilding the same agent on five accounts - Try a component on your own account first - Standardise on one specialist per domain - Extend agents with skills instead of replacing them - Installed components keep the scope you grant them - New teammates start from what already works How it works ## Browse, install, scope, run The Insulin Marketplace lives in the Suger console alongside your agents, so installing is a few clicks rather than a deployment. 1 ### Browse Open the Insulin Marketplace in the Suger console and look through the reusable agents and skills available to you. 2 ### Install Add it to your own account to evaluate it, or install it org-wide when it is ready for everyone. 3 ### Scope and ground Grant the integrations it needs and attach the knowledge bases that hold your policy. 4 ### Put it to work Use it in chat, invite it into a channel, or schedule it as a job so it runs on its own.

It is the discovery and installation hub for reusable Insulin components — agents and skills. You browse what is available, install what you need, and it appears in your Insulin workspace ready to configure. Is this the same as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Marketplace? No. Those are cloud marketplaces where you list and sell your software to buyers. The Insulin Marketplace is internal to the Suger console: it distributes AI agents and skills that help your team run the business. What is the difference between an agent and a skill? An agent is a complete specialist with its own instructions, model, and scope. A skill is a reusable capability you add to an agent you already have, extending what it can do without replacing it. Can I install something for just myself? Yes. Components install per-user or org-wide. Most teams evaluate on a single account first, then roll the component out to the organization once it has proven useful. Can we change an installed agent after installing it? Yes. An installed agent is yours to adjust — its instructions, the integrations it can reach, and the knowledge bases that ground it are all set by you after install. ## Install the specialist your team already needs See how the Insulin Marketplace distributes reusable AI agents and skills across your organization.

Model Balanced Scoped access ListingsOffersEntitlementsSalesforce Knowledge base Listing Playbook 42 docs What they are ## A specialist for every part of the business An Insulin agent is a specialized AI assistant scoped to a single task or business domain. Rather than one general assistant that knows a little about everything, you create a set of specialists — each with its own remit, its own model, and access only to the systems its work requires. That scoping is what makes agents useful in marketplace work. A deal desk agent that only sees offers behaves predictably. A finance agent grounded in your own reconciliation runbook answers from the runbook, not from a guess. Insulin ships with a default agent so you can start immediately, then add specialists as your team finds the work worth handing off. - Its own instructions A system prompt that fixes the agent's remit, tone, and the rules it must follow — so a finance agent behaves like finance, not like a general chatbot. - Its own model Pick the model that suits the work. A quick triage agent and a deep analysis agent do not need the same one. - Scoped integrations Grant access only to the connected systems the agent needs. Scope is the boundary, so an agent cannot reach data outside its job. - Skills you add Extend an agent with reusable skills, including ones installed from the Insulin Marketplace. How they connect ## Agents sit at the centre of the Insulin workspace Agents do the work; every other Insulin surface exists to feed them, run them, or share them. Knowledge bases ground an agent, jobs run it, channels let it collaborate, the Insulin Marketplace distributes it, and chat is how you talk to it. [ ### Knowledge Bases ground them Attach your own documents so the agent answers from your pricing, contracts, and runbooks — with cited sources. Explore Knowledge Bases](/platform/insulin/knowledge-bases/)[ ### Jobs run them Put an agent on a schedule, fire it once, or trigger it from a business event — no one has to remember to ask. Explore Jobs](/platform/insulin/jobs/)[ ### Channels let them collaborate Bring several teammates and several agents into one shared thread and work through it asynchronously.

Explore the AI agent marketplace](/platform/insulin/agent-marketplace/)[ ### Chat is how you talk to them Streaming answers, tool execution, file attachments, and approval workflows before an agent acts on your behalf. Read the Chat docs](https://doc.suger.io/insulin/chat/) Where teams point them ## Scope an agent to the work your team actually owns Agents are yours to define — Insulin does not decide what they cover. These are the domains marketplace teams tend to carve out first, each one a natural boundary for instructions, integration scope, and knowledge. - Marketplace operations Listing state, offer status, and entitlement questions across the marketplaces you sell on. - Deal desk Drafting and reviewing private offers against your own approval rules. - Finance Disbursement, invoice, and revenue questions answered from your own reporting. - Alliances and co-sell Referral records and partner activity across the hyperscaler programs you run. - RevOps CRM hygiene checks and recurring reporting that nobody wants to do by hand. - Support Grounded answers pulled from internal runbooks instead of tribal knowledge.

Nothing to configure, no API keys to manage. 2 ### Create a specialist Give the new agent its instructions, choose a model, and grant it only the integrations its work requires. 3 ### Ground and extend it Attach knowledge bases so answers cite your own documents, and add skills from the Insulin Marketplace. 4 ### Put it to work Share it with your team, invite it into a channel, or hand it to a job so it runs on a schedule. Agents are part of [Suger Insulin](/platform/insulin/), the AI workspace in the Suger console — [view pricing](/pricing/) or [contact sales](/contact-us/) for availability. Next: put an agent on a timer with [scheduled AI jobs](/platform/insulin/jobs/), ground it with an [AI knowledge base](/platform/insulin/knowledge-bases/), or install one from the [AI agent marketplace](/platform/insulin/agent-marketplace/). Suger supports listings and offers across six cloud marketplaces, so an agent scoped to marketplace operations works the same wherever your deals land. ## Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about Insulin agents What is an AI agent in Suger Insulin? An Insulin agent is a specialized AI assistant scoped to a single task or business domain. Each agent has its own instructions, model, integration access, and skills, so it behaves like a specialist rather than a general-purpose chatbot. How is an agent different from chat? Chat is the conversation surface; an agent is who you are talking to. The same agent can answer in chat, work alongside teammates in a channel, or run unattended inside a scheduled job. How do agents avoid making things up? Attach a knowledge base. The agent searches your own documents before answering and returns cited sources, so responses are grounded in your company's information rather than model guesswork. Can an agent take actions, not just answer questions? Yes. Agents execute tools against the integrations you grant them, and tool execution runs through approval workflows in chat — so you see the plan and approve it before anything happens. Do I have to build every agent from scratch? No. The Insulin Marketplace is a discovery and installation hub for reusable agents and skills. Install one for yourself or for the whole organization, then adjust its instructions and scope to fit your team. ## Put an AI specialist on every workflow See how Insulin agents answer from your own data and act inside the systems you already run.

See the [Inbox App](/platform/insulin/inbox-app/). ## Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about Insulin Custom Apps What is a Custom App in Insulin? A Custom App is a reusable interface, dashboard, form, or workflow tool generated and edited with the Insulin app builder. You describe what you need and the AI builds a working app your team can run and share. Do I need to know how to code to build one? No. You describe the app in plain English (or pick a template) and the builder generates the code, compiles it, and runs safety checks. You refine it by chatting — no development work required. What data can a Custom App use? Each app is scoped to the connected systems you grant it. When you build an app you set its ownership and choose which integrations it can access, so it only pulls from the sources you allow. Can I control who can view or edit an app? Yes. Organization-level apps support role-based access — Viewer, User, Editor, Admin, and Owner — applied org-wide by default and overridable per user, so people get exactly the access they need.

The Inbox App is an AI teammate that watches your inbox and CRM, drafts replies in your voice, and stages CRM actions like offer creation or field updates — all routed through Approvals before anything sends. Which email providers and CRMs does it work with? Gmail or Outlook for email. Salesforce and HubSpot triggers are available today, with Microsoft Dynamics 365 coming soon. Do I need to write code to set up a rule? No. Describe the rule in plain English — what to watch for and what to do — and Insulin generates the structured trigger, match conditions, and context sources for you. Does it send emails or update my CRM automatically? Not by default. Matched emails and CRM actions go to Approvals for review, where you can send, edit, or discard before anything reaches a contact or your CRM. Can Insulin organize my inbox automatically? Yes. Rules can tag and sort incoming email as it arrives — a built-in Todo tag plus custom tags you define, like matching a keyword in the subject line — so your inbox is already classified by the time you open it. ## Let your inbox work for you See how the Inbox App drafts replies and stages CRM actions automatically.

An AI automation job is an agent set to run on its own. In Insulin, a job pairs one of your agents with a task and a trigger, then executes it unattended — one time, on a recurring schedule, or when a business event fires. The point is not that the agent is faster than you. It is that the run happens whether or not anyone remembers it. The month-end check, the Monday digest, the sweep that only matters when something drifts — all of it moves off a person's to-do list and onto a schedule. One-time ### Run it once Kick off a single unattended run — a backfill, an audit, a one-off sweep across your records — and pick the results up when it finishes. Recurring ### Run it on a schedule Put the agent on a timer so the work happens every morning, every Monday, or at month-end without anyone remembering to ask. Event-driven ### Run it on a business event Let a change in the business start the run, so the agent reacts when something actually happens instead of waiting for the next tick of the clock. What you can build ## Jobs marketplace teams tend to build first These are not shipped presets. They are the shape of the work teams hand to a job once they have an agent scoped to the right domain — you describe the task, pick a trigger, and the run is yours. ### A disbursement reconciliation sweep Have an agent compare marketplace disbursements against what your finance system expects and write up the gaps before anyone opens a spreadsheet. ### A co-sell referral hygiene check Point an agent at referral records on a schedule and surface the ones missing a stage, an owner, or a next step. ### A listing check Sweep your marketplace listings for anything that has drifted — a stale pricing dimension, a missing field, a listing that never went live. ### A recurring reporting digest Generate the same summary every Monday from your own data and drop it into the channel the team already reads. ### An entitlement expiry watch Ask an agent to look ahead at what is about to lapse and flag the accounts that need a renewal conversation. ### An overnight data sync review Check that records moved between your connected systems as expected, and raise it in a thread when they did not. New job Agent Finance agent Task Compare yesterday's marketplace disbursements with the finance ledger. List every record that does not match and explain why. Trigger One-time Recurring Event Every day at 07:00 Deliver to #finance-ops channelEmail summary Schedule job How a job is assembled ## Every job is an agent, a task, and a trigger Jobs do not have their own permissions or their own knowledge. They inherit everything from the agent you pick, which is what makes them safe to leave running. [ ### An agent does the work Every job runs an Insulin agent. The agent's instructions, model, and integration scope decide what the run can see and do. Explore Insulin agents](/platform/insulin/agents/)[ ### A knowledge base grounds it Attach your own documents so an unattended run answers from your runbooks and policies, with cited sources. Explore Knowledge Bases](/platform/insulin/knowledge-bases/)[ ### A channel receives the result Land the output in a shared thread where teammates and other agents can pick it up and carry it forward. Read the Channels docs](https://doc.suger.io/insulin/channels/)[ ### Installed skills extend it Agents and skills installed from the Insulin Marketplace are available to the jobs you build on top of them. Explore the AI agent marketplace](/platform/insulin/agent-marketplace/) Why it matters ## The work that only gets done when someone remembers Most marketplace operations problems are not hard — they are simply easy to forget. Jobs take that class of work off people entirely and give it a schedule. - Recurring work stops depending on someone's memory - The same instructions run the same way every time - Findings arrive before the deadline, not after it - Agents keep the integration scope you granted them - Results land where the team already talks - One-time runs handle backfills and audits How it works ## Four steps to a job that keeps running If you can describe the task in chat, you can schedule it. Jobs use the same plain-English instructions. 1 ### Pick the agent Choose the specialist that already has the instructions and integration scope for this work. 2 ### Write the task Describe what the run should do in plain English, the same way you would ask in chat. 3 ### Choose the trigger Run it once, set a recurring schedule, or start it from a business event. 4 ### Review the runs Read the output, adjust the task, and let the job keep going. Jobs are part of [Suger Insulin](/platform/insulin/), the AI workspace in the Suger console — [view pricing](/pricing/) or [contact sales](/contact-us/) for availability. A job is only as good as the agent behind it. Start with [AI agents for cloud marketplace operations](/platform/insulin/agents/), ground them with an [AI knowledge base](/platform/insulin/knowledge-bases/), or install one from the [AI agent marketplace](/platform/insulin/agent-marketplace/).

A job is automated agent execution. You pair an Insulin agent with a task and a trigger, and the agent runs unattended — one time, on a recurring schedule, or when a business event fires. How is a job different from chatting with an agent? Chat is interactive and you are present for it. A job runs the same agent without you there, so recurring work happens on its own schedule and the result is waiting when you look. What kinds of jobs can we build? Anything you would otherwise ask an agent to do on a repeating basis — reconciliation sweeps, co-sell referral hygiene checks, listing checks, recurring digests. You define the task; Insulin does not ship a fixed list. Do jobs work with our own documents and systems? Yes. A job inherits the agent's integration scope and any attached knowledge bases, so an unattended run reads from the same connected systems and grounded documents an interactive session would. Can a job trigger from something happening in the business? Yes. Alongside one-time and recurring schedules, a job can be triggered by a business event, so the agent reacts when a change occurs rather than on the next scheduled tick. ## Give the recurring work a schedule See how Insulin jobs run your agents unattended — once, on a timer, or on a business event.

Anything above 25% off list requires VP of Sales sign-off before the private offer is issued. Sources Discount Approval Matrix.pdf p. 4 Deal Desk Runbook.md § 2.1 Grounded in Deal Desk Policy Definition ## What is an AI knowledge base? An AI knowledge base is a searchable repository of proprietary documents that an AI agent consults before it answers. In Suger Insulin, a knowledge base is how you make sure an agent replies from your own material rather than from a model's general training. That distinction matters more in marketplace operations than almost anywhere else. The rules that govern a private offer, a listing submission, or a co-sell referral are specific to your company and your agreements. A model that has never seen them can only approximate. An agent with a knowledge base attached reads the actual policy and shows you which document it came from. ### Hybrid search finds the passage The agent searches your knowledge base before it answers, combining keyword and semantic matching so the right passage surfaces whether you used the internal jargon or not. ### Cited sources come back with it Responses carry the documents they were drawn from, so a reader can check the claim instead of trusting it. That is the difference between an answer and a guess. ### Your documents stay yours A knowledge base holds your proprietary material, and an agent only reaches the bases you attach to it — scope is the boundary, the same way integration access is. What to load ## The documents your business already runs on You do not need to write anything new. Most teams start by loading material that already exists and is already authoritative — it is simply scattered across drives, wikis, and inboxes today. - Listing playbooks How your team gets a product live on each marketplace, and what tends to go wrong. - Pricing and packaging policy The dimensions, tiers, and discount rules a deal desk answer has to respect. - Private offer approval rules Who signs off on what, at which threshold, and in which order. - Co-sell program requirements What each hyperscaler expects on a referral before it will be accepted. - Contract and legal templates The clauses your team is allowed to agree to without escalation. - Internal runbooks Reconciliation, metering, and support procedures that currently live in one person's head.

Once it is attached to an agent, its grounding follows that agent into chat, into channels, and into every scheduled job it runs. [ ### Agents answer from it Attach one or more knowledge bases to an agent and its answers cite your documents rather than general model training. Explore Insulin agents](/platform/insulin/agents/)[ ### Jobs run against it An unattended scheduled run reads the same grounded material an interactive session would, so overnight output follows your policy too. Explore scheduled AI jobs](/platform/insulin/jobs/)[ ### Chat shows the sources Ask a question in chat and the answer arrives with the documents behind it, alongside the tool calls the agent made. Read the Chat docs](https://doc.suger.io/insulin/chat/)[ ### Channels share the grounding When several teammates and agents work a thread together, everyone sees the same cited material instead of arguing from memory. Read the Channels docs](https://doc.suger.io/insulin/channels/) What changes ## Institutional knowledge stops being a person In most marketplace teams, the answer to "can we discount this?" lives with whoever has been there longest. A knowledge base moves that answer into a document every agent reads and every person can check. - New hires get the same answer a veteran would - Policy lives in a document, not in tribal memory - Every answer can be traced to a source - Update the document, and the answers update - Scheduled runs follow the same rules as people - Agents stay inside the bases you attach How it works ## From scattered documents to grounded answers Start with one domain and one agent. A single well-grounded specialist is worth more than six that guess. 1 ### Create the base Open Insulin in the Suger console and create a knowledge base for one domain — listings, deal desk, finance. 2 ### Add your documents Load the proprietary material that already governs the work: playbooks, policies, templates, runbooks. 3 ### Attach it to an agent Give the specialist that owns the domain access, so its answers are grounded from the first question. 4 ### Check the citations Ask a question you already know the answer to, read the cited sources, and fix the document if the citation is wrong. Knowledge Bases are part of [Suger Insulin](/platform/insulin/), the AI workspace in the Suger console — [view pricing](/pricing/) or [contact sales](/contact-us/) for availability. A knowledge base needs something to ground.

An AI knowledge base is a searchable repository of your own documents that an AI agent consults before answering. It grounds responses in your company's proprietary information instead of the model's general training. How do knowledge bases work in Suger Insulin? You create a knowledge base, add your documents, then attach it to an agent. When that agent answers a question, it searches the base first and returns cited sources alongside the response. What should we put in a knowledge base? The material that already governs the work — listing playbooks, pricing and approval policy, co-sell program requirements, contract templates, and internal runbooks. Anything a new hire would otherwise have to ask someone about. How is this different from a wiki? A wiki waits for someone to search it. A knowledge base is read by the agent on every question, including inside unattended jobs, so the policy is applied rather than merely available. Can we control which agents see which documents? Yes. An agent only reaches the knowledge bases you attach to it, so you can keep finance material with the finance agent and deal desk material with the deal desk agent. ## Ground your AI in your own documents See how Insulin knowledge bases turn scattered playbooks into answers your team can verify.

### Cloud marketplaces Native AWS, Azure, GCP, and Snowflake connections for listings, offers, and agreements. ### CRM sync Salesforce and HubSpot for deals, offers, co-sell, and pipeline management. ### Billing & finance Stripe, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Chargebee for payments and financial operations. ### Notifications Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email for real-time alerts on deal activity. Integration Health System status Active 6 Synced 2,840 Uptime 99.9% Sync Time <1s What customers say > "The Salesforce integration alone saved us from building a custom connector. Offers and agreements sync bidirectionally without any manual work." S Suger Customer Director of Sales Operations FAQ ## Frequently asked questions How long does it take to set up an integration? + Most integrations can be connected in under 5 minutes. Cloud marketplace integrations (AWS, Azure, GCP) require initial credential setup, which typically takes 15–30 minutes with our guided flow. Which CRM integrations sync in real-time? + Salesforce syncs in real-time — offers, agreements, and co-sell data flow bidirectionally without delay. HubSpot supports scheduled syncing with near-real-time capabilities. Can I use multiple billing integrations at once? + Yes. You can connect Stripe for payment processing, NetSuite for ERP sync, and metering tools like Orb or Metronome simultaneously. Data flows between all connected systems. What if my tool isn't listed? + Contact our team to request a new integration. We also offer a REST API and webhook support for custom integrations with any system. Are integrations included in all plans? + Core marketplace and CRM integrations are available on Growth and Enterprise plans. Some advanced integrations (ERP, custom API) may require Enterprise. Check our pricing page for details.

[Platform](/platform) 4. / 5. MCP Server Model Context Protocol # The Suger MCP server puts your cloud GTM inside any AI assistant. Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf to one remote endpoint and ask for what you need in plain language. 128 tools cover products, private offers, entitlements, metering, revenue, and co-sell — with no API key to manage. [Connect your client](#connect) [Read the MCP docs](https://doc.suger.io/mcp/) Endpoint `https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp` AI assistant · suger (MCP) Connected You Which private offers expire in the next 30 days, and what are they worth? QueryOffers → 3 offers returned Offer Cloud Expires offer-8f2a1c $240,000 AWS 6 days offer-4b19de $96,500 Azure 14 days offer-c703b8 $318,000 GCP 27 days Illustrative example. Results come from your own Suger account. What it is ## One endpoint between your assistant and your marketplace data The Suger MCP server is a remote Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to Suger data and services through natural language. It publishes 128 tools across 14 categories at a single HTTPS endpoint, so any MCP-compatible client can list products, build private offers, report usage, or pull a revenue report without a custom integration. Because it speaks MCP rather than a bespoke plugin format, the same connection works across every client that implements the protocol — and it stays current as Suger adds tools, with nothing to redeploy on your side. Endpoint https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp Transport Remote MCP over HTTP Authentication OAuth 2.1 with PKCE Tools 128 across 14 categories Not to be confused with the public MCP server for this website: suger.io runs a separate, read-only endpoint that only searches and reads marketing pages, documented on [AI and agent access for suger.io](/resources/ai/). The server on this page reaches your actual Suger account. How it works ## Three steps from config file to first answer Setup is a URL and a browser sign-in. There is no local server process, no gateway to host, and no secret to rotate. 1 ### Add the server Point your MCP client at the remote endpoint with the one-line config for your tool. Nothing is installed and nothing runs locally. 2 ### Sign in once The first connection opens a browser window for OAuth 2.1 sign-in with PKCE. No API key is created, pasted, or stored in a config file. 3 ### Ask in plain language Your assistant discovers all 128 tools and calls the right ones — querying offers, reporting usage, or creating a co-sell referral. Tool catalog ## 128 tools across 14 categories The catalog mirrors the objects you already work with in the Suger console — products, offers, entitlements, buyers, usage, revenue, and co-sell. Every tool is documented with its parameters in the [Suger MCP tool reference](https://doc.suger.io/mcp/tools/). ### Organization 1 tool - ListOrganizations ### Product Management 14 tools - ListProducts - CreateProduct - PublishProduct - UpdateProductPricing ### Offer Management 15 tools - CreateOffer - QueryOffers - CancelOffer - ExtendPrivateOfferExpiryDate ### Offer Sets 3 tools - CreateOfferSet - ListOfferSets ### Entitlement Management 21 tools - CreateEntitlement - ApproveEntitlement - AddEntitlementCredit - UpdateEntitlementPriceModel ### Buyer Management 11 tools - CreateBuyer - ListBuyers - CreateCreditWallet ### Contact Management 11 tools - CreateContact - UpdateContact - AddContactToOffer ### Metering & Usage 15 tools - ReportUsageRecordGroup - CreateBillableMetric - AggregateUsageData ### Revenue & Reports 5 tools - GetRevenueReport - ListRevenueRecords - ListDailyRevenueRecords ### Co-Sell 11 tools - CreateCosellReferral - GetCosellDashboard - SyncSingleReferral ### Support Tickets 8 tools - CreateSupportTicket - UpdateSupportTicket - CloseSupportTicket ### Notifications 6 tools - ListNotificationEvents - UpdateNotificationConfigInfo ### Operations 3 tools - ListOperationsV2 - GetOperationV2 ### API Management 2 tools - ListApiClients Tool names shown are examples from each category, not the full list. Connect your client ## Copy one config, sign in once Every client points at the same endpoint. Add the snippet below, restart the client, and approve the browser sign-in the first time it connects. Full walkthroughs live in the [Suger MCP setup guide](https://doc.suger.io/mcp/setup/). ### Claude Desktop claude\_desktop\_config.json ``` { "mcpServers": { "suger": { "url": "https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp" } } } ``` Or add it without touching a file: Settings → Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Suger, and paste the endpoint URL. ### Claude Code Terminal ``` claude mcp add --transport http suger https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp ``` Then run /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate. ### Cursor .cursor/mcp.json ``` { "mcpServers": { "suger": { "url": "https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp" } } } ``` Project-scoped, so the whole repo picks up the same server. ### VS Code (GitHub Copilot) Terminal ``` code --add-mcp '{"type":"http","name":"suger","url":"https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp"}' ``` Registers the server with Copilot's agent mode. ### Windsurf & generic clients MCP config ``` { "mcpServers": { "suger": { "serverUrl": "https://apiv2.suger.cloud/mcp" } } } ``` Uses serverUrl rather than url — the shape most non-Anthropic clients expect. ### OAuth 2.1 with PKCE Authorization runs through a browser sign-in on first connect, using the PKCE flow so no client secret is embedded anywhere. ### No API key to manage Your config file holds a URL and nothing else, so a shared repo or synced settings file never carries a credential. ### Your account, your access Every tool call is authorized by the Suger account you signed in with — the assistant does not get its own standing identity. Co-sell over MCP ## Run hyperscaler co-sell from the same conversation Co-sell is one of the 14 categories, with 11 tools on the same endpoint — no second server to configure. An assistant can create a referral, pull the co-sell dashboard, or force a sync on a single referral while you are still writing the deal notes. Suger publishes a dedicated guide for teams whose main MCP use case is co-sell. [Read the co-sell MCP guide](https://doc.suger.io/cosell/cosell-mcp/) `CreateCosellReferral` `GetCosellDashboard` `SyncSingleReferral` Three of the 11 co-sell tools.

Read the co-sell MCP guide](https://doc.suger.io/cosell/cosell-mcp/) ## Suger MCP server questions Protocol, clients, permissions, and scope — answered. What is MCP? MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external systems. An MCP server publishes a set of tools, and any MCP-compatible client can discover those tools and call them on your behalf during a conversation. Which AI clients work with the Suger MCP server? Any MCP client that supports remote servers over HTTP. Suger documents setup for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf. Other clients connect using the same generic server URL configuration. How does authentication work? The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. The first time your client connects, a browser window opens for you to sign in to Suger and approve access. There is no API key to create, copy, or rotate. Is the Suger MCP server read-only or read-write? Read-write. Alongside list and query tools, the catalog includes CreateOffer, ApproveEntitlement, UpdateProductPricing, CancelOffer, and CloseSupportTicket, so an assistant can change data in Suger. Every call is authorized by the Suger account that signed in. What data can the Suger MCP server reach? The 14 categories cover organizations, products, offers and offer sets, entitlements, buyers, contacts, metering and usage, revenue reports, co-sell referrals, support tickets, notifications, operations, and API clients — the same objects the Suger console works with. Is there a separate MCP server for co-sell? No. The 11 co-sell tools ship in the same server on the same endpoint. Suger publishes a dedicated co-sell MCP guide for teams whose primary use case is referral creation, dashboard queries, and referral sync. Is this the same as the MCP server for the suger.io website? No. This page covers the product MCP server for your Suger account data at apiv2.suger.cloud. suger.io separately runs a public, read-only MCP server that only searches and reads pages on this marketing site. ## Bring Suger into your AI workflow See the MCP server, the tool catalog, and the rest of the Suger platform on a live walkthrough.

IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY? _In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own._ We are based in the United States and our servers are located in the United States. In order to provide our Services to you, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?" above), in the United Kingdom, United States, Taiwan, and other countries. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. With that in mind, we use appropriate safeguards when we transfer your information outside the EEA or UK to ensure your personal information remains protected and to comply with applicable data protection laws. The bases, mechanisms, and measures we rely on include: - **Adequacy Decisions.** When applicable, we may rely on EU or UK adequacy decisions to transfer your information outside the EEA or UK. When the relevant EU or UK authority issues an adequacy decision, that means they found the third country to offer adequate protection for personal information. - **Derogations.** We may transfer information based on a derogation listed in Article 49 of the GDPR. We will only do so if the transfer of information meets specific strict conditions. - **Standard Contractual Clauses:** We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between us and our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and further details can be provided upon request. - **Supplementary Measures.** When necessary, in addition to the Standard Contractual Clauses, we may adopt technical, contractual, and organizational supplementary measures to better ensure that the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR is not undermined by the transfer. * * * ## 8\. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION? _In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law._ We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than three (3) months past the termination of the user's account. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. * * * ## 9\. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE? _In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures._ We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS? _In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom (UK), you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time._ In some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

A partner certification is a record that a partner completed the training your program requires, held against the person who earned it and the organization they work for. It is the difference between a partner who attended a kickoff call and a partner you can put in front of a customer — and in Suger PRM it comes out of the courses you already published rather than a spreadsheet someone maintains by hand. ### Proof, not a promise A certification records that a partner finished the training you required, so 'they've been enabled' becomes something you can point at instead of something you remember agreeing. ### Tracked across the program See which partners hold a current certification and which organizations still have gaps, per partner and per organization, without rebuilding the list every quarter.\* ### Visible to the partner too Partners review the active certificates their own team members have earned from inside your branded portal, so they can staff a deal with someone who is actually certified. Certify completion ## Let partners prove they did the work Certifications close the loop on enablement. A partner who works through the courses you published ends up with a certification tied to their name and their organization, which is what a partner manager needs when they decide who to put on a deal — and what your team needs when a tier depends on being enabled.

A partner certification is a record that a partner completed the training your program requires. It turns enablement into something verifiable, so you can tell which partners are ready to sell and which are still working through the material. How does a partner get certified? They complete the training you published to them in the partner portal. Finishing what your program requires produces a certification recorded against the person and their partner organization.\* Can we see who is certified across the program? Yes. Suger PRM tracks certification per partner and per organization, so you can see which partner companies are covered and which still have people mid-way through the training.\* What is time to certification? Time to certification measures how long a partner takes to go from starting your enablement to holding the certification. Suger PRM reports it per partner and organization, which is how you tell fast onboarding from stalled onboarding.\* Can partners see the certificates their team has earned? Yes. Partners review the active certificates earned by their team members from inside your branded portal, so a partner manager can staff a deal with someone who actually holds the certification. Do certifications need a separate learning platform? No. Certifications sit alongside the courses in the Suger PRM partner LMS and inside the same branded portal partners already use, so there is no second platform to buy, brand, or administer.\* \*Some features might be in beta.

[PRM](/prm/) 4. / 5. Commissions PRM · Commissions # Partner commission management, calculated on close. Set commission plans once and Suger PRM works out what each partner earns the moment a deal closes. Referral fees, resale margins, co-sell splits, SPIFFs, and per-deal overrides live in one place — with the payout lifecycle tracked right beside them. [Get a Demo](/schedule-demo/) [Read the commission plan docs](https://doc.suger.io/prm/commission-plans/) ![Partner commission plans and automated payout calculation in Suger PRM](/prm/commission-plans-poster.jpg) ## What is partner commission management? Partner commission management is the practice of defining what partners earn, calculating it accurately when deals close, and tracking every payout through to completion. It is the part of a partner program that decides whether partners trust your numbers. Most programs run it on a spreadsheet that disagrees with the CRM by the second quarter. Suger PRM keeps plans, overrides, incentive programs, and payout status on the same records your deals already live on. Commission plans ## One plan model for every partner motion A commission plan defines how a partner is paid on the deals they bring. Suger PRM covers the three shapes that matter — referral fees, resale margins, and co-sell splits — so a referral partner, a reseller, and a GSI can all be paid correctly without three separate systems. - Template-level plans applied across a partner type or tier - Referral fee, resale margin, and co-sell split models - Plans stay attached to the deal that triggered them [Read the commission plans guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/commission-plans/) Suger — Commission plans Active Plan templates Plan Applies to Rate Referral fee ISV partners 10% Resale margin Resellers 15% Co-sell split GSIs 50 / 50 Per-deal override Enabled ### Referral fees Pay a partner a percentage for sourcing a deal your team closes. The most common plan for ISV partners and advisors who introduce business but do not transact. ### Margins Set the margin a reseller keeps on a deal they transact themselves, so resale economics are agreed in the plan rather than negotiated deal by deal. ### Co-sell splits Split the payout when you and the partner both work the deal, so shared effort produces a shared number instead of an argument at quarter end. ## Handle the exceptions without rewriting the plan Every program has deals that do not fit the standard rate and quarters that need a push. Overrides and incentive programs cover both, so the underlying plan stays stable. ### Per-deal overrides Change the commission on a single deal when the situation calls for it — a strategic account, an unusual structure, a partner who did more than the plan assumed. The override applies to that deal only and the template keeps governing everything else. - Set at the deal, not the template - Standard plan stays intact for every other deal - Override travels with the payout record ### SPIFF and SPF programs A SPIFF is a short-term incentive that pays partners extra for a specific push — a product launch, a new region, a quarter-end campaign. Suger PRM runs SPIFF and SPF programs alongside standing plans instead of bolting them on in a separate tracker. - Run incentives beside your standing commission plans - Time-boxed pushes without touching base economics - Incentive earnings land on the same payout record Payouts ## From closed deal to tracked payout Commissions calculate automatically the moment a deal closes, and the resulting payout is tracked through its full lifecycle in one place. Alliances stops guessing what a partner is owed, and finance stops rebuilding the calculation from scratch. 1. 1 Deal closes The commission calculates automatically from the plan that applies to the deal — no spreadsheet, no re-keying. 2. 2 Amount is set The calculated amount attaches to the deal, including any per-deal override or active incentive program. 3. 3 Payout is tracked Each payout moves through its lifecycle in one place, so finance and alliances read the same status. 4. 4 Program is reported Payout reporting shows what the program cost and which partners earned it, quarter over quarter. ![Automatic commission calculation and payout lifecycle tracking in Suger PRM](/prm/payout-lifecycle.png) Partner tiers ## Pay your best partners like your best partners A partner tier is a level you define based on a partner's engagement and success, so the partners producing the most sit on better economics than the ones who signed up and went quiet. Tiers also feed the rest of the program — deal registration approvals can route by the tier a partner sits in. - Tier levels based on partner engagement and success - Attach commission plans to a tier rather than one partner at a time - Use tiers to route deal registration approvals [Read the partner tiers guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/partner-tiers/) Suger — Partner tiers Tier ladder — you name the levels Tier 1 Highest engagement Tier 2 Growing Tier 3 Newly registered Commission plans and approval routing follow the tier. ## Commission documentation Set up the plans first, then decide which partners sit on which economics.

Partner commission management is the practice of defining what partners earn, calculating it accurately when deals close, and tracking each payout to completion. It covers referral fees, resale margins, co-sell splits, incentive programs, and the reporting behind them. How are partner commissions calculated in Suger? Automatically, on deal close. Suger PRM applies the commission plan that covers the deal, layers on any per-deal override or active SPIFF, and attaches the resulting amount to the deal so nobody recalculates it by hand. Can we override the commission on a single deal? Yes. Plans are set at the template level and any individual deal can be overridden, so a strategic or unusual deal does not force you to rewrite the plan that governs everything else. What is a SPIFF, and can we run one? A SPIFF is a short-term incentive that pays partners extra for a specific push, such as a product launch or a quarter-end campaign. Suger PRM supports SPIFF and SPF programs alongside your standing commission plans. What are partner tiers used for? Partner tiers are levels you define based on partner engagement and success. They let you reward the partners producing the most, and they can drive downstream behaviour such as deal registration approval routing. Do commissions work for partners outside cloud marketplaces? Yes. Suger PRM pays VARs, GSIs, resellers, and ISV partners whose deals never touch a marketplace, in the same workspace teams use to co-sell across three hyperscaler programs. ## Pay partners accurately with Suger PRM See commission plans, overrides, incentive programs, and payout tracking working on real deals.

Partner deal registration is how a partner claims a deal they sourced, so you can protect it, track it, and pay on it. In Suger PRM, partners submit through a public form or a branded email alias — no login — and the deal auto-creates as an opportunity in Salesforce or HubSpot.

Partner deal registration is the process a partner uses to formally claim an opportunity they sourced, so the vendor can protect that deal from channel conflict and attribute the revenue to the right partner. A registration in Suger PRM is a single record carrying the customer, the partner, the deal value, and its approval state — and it stays in step with your CRM from the moment it is submitted until the deal closes. ### No portal login required Partners register through a public form on your site or by emailing a branded alias. Nothing to install, no password to reset, no adoption problem. ### Under two clicks to submit The shorter the form, the more deals you see. Registration takes under two clicks, and the partner gets a confirmation that comes from your brand. ### Auto-created in your CRM Each registration becomes an opportunity in Salesforce or HubSpot automatically, so partner-sourced pipeline sits next to direct pipeline. Register a deal ## Register the deal when a customer buys through a partner Create the registration the moment you know a partner is bringing the deal. Pick the partner, attach the customer and deal details, and the record enters the approval queue with everything a reviewer needs — whether the partner submitted it or your own team registered it outbound. What a registration carries - Partner, partner type, and the customer buying through them - Deal value and expected close, on one record - Approval routing by partner tier, geography, or partner type - Outbound registration from your CRM, with no partner login [Read the register-a-deal guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/register-a-deal/) Suger — Register a deal New deal registration Partner Northwind Cloud Partners Partner type Reseller Customer Contoso Manufacturing Deal value $120,000 Expected close Q4 Routes to: Tier 1 · North America Register Creates a Salesforce opportunity on approval CRM sync ## Every registration lands in your CRM A registered deal is only useful if your sellers can see it.

Partner deal registration is the process a partner uses to formally claim an opportunity they sourced, so the vendor can protect it from channel conflict and attribute the revenue correctly. The registration records the customer, the partner, and the deal value. Can partners register a deal without logging in? Yes. With Suger PRM, partners submit through a public form on your site or by sending a branded email alias, with no portal login required. Registration takes under two clicks and the partner gets a confirmation from your brand. Where does a registered deal end up? In your CRM. Every registration auto-creates as an opportunity in Salesforce or HubSpot, and the sync is bi-directional, so partner-sourced pipeline shows up in the same forecast your sellers already work. How are deal registrations approved? Approval routing runs by partner tier, geography, or partner type, so each submission reaches the reviewer who owns it. Your team responds inside Partner Co-Sells, and the partner sees the outcome in their own submission view. Can partners see the status of a deal they registered? Yes. Partners track their submissions from the partner-side view, so they can see which registrations were approved and which are still in review without emailing your alliances team for an update. Do we need a cloud marketplace to register partner deals? No. Suger PRM registers deals for any partner type, including VARs, GSIs, resellers, and ISV partners whose deals never touch a marketplace. If you also co-sell on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, both motions run in the same workspace. ## Capture every partner deal with Suger PRM See how deal registration, approvals, and CRM sync run end to end in a single partner workspace.

A partner onboarding journey is a step-by-step playbook that tells a partner exactly what to complete, and in what order, before they can sell. In Suger PRM a journey is a reusable object: you define the steps once, assign it to the partners it applies to, and then follow completion from a single view instead of reconstructing it from a spreadsheet and a shared inbox. ### A playbook, not an email thread Write the onboarding path down once as an ordered set of steps, so every partner gets the same start instead of whatever your last alliances hire remembered to send. ### Assigned to the partners you choose A journey is a template until you assign it. Give a reseller one path and a GSI another, and each partner sees only the journey they were assigned. ### Progress both sides can see Your team watches completion from inside Suger while the partner watches the same steps from their own portal, so neither side has to ask where things stand. Create and assign ## Write the onboarding path down once Build the journey as an ordered list of steps, then assign it to the partners who should follow it. Because the journey is a template, a second reseller does not mean a second onboarding plan — it means one more assignment against a path your team has already agreed on.

A partner onboarding journey is a step-by-step playbook that tells a partner exactly what to complete, and in what order, to get productive. In Suger PRM you build the journey once and assign it to the partners who should follow it. How do I assign a journey to a partner? You build the journey in Suger PRM and assign it to the partners it applies to. A journey is a reusable template, so one onboarding path can cover an entire partner type rather than being rebuilt per account. Can we see how far along each partner is? Yes. The vendor-side journey progress view shows which partners have finished their assigned journey, which are mid-way, and which have not started, so your alliances team can chase the ones that stalled. Can partners see their own progress? Yes. Partners follow the same journey from their own view in your branded portal, so they can see the steps ahead of them and what they have already completed without emailing your team for a status update. What usually goes into a partner onboarding journey? Most programs start with the things a partner must finish before selling: completing their partnership profile, adding portal users, working through training, earning a certification, and registering a first deal. How do journeys relate to partner training and certification? Journeys are the sequence; training and certification are steps inside it. A journey points partners at the courses you published, and a certification marks the point where a partner has proved they finished the training. ## Onboard every partner the same way with Suger PRM See how a journey is built, assigned, and tracked from both the vendor and the partner side.

A white-label partner portal is a partner-facing site that carries your brand instead of the vendor's, so partners only ever see your logo, your colours, and your voice. It is where partners sign in, complete their partnership profile, and pick up the files and updates you share with them. Partner programs live or die on whether partners actually use the portal. Suger PRM removes the two things that usually stop them: a portal that looks like someone else's product, and a sign-up path that requires a human on your side. Brand settings ## Set your brand once, and it shows up everywhere Brand settings hold your logo, your brand colours, and an optional tagline. Save them once and the portal adopts them — including the login page, which is the first screen a partner ever sees and the one that decides whether the program feels like yours. - Logo, brand colours, and an optional tagline - A custom branded sign-in page for partners - SSO and SAML through your own identity provider - Live in under five days, with no implementation fee [Read the brand settings guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/brand-settings/) [Read the portal login page guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/partner-portal-login-page/) Suger — Brand settings Saved Portal branding Logo Your mark, on every portal screen Brand colours Applied across the partner experience Tagline Optional line beneath your logo Login page preview Sign in to the partner portal Continue or continue with SSO Partner registration ## Let new partners apply themselves Suger hosts a self-service partner registration form you can point prospective partners at from your site, a campaign, or an event. A partner applies without waiting on an introduction email, and the application arrives as a record instead of a message in someone's inbox. - Suger-hosted form — nothing to build or maintain - Prospective partners apply without an internal sponsor - Applications arrive as records your team can work [Read the partner registration form guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/partner-registration-form/) Partner registration Become a partner Company name Website Primary contact Partner type Region Hosted by Suger, branded as you Apply ## What partners do once they are inside The portal is a console partners work in, not a landing page they visit once. Two docs cover the partner-side experience end to end. ### Navigate the partner console Partners get their own console for the work you share with them, so the portal is a place they operate in rather than a document dump. [Read the partner console guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/navigate-the-partner-console/) ### Complete the partnership profile Partners fill in their partnership profile once, giving your team the company details behind every deal they later register. [Read the partnership profile guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/complete-partnership-profile/) Portal users ## Add users by SSO or invitation Portal users come in two ways: through single sign-on from your identity provider, or through a manual invitation when a partner adds someone to their team. Larger partners get the automatic path; smaller ones get an invite that takes a minute. - SSO for partners who already run an identity provider - Manual invitations for one-off additions - Access managed per portal user, not per partner organisation [Read the add portal users guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/add-portal-users/) File sharing ## Decide what partners see by default File sharing defaults set the default access permission for each category of file, so a document lands with the right visibility the moment it is uploaded. Nobody has to remember to lock down the pricing folder after the fact. - Default access permissions defined per file category - New uploads inherit the category default automatically - Fewer accidental disclosures than folder-by-folder permissions [Read the file sharing defaults guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/file-sharing-defaults/) ## Partner portal documentation Seven docs cover the portal from brand settings through file permissions — the same order you would set it up in.

Explore Partner commission management](/prm/commissions/) ## White-label partner portal questions What is a white-label partner portal? A white-label partner portal is a partner-facing site that carries your brand rather than the vendor's, so partners only ever see your logo, colours, and voice. Suger PRM applies your brand settings across the portal, including the login page partners land on first. How long does it take to launch a partner portal? The Suger PRM portal goes live in under five days, with no implementation fee. Brand settings, the login page, and the registration form are configuration rather than a project, so there is no build phase to schedule around. Can partners sign up themselves? Yes. Suger hosts a self-service partner registration form you can point prospective partners at, so a new partner can apply without an introduction email and without anyone on your team creating the record by hand. How do partners get access to the portal? Through SSO or a manual invitation. Portal users can be brought in from your identity provider with SSO or SAML, or invited one at a time when a partner adds someone new to their team. Can we control which files partners see? Yes. File sharing defaults set the default access permission for each file category, so a document lands with the right visibility as soon as it is uploaded instead of relying on someone remembering to restrict it. Do partners have to log in to register a deal? No. The portal is available to partners who want it, but Suger PRM also accepts deal registrations through a public form or a branded email alias, so partners who never sign in can still get their deals into your pipeline. ## Launch your partner portal with Suger PRM See the branded portal, the self-service registration form, and partner access controls in one walkthrough.

Partner training software is the system that teaches your partners how to sell and support your product, and then reports on who actually learned it. In Suger PRM that system is part of the partner portal rather than a separate tool, so the course a partner takes, the deal they register, and the certification they earn all sit behind the same branded sign-in. ### Courses you author yourself Build the course in Suger from the material your team already uses to ramp a new reseller, and publish it to the partner portal without a separate learning platform. ### SCORM for what you already have If your enablement content already lives in an LMS, upload the SCORM package instead of rebuilding it, and keep the training you spent last year producing.\* ### Visibility you decide Not every course belongs in front of every partner. Control which partners see a course, then watch enrolment and completion once it is live.\* Build a course ## Author new training, or bring what you already have You can build a course in Suger from scratch, or upload a SCORM package and migrate the enablement content you already produced elsewhere. Either way the course publishes to the same partner portal, so partners are not asked to learn a second product before they learn yours. What you can build - Course, quiz, and certification builder\* - SCORM upload to migrate existing content\* - Branded partner content library with access controls - Courses published straight into your white-label portal [Read the build-a-training-course guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/build-a-training-course/) Suger — New course Course builder Course title Selling with Suger 101 Audience Resellers · GSIs Modules 1 Why customers buy through partners Lesson 2 Product overview and positioning Lesson 3 Pricing and private offers Lesson 4 Knowledge check Quiz Or upload a SCORM package Publish Share and monitor ## Decide who sees it, then see who finished it Publishing a course is only half of enablement — the other half is knowing whether anyone took it. Suger PRM lets you control course visibility per partner and then reports enrolment and completion, so "we trained the channel" becomes a number rather than a claim. - Course visibility controlled per partner\* - Enrolment and completion tracked per course\* - Completion rolled up by partner organization\* [Read the share-and-monitor-training guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/share-monitor-training/) Suger — Training Live Selling with Suger 101 Published Partner Completed Status Northwind Cloud Partners 6 enrolled 6/6 Complete Adventure GSI 9 enrolled 5/9 In progress Tailwind Consulting 4 enrolled 1/4 In progress Fabrikam Digital 3 enrolled 0/3 Not started The partner side ## What taking a course looks like to your partner Partners never see a learning platform — they see your portal. Four steps cover the whole experience, and none of them involve a new tool or a second login. 1 ### Open the portal The partner signs in to your branded partner portal — the same place they register deals and find your files. 2 ### Find the course They see the courses you made visible to them, not a catalogue of everything your program has ever published. 3 ### Work through it The partner takes the course at their own pace, whether you authored it in Suger or uploaded it as SCORM. 4 ### Complete and certify Completion registers against their partner organization and can lead to a certification they can point to.\* [Read the take-a-training-course guide](https://doc.suger.io/prm/take-training-course/) ## Partner training documentation Three docs cover the training loop end to end: building the course, sharing and monitoring it, and taking it as a partner.

A partner LMS is a learning management system built for the channel rather than for employees. It hosts the courses that teach partners to sell and support your product, and it reports on who enrolled, who finished, and who is certified. Can we migrate training content we already built? Yes. Upload the SCORM package into Suger PRM instead of rebuilding the course, so enablement content produced in another learning platform moves across with you.\* Do partners need a separate learning platform login? No. Courses live inside the same branded partner portal partners already use for deal registration and files, so there is no second product to introduce and no second password to reset. Can we control which partners see a course? Yes. Course visibility is yours to set, so a course written for tier-one resellers does not appear in front of every partner in the program.\* How do we know whether partners actually finished the training? Suger PRM tracks enrolment and completion for each published course, so you can see which partner organizations completed the training and which have people still part-way through.\* How does training relate to certification? Training is the content; certification is the proof. Once a partner completes the courses you require, a certification records that they finished, and your team can track certifications across the whole program.\* \*Some features might be in beta.

[Get a Demo](/schedule-demo/) [Contact Sales](/contact-us/) ## Frequently asked questions Everything you need to know about Suger PRM What is a PRM (partner relationship management) platform? A PRM platform is software for running a partner program: registering partner deals, managing co-sell, paying commissions, and certifying partners in one place, instead of across spreadsheets, email, and your CRM. Suger PRM does this for VARs, GSIs, resellers, and ISV partners under your own brand. Do I need a cloud marketplace to use a PRM? No. Suger PRM works for any partner type, including partners and deals that never touch a marketplace. It's the only PRM that also runs inside your hyperscaler marketplace co-sell motion, so if you already co-sell on AWS, Azure, or GCP, channel partners run in the same workspace. How much does PRM software cost? Suger PRM is priced by the number of partner connections you manage, not per seat, starting at $12k/year with unlimited internal users included. A connection is one partner organization, so pricing scales with your network size rather than your headcount. There's no implementation fee. What's the best PRM for SaaS companies? The right PRM for a SaaS company handles co-sell, deal registration, commissions, and enablement together, connects to Salesforce or HubSpot, and white-labels to your brand. Suger PRM does all of this and is the only one built into cloud marketplace co-sell, which matters if you sell through AWS, Azure, or GCP. How do I set up a partner deal registration process? The fastest setup is a tool that captures deals without making partners log into a portal. With Suger PRM, partners register through a public form or a branded email alias, the deal auto-creates as an opportunity in Salesforce or HubSpot, and approval routing runs by partner tier, geography, or type. What is a white-label partner portal? A white-label partner portal is a partner-facing site that runs on your own domain with your branding, so partners never see the vendor behind it. Suger PRM's portal uses your domain, logo, colors, and sender identity on every page and email, goes live in under five days, and costs nothing to implement. PRM vs spreadsheets: when do I need partner management software? Once partner deals, commissions, and data start living in three disagreeing places (your CRM, a marketplace console, and a comp spreadsheet), a PRM consolidates them into one system. The trigger is usually deal registration breaking down: if reps need more than two clicks to register a deal, they stop doing it. Can partners register deals without logging in? Yes. With Suger PRM, partners submit deals through a public form on your site or by sending a branded email alias, with no portal login required. Registration takes under two clicks, the deal lands in your pipeline automatically, and the partner gets a confirmation from your brand. Does Suger PRM integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot? Yes. Suger PRM has bi-directional sync with both Salesforce and HubSpot, auto-creating opportunities from registered deals and keeping co-sell fields current. A full REST API covers custom integrations, and a Chrome extension handles outbound deal registration and Salesforce auto-fill. How do I manage co-sell with channel partners? Co-sell management means getting partner-sourced deals into your pipeline and tracking them to close. Suger PRM runs native co-sell for every partner type, with a neutral Salesforce attribution view, ISV-to-ISV referral tracking, and board-ready partner revenue reporting, alongside or independent of any marketplace. What's the best PRM software? The strongest fit for teams running both cloud marketplace co-sell and traditional channel partners is one platform that covers both motions. Suger PRM is the only PRM built into hyperscaler marketplace co-sell, and it also runs VARs, GSIs, resellers, and ISV partners that never touch a marketplace. \*Some features might be in beta.

Assistants, answer engines, and autonomous agents can search the site, read any page as clean Markdown, and call live tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). ## Search Every page has instant full-text search. Press ⌘K (or Ctrl K) anywhere, or use the [dedicated search page](/search). It runs client-side on a prebuilt index — no query is sent to a server. ## Machine-readable content Clean, presentation-free content for grounding assistants: [/llms.txt Curated index of the site's key pages with one-line descriptions.](/llms.txt) [/llms-full.txt The full text corpus of the site in one file, always current.](/llms-full.txt) [//index.md Any page as clean Markdown — append `/index.md` to its URL.](/platform/cosell/index.md) [/search-index.json The prebuilt MiniSearch index powering on-site and MCP search.](/search-index.json) ## Model Context Protocol (MCP) Connect any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, IDE agents) to call two read-only tools: `search` and `fetch_page`. ### Hosted endpoint (no install) Streamable HTTP at `https://www.suger.io/mcp`. Add to your client config: ``` { "mcpServers": { "suger": { "url": "https://www.suger.io/mcp" } } } ``` ### Standalone package (offline / no hosted dependency) Runs locally over stdio and works against the published content: ``` { "mcpServers": { "suger": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "suger-website-mcp"] } } } ``` Discovery manifest: [/.well-known/mcp.json](/.well-known/mcp.json). ## FAQ What can the Suger MCP server do? It exposes two read-only tools: search (find pages by keyword) and fetch\_page (read a page as clean Markdown). Both cover cloud marketplace GTM, co-sell, private offers, agreements, and billing content on suger.io. Do I need an API key? No. Everything here is public and read-only. The hosted endpoint and the standalone package both work without authentication. How do I read a single page as Markdown? Append /index.md to any page URL. For example, https://www.suger.io/platform/cosell/index.md returns the clean Markdown of the Co-Sell page. Is the content kept up to date? Yes. The search index, per-page Markdown, and llms-full.txt are regenerated automatically on every site build, so they always match the live pages. --- # Suger API Reference — REST API for Cloud Marketplace URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/apis/ Type: Resource 1.

"Summarize with Perplexity") #### Overview We have received feedback from several ISV/Sellers who are dissatisfied with the current cloud marketplace solutions available to them, whether in-house or from third-party providers like Tackle. They have expressed their appreciation for Suger as a better alternative. However, many are concerned about migrating to a new solution, as they don’t want to risk disrupting their current revenue channel. In this post, we aim to address the most common concerns we have heard and provide reassurance to those considering a switch to Suger. #### Common Concerns Here are Top 3 common concerns we have heard from ISV/Sellers: ##### 😢 Current marketplace listings have to be delisted first > No, your current listings will not be impacted in any way. There is no need to delist your existing products, and you can continue to create private offers and close deals throughout the entire migration process and after the migration is complete. ##### 💔 Lose historical sales & revenue data > All ground truth data is stored in your cloud marketplaces. Once the integration is complete, Suger can retrieve all of your historical private offers, entitlements, revenue, and usage data. This means that no sales or revenue data will be lost during the migration process. ##### 🚫 Break period I can’t close new deals > Nope, There is no break or shutdown period during the cloud marketplace integration migration process. You can continue to close new deals at any time while migrating, and your existing active contracts will not be impacted. #### Migration Steps, Risk Free & No Extra Cost 1. **Integrate cloud marketplaces with Suger** 1. 1 ~ 2 hours, no engineering work > To grant Suger access to your cloud marketplaces, no engineering work is required. Once this is done, Suger will automatically sync all historical and current listings, private offers, entitlements, revenue, and usage data from your cloud marketplaces. You will have visibility from day one. The integration won’t impact your existing cloud marketplace solution and will remain passive and read-only at this stage. 2. **Migrate usage metering to Suger API (optional)** 1. This step is only required by usage metering. If your product pricing model is not usage-based, you can skip it. 2. 1 ~ 2 weeks, need software engineering support > You can start to report your real-time usage metering to Suger Metering API at any time after the previous step.

And if you’re ready to list on multiple channels, it’s important to realize each marketplace has their own APIs, pricing models, requirements, leading to bespoke integrations and maintenance. Because we’ve invested into a unified layer atop the various marketplaces, your engineers don’t have to maintain separate data pipelines. Learn more about technical onboarding in our [Get Started docs](https://doc.suger.io/get-started/). #### [Automates the core workflow for cross functional teams, to manage sales & revenue on cloud marketplaces](#automates-the-core-workflow-for-cross-functional-teams-to-manage-sales--revenue-on-cloud-marketplaces) Many cross-functional teams are required to stand up and properly leverage the cloud to sell more. After the initial set-up / integration, there needs to be a designated Alliances lead to quarterback the channel, and enable internal operations. Reducing friction from introducing a new wrinkle in the fold is key to increasing internal buy-in on cloud marketplaces. Through our platform, partnership lead can send private offers, sales can run sales plays based on metered usage, revops/finance can reconcile marketplace rev w/ their billing tool, and run analyses to better understand channel patterns. Imagine running a traditional sales motion without a sales tools. It traditionally looks like 20 different google sheets with tons of manual processes and data discrepancies. The same goes for marketplace sales. Suger also integrates to your CRM to maintain your system of record in one place and open APIs to link to your internal database.

"Summarize with Perplexity") #### [Shift to the Cloud includes shift to cloud marketplaces.](#shift-to-the-cloud-includes-shift-to-cloud-marketplaces) Shift to the cloud is not new in the 21st century - trillions of IT spend has, and will continue to move to the cloud. As an increasing number of companies go through digital transformation, which accelerated during COVID, many C-Suite conversations are taking place on how they can leverage the cloud to better sell their products. Buyers turn into sellers (and vice versa) on cloud marketplaces to access this budget for their own sales and strengthen partnership with the cloud providers. AWS and Azure first launched their commercial marketplace in 2012 (with GCP following thereafter) and it has evolved into a major channel for many B2B vendors, where the process is vertically integrated, all the way from lead generation to procurement. The shift to cloud marketplace has accelerated in the last 5 years. Marketplace throughput is approximately doubling every year and we’re still in the first inning. > **“Cloud marketplace procurement will go fully mainstream, and become a standard component of the SaaS go-to-market playbook.”**\- Bessemer Venture’s 2022 cloud report Cloud providers are committed to growing their B2B software marketplace as they continue developing partner programs / co-marketing budgets. Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) recently lowered their marketplace fee to 3% to further incentivize sellers to join. Early adopters are getting ahead of their competition by meeting the buyers where their budget is - cloud commitments. #### [But taking advantage of this new channel is fraught with errors and resources investment.](#but-taking-advantage-of-this-new-channel-is-fraught-with-errors-and-resources-investment) Doing it yourself can start with a few months dev time and it can quickly snowball as your company’s marketplace business grows. High growth companies often employ full engineering squads to set up and maintain the integrations. In addition to API migrations from cloud providers, every discrepancies and bugs on internal product impact billing, requiring constant barrage of P0 tickets. As a reference, Chengjun (CTO) was the tech lead on their internal marketplace team, which had 10+ engineers dedicated to this work. In addition to engineers, army of ops headcount to manually register leads, update usage reports, reconcile data across multiple data sources, and work cross functionally to drive marketplace sales. Crowdstrike is another example of an early marketplace adopter, whose team of 10+ “alliance operations analysts” to manually handle this process. #### [Traditional sales motion is evolving and so should tools for indirect sales channels, specifically marketplace sales.](#traditional-sales-motion-is-evolving-and-so-should-tools-for-indirect-sales-channels-specifically-marketplace-sales) Today, direct-to-customer channel is the most common for most software companies. It’s the most intuitive - hire sales people, identify the ideal customer profile (ICP), and aggressively create pipeline and convert. After a prospect becomes a customer, the sales team identifies cross-sell and up-sell opportunities to increase NRR. I saw this work scale first-hand at Salesforce where forecasting was generally correlated with sales headcount. The rule of thumb was “put 20% headcount in, get 20% ACV out.” Traditional sales is a linear funnel, with funnel and conversion data readily available for you to properly forecast, allocate resources, find hotspots, and change messaging or org alignment to adapt to MoM, YoY trends. There’s a myriad of sales tools in the market to help you refine the internal gears of the funnel - e.g. Salesforce (relationship management), 6sense (intent/enrichment), Zoominfo (contact database), Outreach (prospecting). #### [While cloud marketplace sales augments a traditional sales channel, the workflows are different and the traditional tools do not support them.](#while-cloud-marketplace-sales-augments-a-traditional-sales-channel-the-workflows-are-different-and-the-traditional-tools-do-not-support-them) That’s where Suger comes in!

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [What makes your company a good fit?](#what-makes-your-company-a-good-fit) - [Now what?](#now-what) In an era where **PLG (Product-Led Growth)** dominates discussions, companies are constantly seeking innovative methods to acquire customers with minimal CAC (customer acquisition cost) and streamlined onboarding processes. So, why exactly are cloud marketplaces significant? Many customers and prospects we talk to think about cloud marketplaces as solely a procurement channel to access enterprise cloud budget, which holds some truth. However, that is not the only way we see customers go to market! There are ways to insert your PLG workflow directly into cloud marketplaces and generate new channels of revenue. In this article, I’ll delve into some key questions that can determine if your product is a suitable fit for self-serve listings on cloud marketplaces. We’ll also demonstrate how Suger can simplify a complex quote-to-cash workflow, making it effortlessly simple for various use cases! _**(see diagram #1 below)**_ ![PLG funnel on cloud marketplaces: free trial, self-service signup, and conversion to paid procurement](/blog/migrated/16570e1ac1c390bb.png?v=2026-05-12) **A word of caution:** Cloud marketplaces should not be solely relied upon for lead generation. Consider them as supplementary marketing channels, akin to how company mentions in blog posts contribute to SEO but are not the primary content marketing strategy. ## [What makes your company a good fit?](#what-makes-your-company-a-good-fit) ### [1\. Do you already have a self-serve mechanism in place?](#1-do-you-already-have-a-self-serve-mechanism-in-place) If your company lacks a self-serve or PLG mechanism, experimenting with this change on cloud marketplaces might not be advisable. However, if your product is purchasable on your website, replicating this process on cloud marketplaces can be straightforward with the right tools (ie Suger). We can facilitate the setup of signup redirects and APIs, enabling customers to replicate their exact purchase process while utilizing their cloud marketplace billing. ### [2\. Who are your target personas?](#2-who-are-your-target-personas) Consider the nature of your product—are you targeting business professionals or developers? When contemplating selling on platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP, it’s important to understand the user base. For instance, if you as a reader unfamiliar with logging into cloud providers websites or creating IAM roles, chances are you’re not directly viewing your company’s cloud budget. Therefore, developer tools or IT personas with a PLG workflow often fare better on cloud marketplaces. Although this landscape is evolving, with notable business applications like Salesforce listed on AWS, the traction on the PLG side is still developing. The common use case our customers think about is envision a solo developer attempting to procure your tool through traditional channels. It’s likely they’re using a personal credit card or seeking budget approval internally just to test products out. Listing your PLG motion on AWS allows individual developers to quickly access cloud budget which in cases can improve conversion rate and speed to purchase. ### [3\. Do you currently attract website traffic?](#3-do-you-currently-attract-website-traffic) If you’re not already generating organic traffic to your website or social media platforms, cloud marketplaces might not be the most lucrative revenue channel initially. Please note that while this situation could change, cloud marketplaces typically don’t attract as much traffic as your own website. A good rule of thumb is if you’re not receiving website traffic to your site, you’re unlikely to garner it on cloud marketplaces. To kickstart this process, consider linking your cloud marketplace products on your pricing page to provide customers with an additional procurement channel. [Zilliz](https://zilliz.com/pricing) is a prime example of utilizing their pricing page to facilitate procurement on cloud marketplaces. ## [Now what?](#now-what) For all the companies still with questions, we recommend you prioritize setting realistic expectations and outlining the stages of success in the PLG cloud marketplace journey. Like any other channel, this isn’t a faucet you can simply turn on or off. **Crawl:** Begin by getting listed on your preferred marketplace and guiding a few customers to manually procure your publicly facing product. Assess the demand for this procurement method. In the diagram below, the emphasis during the “Crawl” phase should be placed on the initial step, with the remainder being carried out manually! **Walk:** Continue manual efforts while promoting your availability on cloud marketplaces through your website and social channels. Offering customers the option to be redirected to the cloud partner for procurement is key. Subsequently, customers can autonomously navigate their way to the product after purchasing on the cloud marketplace. This stage encompasses the addition of the “Buyer Onboarded” component in the diagram below. **Run:** Once you observe an uptick in volume through this channel, shift your focus to step three of the diagram below, which involves implementing automation to scale billing and revenue recognition. Whether it entails integrating metering systems or synchronizing cloud marketplace revenue recognition, Suger can aid in automating every aspect of this journey. ![Crawl-walk-run progression diagram for PLG on cloud marketplaces — manual procurement to automated billing and revenue recognition](/blog/migrated/300155981af4ee33.png?v=2026-05-12) At Suger, we’ve guided numerous clients through this process. We specialize in this so you can focus on business outcomes rather than complex, homegrown tech solutions. Whether it’s PLG on cloud marketplaces or refining your GTM cloud marketplace strategy, we’re here to lend a hand. PLG is just one of the many facets we’re excited to help you solve!

"Summarize with Perplexity") The AWS Marketplace attracts 330,000 active B2B buyers looking to accelerate their business initiatives with the right software. Cloud marketplaces, much like app stores for smartphones, enable businesses to distribute and sell their software solutions on platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, making it easier for companies to reach their target audience.That’s where \[Suger\](/resources/blog/what-is-suger/ comes in. ### **A New Way to Get Started** Listing on the AWS Marketplace often requires significant effort across multiple teams. Suger simplifies this by enhancing integration capabilities with an API-first approach, making it faster and easier to list products and find the right buyers without needing engineers’ efforts. #### **Step 1: Define Pricing Model** AWS Marketplace features three pricing models for the SaaS products: [Subscription](https://doc.suger.io/aws-marketplace/pricing-model#subscription), [Contract](https://doc.suger.io/aws-marketplace/pricing-model#contract) and [Contract + Subscription Combined](https://doc.suger.io/aws-marketplace/pricing-model#combined). Whether you choose a subscription model, pay-as-you-go, or a one-time fee, Suger helps you configure pricing quickly and accurately. #### **Step 2: API Integration** After submitting product listing, Suger handles the entire integration process with AWS, ensuring compliance and seamless integration through pre-built connectors. Establish a secure connection between Suger APIs and cloud marketplace accounts, facilitating unified and secure product management. Suger will automatically sync with AWS Marketplace and pull all listed products info. #### **Step 3: Automating Metering, Billing and Reporting** Through Suger’s fully automated integration with Orb and metronome, the sales and finance teams can easily manage workflows based on metered usage and billing records. Manage billings, private offers, CPPOs, and entitlements through Suger to ensure smooth transactions and customer satisfaction. For more information, check out our [NEW metering V2 release](https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/summer-2024-release). Each of these steps requires careful attention to detail and a deep understanding of AWS’s guidelines. Without the right tools and knowledge, leaders can find themselves overwhelmed, leading to delays and missed opportunities. Moreover, without tight metering or accurate reporting on billed revenue, businesses risk losing out on significant revenue. ### image-Jul-26-2024-11-08-54-4703-PM**Designed to Grow Your Business** After being listed on the marketplace, the next step is to activate the co-sell flywheel. Suger supports the success of the entire GTM team. Utilize Suger’s CRM connectors and ACE connectors to manage co-sell opportunities from AWS, then achieve higher win rates, 50% faster sales cycles and 4-5X richer deal sizes. ### **Building a Better Together Story with AWS** Setting up Salesforce and ACE is just the beginning.

The AWS Marketplace presents a lucrative opportunity for SaaS providers to reach a massive customer base and streamline their sales and billing processes with a self-service motion. This allows users to understand, use, and see the value of the product without a traditional sales process. In this post, we’ll discuss best practices and common mistakes in driving trials and public offers through marketplaces and how [Suger](/) helps PLG companies accelerate new user sign-ups. ## **Listings Configuration** Product listings are often configured only for private offers. However, there are three types of listings: - **Contract: Upfront or scheduled billing.** - **Subscription: Metered billing based on usage.** - **Combined: SaaS contract pricing with PAYG for additional usage.** > **To construct a listing for a PLG motion, consider the following options:** **Option 1:** Contract Configure the lowest denominated pricing with a monthly option. If the buyer chooses auto-renewal when creating the public offer, the customer can choose the number of units. For example, \[Customer A\] structured its product listing to allow flexibility in unit selection. _Exhibit A: Example of Contract Listing Pricing_ **Option 2:** Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Set up your listing based on a credits model, allowing the buyer to start using your product and be billed based on usage. Publish your pricing separately on your website to show what a single unit of credit translates to in terms of unit dimensions. This model requires mapping source dimensions to the revenue unit on the backend for reporting. _Exhibit B: PAYG Listing Pricing (left) and Website Pricing (right)_ _![Screenshot 2024-07-24 at 4.28.00 PM](/blog/migrated/bf981fcbbd99e5b9.png?v=2026-05-12)_ **Option 3:** Combined Configure your listing based on a credits model but break it out by different tiers.This model provides flexibility for both public and private offers,making it suitable for PLG and SLG. **![image (7)](/blog/migrated/f81ad94423f6496b.png?v=2026-05-12)** _Exhibit C: Combined Listing Pricing_ #### **User Sign-Up Configuration** Set a fulfillment URL to which the user will be redirected once the entitlement is created. There are two methods: **Option 1: Custom Hosted Landing Page** Integrating a web form can help capture user information for personalized follow-ups and lead nurturing. This is preferred for listings focused on private offers. **Option 2: Sign-Up Redirect to Existing Landing Page** Redirecting users to your cloud marketplace listing from your website can streamline the sign-up process and provide a better buyer experience. This method requires more upfront investment but offers seamless integration with marketplace billing. #### **Scaling Public Offers** **Tip #1: Highlight AWS Marketplace Payment on Pricing Page** Make AWS Marketplace payment options prominent on your pricing page to increase awareness and drive traffic to your marketplace listing. The key is to drive awareness with potentially interested users that getting started and procuring through the marketplace is just as easy on the marketplace as on the website. ![Screenshot 2024-07-24 at 4.55.38 PM](/blog/migrated/f92d28e2f8d61419.png?v=2026-05-12) **Tip #2: Drive Incentives on Public Offers** Offer incentives like $100 free credits for new users or exclusive marketplace-specific discounts to encourage trial usage and attract attention - **ISV Credits Model:** Provide $100 free credits for new users to try your product with metered usage thereafter. This lowers the barrier to entry and encourages trial usage. Highlight these credits on your marketplace listing and marketing materials to attract attention. - **Marketplace-Specific Discounts:** Offer exclusive discounts for purchases made through the cloud marketplace compared to direct sales. Similar to providing incentives a la SPIFF to your sales teams to drive strategic initiatives, this can drive more traffic to your marketplace listing. **Tip #3: Leverage AWS’s Beta Programs** Use features like “Request Demo” or “Contact Us” to facilitate customer engagement and provide hands-on product experiences through free trials. - **Request Demo:** Allows potential customers to request a product demonstration directly from your marketplace listing. - **Contact Us:** Provides a direct communication channel between potential customers and your sales team, enabling personalized interactions and addressing specific queries. - **Free Trials:** This feature can help convert prospects by providing a hands-on experience with your product. **Tip #4: Track and Report** Implement detailed reporting mechanisms to monitor user engagement, conversion rates, and revenue generated through the marketplace. Use this data to refine your strategies continuously. **Improve Procurement Speed and Compliance Trust** **Leverage Vendor Insights** Vendor Insights provide buyers with background information about vendors and detailed performance data about their products. This transparency helps buyers directly assess the reliability of the vendors and the suitability of the products, reducing perceived risks and building trust. And vendors can now reduce the operational burden of responding to buyer requests for risk assessment information by centralizing security and compliance artifacts and giving your customers a self-service access experience. **Highlight Reviews on G2 and AWS Marketplace** Buyers often rely on reviews to make informed decisions. Featuring positive reviews from G2 and AWS Marketplace on your product listing can significantly enhance credibility and attract more potential customers. \*\*\*\*Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews and regularly monitor these platforms to address any concerns promptly. Additionally, AWS Marketplace developed the SCMP in collaboration with buyer and seller communities to govern usage and define the obligations of buyers and sellers for digital solutions. This framework further enhances trust and compliance by ensuring transparent and standardized practices for all marketplace transactions.

"Summarize with Perplexity") We were thrilled to co-host a recent webinar with Vanta and Craft Ventures, diving deep into the world of cloud marketplaces. Our CEO and Co-founder, Jon Yoo, alongside Jessica Gray from Vanta, Tom Pinckney from Sourcegraph, Jason Lee from Snowflake and moderated by Sarah Blanchard from Craft Ventures, discussed strategies for leveraging cloud marketplaces to drive business growth. Here are some key takeaways from the conversation. #### **What is a Cloud Marketplace?** Jon kicked off the discussion by explaining the basics: “Cloud marketplaces are essentially the B2B equivalent of app stores for smartphones. Just as developers build on iOS and distribute their apps through the App Store, businesses can now build on the cloud and sell their software solutions through cloud marketplaces like AWS, Azure, and GCP.” Cloud marketplaces offer streamlined procurement processes, shortened sales cycles, and access to pre-committed cloud budgets. Companies can leverage these platforms to reach new customers, expedite procurement, and ultimately drive growth. Learn more about \[what Suger does\](/resources/blog/what-is-suger/. #### **Why Should Businesses Care?** Jessica from Vanta shared why cloud marketplaces are becoming increasingly important: “We noticed a growing interest from our customers asking if we were available on AWS Marketplace. As we leaned into this opportunity, we found that being listed not only facilitated easier procurement but also enhanced our credibility and partnership with AWS.” The discussion highlighted that cloud marketplaces are not just a procurement tool but also a strategic channel for co-selling and co-marketing, which can lead to significant revenue growth and deeper customer relationships. #### **Key Benefits of Cloud Marketplaces** 1. **Streamlined Procurement**: Cloud marketplaces simplify the buying process, reducing the steps and time required for customers to procure software solutions. This can be especially beneficial for startups and smaller companies looking to scale quickly. 2. **Access to Cloud Budgets**: Many companies have pre-committed cloud budgets with providers like AWS. By listing on a cloud marketplace, businesses can tap into these budgets, making it easier for customers to purchase their solutions. 3. **Enhanced Credibility**: Being listed on a reputable marketplace like AWS adds a layer of legitimacy and trust to a company’s offerings. It signals to potential customers that the company meets certain standards and has undergone a rigorous listing process. 4. **Co-Selling Opportunities**: Partnering with cloud providers opens up co-selling opportunities. Companies can collaborate with cloud provider sales teams to reach new customers and expand their market presence. #### **Lessons Learned and Best Practices** During the webinar, Jon and Jessica shared their experiences and lessons learned from navigating cloud marketplaces: - **Start with a Project Manager**: Jessica emphasized the importance of having a single point of contact to manage the marketplace listing process. This person can coordinate between different departments and ensure a smooth and efficient listing process. - **Internal Enablement**: Educating internal teams about the benefits and processes of cloud marketplaces is crucial. This helps in driving adoption and maximizing the potential of being listed. - **Focus on Quick Wins**: Jon advised companies to focus on getting a few quick wins on the marketplace to build momentum. This helps in proving the value of the marketplace channel and can drive further investment and resources. - **Understand the Commitment**: Both speakers highlighted the need for a clear understanding of the commitment required to succeed on cloud marketplaces. It’s not just about listing your product; it’s about ongoing management, optimization, and leveraging the marketplace for co-selling and marketing opportunities. Jon mentioned that succeeding in cloud marketplaces requires cross-departmental collaboration: “It takes a village, and sometimes the process becomes disorganized with departments pointing fingers. Cloud marketplaces are revenue-generating channels, so founders, CROs, or heads of sales often get involved to speed up procurement. As companies scale and engage in co-selling, it typically falls to heads of partnerships or business development because they drive incremental revenue or new strategic partnerships.” [Check it out here](/schedule-demo?__hstc=45788219.c253348360eaa3b9381604193f2d9e58.1719597219222.1719597219222.1719597219222.1&__hssc=45788219.3.1719597219223&__hsfp=253062604). Jason Lee from Snowflake agreed, he said: “I’ve been with Snowflake for about two and a half years, working on the strategy and biz ops team. As Jon said, it takes a village because it involves the entire organization. Marketplaces are seen differently by various teams, and you need an executive sponsor to push things forward. It involves IT, engineering, finance, collections, partnerships, sales, and revenue operations. Listing across multiple marketplaces increases complexity, but marketplaces continually roll out new features, keeping the job exciting.” **Tom Pinckney, the Head of Partnership at Sourcegraph**, shared shared the advantages of working with Suger to quickly enter cloud marketplaces: “When I joined Sourcegraph two years ago, the first suggestion was to list in all three cloud marketplaces. At that time, I felt the workload was too heavy and didn’t want to do it myself. Indeed, there are many hoops to jump through, and while AWS provides good support, the entire booking package process is quite complex and requires close cooperation with the finance department. Ultimately, we decided to outsource this work. Before discovering Suger, we worked with another vendor who was okay. Later, we found Suger and through Jon and his team, we quickly completed the listing.The good news is that after we activated Suger, we successfully completed three to four deals within a month.” As the digital landscape continues to evolve, cloud marketplaces will play an increasingly vital role in how businesses distribute and sell their software solutions. For companies looking to stay ahead of the curve, embracing cloud marketplaces is not just an option—it’s a necessity. By leveraging these platforms, companies can streamline procurement, access new budgets, enhance their credibility, and unlock new growth opportunities through strategic partnerships and co-selling initiatives.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Product-Led Growth (PLG) has been a driving force in ![image (2)-3](/blog/migrated/e7994894d260642c.png?v=2026-05-12)reshaping the software industry. Over the past two decades, PLG has become essential for many hypergrowth companies, such as Dropbox, Slack, and Atlassian, by allowing users to start using the product with minimal friction and scale seamlessly within organizations. Modern PLG leaders like Notion and Figma continue to utilize this approach with low entry prices or generous free tiers. Cloud marketplaces, such as AWS Marketplace, are emerging as vital channels for companies to deploy self-service models and create seamless user experiences. Contrary to the belief that marketplaces are solely for procurement, they offer significant opportunities to drive trials and public offers. #### **The Evolution of Self-Service in Marketplaces** Self-service models have become integral to both B2C and B2B marketplaces. In B2C, giants like Amazon and eBay have long demonstrated the power of self-service, allowing customers to browse, compare, and purchase products with minimal assistance. This shift towards self-service is now mirrored in B2B cloud marketplaces like AWS Marketplace. The success of B2C marketplaces provides valuable lessons for B2B cloud marketplaces: - **User Experience**: B2C marketplaces excel in providing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, a standard that B2B marketplaces are increasingly adopting. - **Customer Reviews**: Just as Amazon leverages customer reviews to build trust, AWS Marketplace incorporates third-party verified reviews from platforms like G2, offering real-world feedback that buyers can trust. - **Seamless Transactions**: B2C platforms streamline purchasing processes, which is now a critical feature of B2B marketplaces, reducing procurement times and enhancing buyer convenience. #### **Driving Product-Led Growth through Cloud Marketplaces** Moreover, the benefits of cloud marketplaces extend beyond these enhancements. Cloud marketplaces offer significant advantages for ISVs aiming to leverage PLG strategies: - **Greater Convenience**: Buyers can purchase products seamlessly and optimize overall cloud spend. Buyers **spent 80% more on ISV applications** when transacting through Cloud Marketplace compared to traditional Marketplace. - **Faster decision marketing**：Buyers are increasingly seeking ways to educate themselves and mitigate risks. Vendor Insights gives buyers compliance certifications, data privacy policies, and security practices on their products, helping them assess vendor reliability and product suitability quickly. - **Increased Licensing Flexibility**: Using AWS Marketplace can lead to **a 10% reductio**n in licensing costs for customers. - **Streamlined Procurement**: Time spent searching for and selecting vendors is reduced by 66%, and invoicing tasks by 50%, resulting **in $2 million in efficiency savings** through SCMP. Furthermore, the difference between cloud marketplaces and traditional B2B marketplaces lies in their ability to address the entire software commerce value chain, rather than merely facilitating simple buyer-seller interactions. By offering plug-and-play technical compatibility, driving trials, and public offers with subscription models, cloud marketplaces significantly enhance buyer procurement efficiency and flexibility. #### Suger comes in Listing your products on cloud marketplaces and selling your software solutions is one of the fastest ways to achieve PLG growth!

Flexibility to Meet GTM Motion](#5-flexibility-to-meet-gtm-motion) - [Speed Up from Start Effortlessly](#speed-up-from-start-effortlessly) In today’s competitive cloud computing landscape, expanding revenue streams is critical for growth. Google is betting big on AI infrastructure, offering advanced computing power and tools. Over the past two years, Google Cloud has doubled the number of third-party listings on the Marketplace. For early-stage companies, especially AI startups, this presents an excellent opportunity to enter the Google Cloud Marketplace, gaining a significant competitive edge. ## **1\. Access a Global Customer Base** Google Cloud’s revenue for Q2 surged by 29% to $10.3 billion, driven by increasing demand for AI capabilities. With over 960,000 active customers, GCP Marketplace provides AI startups with immediate access to a diverse global audience actively seeking innovative software solutions. By listing on the cloud marketplace, companies can directly reach enterprise customers and developers, rapidly expanding their user base. ![22](/blog/migrated/0b397cbb94edcb76.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **2\. Streamline Sales Process** Enterprise sales cycles can be complex, but GCP Marketplace simplifies the process, reducing sales cycles by providing a platform where products are pre-vetted, deployment is simplified, and billing is fully integrated. GCP launched [Marketplace Channel Private Offers](https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/partners/announcing-google-cloud-marketplace-private-offers) in June, 2024. ISV partners can streamline sales cycles and scale reach to more customers by bringing their channel partners of choice to the Google Cloud Marketplace.  ## **3\. Leverage Co-Selling and Strategic Partnerships** One of the unique benefits of listing on GCP Marketplace is the opportunity to co-sell with Google and its extensive partner network. Companies that join Google’s Partner Advantage program can significantly boost their sales efforts, often closing deals that are 32% larger through collaboration with Google’s sales teams. Startups like [Anomalo](https://www.datanami.com/this-just-in/anomalo-brings-its-ai-powered-data-quality-platform-to-google-cloud-marketplace/) have leveraged this co-selling approach to rapidly scale their go-to-market strategies, particularly in the AI space where Google Cloud is a preferred platform for generative AI unicorns. Learn more about how [Gen AI companies](https://cloud.google.com/partners/ai?hl=en) are leveraging Google Cloud Marketplace. ![33](/blog/migrated/a8ecb492d802e023.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **4\. Harness the Power of Google’s AI Ecosystem** GCP provides a robust infrastructure tailored for ISVs, offering cutting-edge technical resources and support. Google Cloud is building the most open and comprehensive AI ecosystem, helping companies solve complex problems and achieve their goals. This ecosystem is particularly beneficial for AI SaaS applications and data provider partners. Today, Google’s AI-optimized infrastructure is the platform of choice for startups developing generative AI. More than half of all funded generative AI startups are Google Cloud customers, including 70% of generative AI “unicorns,” or those valued at over $1 billion. ![12](/blog/migrated/3ec55a1a4d62530c.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **5\. Flexibility to Meet GTM Motion** In today’s market, flexibility is crucial to meeting the diverse needs of customers. Google Cloud Marketplace supports a variety of pricing models, including subscription-based, usage-based, and one-time purchase options. This provides users with greater flexibility and control over their software costs. Suger extends the functionalities of GCP by offering an [API-first approach](https://www.suger.io/docs/gcp-marketplace/pricing-model) that enables advanced string and numeric property filtering, various aggregation types, and the ability to set up Minimum Spend and Discount. These features empower ISVs to meet specific customer needs and optimize marketplace performance. Moreover, Google has dedicated significant effort over the years to building its co-selling capabilities with partners. Recent updates, including a key change in the GCP onboarding process, have made it easier than ever for partners to get started on GCP Marketplace. Now, partners can initiate the onboarding process independently, without requiring a Googler nomination. This streamlined process reduces operational overhead and accelerates time-to-market. Stay informed on Cloud Marketplace Partners [release notes](https://cloud.google.com/marketplace/docs/partners/release-notes). ## **Speed Up from Start Effortlessly** Navigating the complexities of getting listed on GCP Marketplace can be challenging, but Suger simplifies the process. Our API-easy integration and powerful customization fit diverse customer usage patterns and business objectives, helping you manage and monetize usage-based services efficiently.

"Summarize with Perplexity") According to Statista, as of early 2024, there are over 41,000 products and services available on the Azure Marketplace. While this extensive selection offers customers a wide array of solutions, it also presents significant challenges for ISVs. ![111-2](/blog/migrated/592d8240c2f028c1.png?v=2026-05-12) So, how can ISVs stand out in such a competitive environment? Here are some key challenges and strategies to overcome them: **Building and Maintaining Strong Co-Sell Relationships:** In the co-sell model on Azure Marketplace, forging close partnerships with Microsoft’s sales teams is crucial. At Suger, we recommend that ISVs actively engage in every co-sell opportunity and ensure effective follow-up to secure priority promotion from Microsoft’s sales teams. By continuously refining your collaboration strategies, you can better leverage these relationships to drive sales growth. **Technical Integration and Innovation Support:** In today’s market, accelerating innovation and meeting technical and compliance requirements are more important than ever. By leveraging Azure Marketplace’s comprehensive platform, ISVs can achieve faster technical integration and ensure their products are transaction-ready. Suger is here to help streamline this process, making your solutions more competitive from a technical standpoint. **Expanding Market Reach and Driving Business Growth:** To successfully expand your business on Azure Marketplace, ISVs need to fully utilize the various support and incentive programs offered by Microsoft. Suger encourages ISVs to stay informed and participate in these programs to broaden their market reach and take advantage of Microsoft’s powerful sales channels to drive business growth. **Good news is on the way**! The **FY25 Azure Marketplace Transact and Grow Incentive Campaign**, running from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, is here to turn these challenges into opportunities. [Contact us](https://www.suger.io/contact-us) for the detailed walking deck. This campaign is designed to reward ISVs for driving sales of transactable offers on Microsoft’s commercial marketplace. **⭐️INCENTIVE SUMMARY** Reward publishers for driving sales of transactable offers on Microsoft commercial marketplace. 💰 **What’s in it for you?** - Earn **up to $70,000** in cash rewards! - Get **$20,000** when your cumulative billed sales reach $100,000 USD. - Get **$50,000** when your cumulative billed sales reach $4,000,000 USD. **🛫FY25 campaign changes** **Focus on billed sales at a publisher ID level:** In the FY25 campaign, instead of measuring billed sales at the offer level, Azure switched to measuring billed sales at the publisher level (i.e the sum of billed sales from all offers). **All publishers can earn incentive:** Marketplace publishers who already reached the marketplace billed sales milestones in a previous fiscal year can also earn incentive as soon as they reach the milestone within FY25. With the FY25 Azure Marketplace Transact and Grow Incentive Campaign, there’s never been a better time for ISVs to capitalize on the opportunities within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Metering and Revenue Recognition: Navigating Complex usage based Billing](#4-metering-and-revenue-recognition-navigating-complex-usage-based-billing) - [Unlock Untapped Potential with a Streamlined Approach](#unlock-untapped-potential-with-a-streamlined-approach) ## **The Hidden Challenges of Cloud Marketplace** Are you constantly battling the manual tracking of transactions across multiple cloud marketplaces? Does managing complex metering and revenue recognition overwhelm your finance and sales teams? Do co-sell opportunities and private offers often slip through the cracks due to disconnected systems or manual errors? Cloud marketplaces are essential for growth, but effectively using them to drive co-sell partnerships and revenue is challenging. This blog highlights key pain points for sales and revenue operations teams, and how Suger’s automation and integration solve them. ### **1\. Managing Marketplace Transactions: The Struggle to Keep Up** Once a buyer commits to a marketplace deal, the complexity of managing private offers, renewals, and entitlements starts. Without streamlined workflows, tracking and booking these deals becomes tedious and prone to errors, leading to delays. Suger automates the entire process from deal submission to renewals, utilizing backend mapping and customizable templates to give your sales and revenue operations teams full visibility into transactions. Companies like Vanta successfully scaled operations and climbed the AWS ISV partner ranking by using native API integrations—such as CRM systems, AWS ACE, and reporting tools—to automate processes ranging from sharing opportunities to collaborating with AWS. ### **2\. Simplify Co-Sell Opportunities: Staying in Bi-directional Sync** Managing co-sell opportunities is critical for revenue growth, but sales teams often struggle to track approvals. Meanwhile, buyers need an efficient way to accept or reject private offers without delays. Suger integrates with Salesforce and AWS ACE to sync stages and automate referrals, keeping both platforms in sync. For example, Suger helped **Jumpcloud** increase marketplace revenue by 5x by automating co-sell collaboration with AWS, allowing sales teams to qualify prospects earlier and better manage procurement cycles. ### **3\. CPQ Integration and Offers Management: Simplifying the Complex** Creating private offers from marketplace opportunities can be complex. Accepted quotes need to be pulled into the system, product codes mapped accurately, and approvals managed in real-time. Suger’s CPQ integration streamlines this process by auto-generating offers from opportunities and populating data from accepted quotes. It maps line items to payment installments for multi-year deals and aligns product codes with pricing dimensions for automatic commit selection, reducing manual work and accelerating the sales cycle. ## **4\. Metering and Revenue Recognition: Navigating Complex usage based Billing** One of the biggest challenges ISVs face is managing metering and overage billing. Tracking consumption-based models, splitting entitlements, and handling monthly or annual overages can quickly become a logistical headache, especially when accurate revenue recognition is crucial for financial reporting. By integrating with **Lago**, **Metronome**, and **Orb**, Suger automates overage billing tasks and links buyer and entitlement data, ensuring accurate tracking and billing. All billing tasks can be retrieved within the workflow without manual intervention. ### **5\. Real-Time Communication and Notifications: Staying Ahead of Issues** In cloud marketplaces, operations teams need to know when something goes wrong—whether it’s a failed transaction, a billing error, or a missed co-sell opportunity. Manually tracking these issues is not only inefficient but risks leaving critical problems unresolved. Suger’s automated notification system sends real-time alerts for both successful tasks and issues, such as invalid records or approved opportunities. This keeps the operations team informed and ensures quick responses to maintain smooth operations. ## **Unlock Untapped Potential with a Streamlined Approach** The flow of market opportunities determines the speed of business growth, and seamless data flow drives cloud partnership success. Disjointed data, manual workflows, and missed co-sell deals hinder the potential to maximize marketplace success. This is where Suger steps in.  As an API-driven platform, Suger simplifies every aspect of your Cloud Marketplace GTM strategy—from listing products to managing co-sell partnerships and automating billing. With Suger, easy to start, easy to grow, easy to scale.

In 2023, SaaS giants like CrowdStrike, Snowflake, and Palo Alto Networks each reported over $1 billion in revenue through the Cloud Marketplace alone. For early-stage companies, especially AI startups, creating the right pricing strategy is critical to maximizing market potential and meeting customer needs. In this article, we’ll explore three key strategies for building an effective SaaS pricing model for GCP. ![Three pillars of a winning PLG SaaS pricing strategy on GCP Marketplace: clear models, transparency, and flexible billing](/blog/migrated/ada0941ee72bad3a.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **1\. Understand GCP Marketplace Pricing Models** GCP Marketplace offers several pricing models, and selecting the right one is crucial for attracting a diverse customer base. Here are some common pricing models: - **Free: Customers only pay for the Google Cloud resources they use.** Top-performing companies often use a free model to open up the top of the funnel, allowing users to sign up at no cost. As new users become active, there’s a strong foundation for future customer growth. - **Subscription Pricing**: **Customers pay a flat monthly fee for using your software.** Subscription models offer flexibility by allowing buyers to choose payment plans that align with their budgets. Providing both annual and monthly subscription options can secure predictable revenue streams. - \*\*Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG)/\*\***Usage-based**: This model allows customers to pay based on actual usage of your SaaS product. PAYG is ideal for cloud architects and developers who need flexible, on-demand access to solutions. This flexibility encourages users to test your product without committing to upfront costs, scaling as needed. For example, Salesforce mulls consumption pricing for AI agents. > “When we look at pricing, it will be on a consumption basis,” CEO of Salesforce, Marc Benioff said. “Salesforce may go with a per-conversation charge or sell consumption credits as it does with Data Cloud.” - **Combined** **Pricing**: In this model, customers pay a base subscription fee with additional usage charges. For example, a base plan might include a certain number of API requests, with additional fees as usage increases. ## **2.** **Prioritize Transparency and Align Pricing with Delivered Value** Your SaaS pricing strategy should always align with the value your product delivers to customers. Transparency in pricing is key, as customers appreciate clarity and consistency. The goal is to balance your pricing with the benefits your customers gain, such as cost savings, increased productivity, or scalability. For SaaS companies, especially those offering AI tools, adding a usage-based component to the pricing model can drive significant value. A case in point: HubSpot initially struggled with low net revenue retention (~70%) due to an overly rigid subscription model. After introducing usage-based pricing in 2011, which aligned pricing with customer success, net revenue retention jumped to nearly 100%. [](https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/18/why-do-saas-companies-with-usage-based-pricing-grow-faster/?guccounter=1#.YGH47GRKhmo) - **Customer Segmentation**: Tailor your pricing to different customer segments based on company size, industry, or specific needs. For example, a small AI startup may prefer an affordable entry-level plan, while an enterprise customer may be willing to invest in premium features and higher-tier options. - **Value Metrics**: Consider tying pricing to value metrics such as API calls, storage, or compute power. This allows for a scalable model that grows with customer usage. ## **3\. Buyers first, Offer Flexible Billing and Payment Terms** Flexibility in billing and payment terms can be a powerful incentive for attracting a wider customer base. Many companies prefer payment options that align with their cash flow and financial planning. Offering this flexibility helps you accommodate different buyer types and close deals faster. - **Annual vs. Monthly Billing**:  Offering annual payments at a discount encourages long-term commitments and provides stable revenue. Monthly billing, on the other hand, is more appealing to smaller businesses or those with limited budgets, as it reduces upfront costs. - **Custom Terms for High-Value Clients**: For larger customers, consider offering custom terms or private offers. While public offers on the GCP Marketplace are excellent for low- to mid-tier purchases, private offers allow you to negotiate bespoke pricing and payment schedules for enterprise clients. Check more, [how to create private offers](https://doc.suger.io/gcp-marketplace/create-private-offer). ## **Start Simple with Suger’s Metered Billing Capabilities** One way to create a buyer-first approach is by implementing metered billing. By directly linking costs to usage, you can tangibly prove value to your customers. Moreover, sharing detailed usage data in invoices builds trust in your brand even after the deal is closed. Setting up metered billing can be complex, requiring cross-functional collaboration across finance, revops, sales, and engineering teams. That’s where Suger comes in!  Suger offers flexible pricing model configurations, more intuitive filters, and a smoother billing operation experience. You can track usage in real-time, ensuring accurate billable metrics and setting trigger alerts for potential overages — giving your team peace of mind while keeping customers satisfied.

Enter private offers: a game-changer for ISVs and buyers, enabling a more flexible and personalized cloud procurement experience. In this blog, we’ll explore why private offers are becoming a critical component of cloud strategies across Cloud marketplaces and how you can leverage them to maximize value. ## **Public vs. Private Offers: What’s the Difference?** When it comes to cloud marketplace offers, understanding the distinction between public and private offers is key to developing an effective strategy: - **Public Offers:** These offers are visible to all buyers on the cloud marketplace and typically follow a standardized pricing model. Public offers are ideal for self-serve purchases, often used by cloud architects and technical buyers for pay-as-you-go products. Their ease of access and seamless integration make them a popular choice for low to mid-cost solutions. However, they lack the flexibility that businesses often require as they scale. - **Private Offers:** In contrast, private offers provide customized pricing, negotiated terms, and tailored solutions specific to each customer’s needs. Unlike public offers, which cater to a broad audience, private offers allow sellers to personalize their sales approach. This makes them particularly suited for high-value transactions and enterprise-level clients, where specific requirements and confidentiality are paramount. [Learn more](https://doc.suger.io/aws-marketplace/create-private-offer). * * * ## **The Benefits of Private Offers** Private offers provide several compelling benefits that make them an attractive choice for both vendors and buyers on cloud marketplaces: 1. **Custom Pricing and Discounts:** Vendors can create personalized pricing models, including pre-negotiated discounts and off-list pricing. This helps businesses secure better financial deals, especially for large-scale or long-term purchases. [For example](https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/case-studies/nerdio), Nerdio onboarded a number of customers by leveraging the private offer functionality of the marketplace. 2. **Tailored Terms and Contracts:** One of the standout features of private offers is the ability to customize terms to fit a buyer’s unique business needs. Whether it’s subscription-based pricing, consumption models, or flexible payment schedules, private offers allow businesses to optimize their procurement strategy to align with their operational and financial goals. Watch how to [accept the private offer](https://doc.suger.io/aws-marketplace/accept-private-offer) as the end buyer. 3. **Maximizing Cloud Commitments:** For platforms like Azure, private offers can count toward a customer’s cloud consumption commitments. This means organizations can maximize their cloud investments while still enjoying the benefits of custom terms and pricing. 4. **Streamlined Procurement and Access:** Private offers are designed for speed and efficiency. Transactions can often be completed in minutes, and vendors can bundle multiple products or services into a single offer, simplifying the procurement process for buyers. 5. **Maintaining Trusted Partnerships:** Private offers enable vendors to strengthen relationships with their channel partners. Through multiparty offers, partners can act as intermediaries, ensuring that existing business relationships are preserved while leveraging the streamlined transaction process of cloud marketplaces. ## **Why Now is the Time for ISVs to Embrace Private Offers** The shift in buyer behavior toward product-led sales through cloud marketplaces presents a significant opportunity for ISVs. As market expert Jay McBain noted, “For the 35,000 vendors that we work with, they are reconsidering how they go to market…how transactions are going to work to get customers.” This shift includes an increased emphasis on private offers, which allow ISVs greater control over their pricing strategies while tapping into committed customer cloud spend. Private offers also empower ISVs to mirror the personalized approach of direct sales, leading to stronger customer relationships and higher-value transactions. By providing solutions tailored to each customer’s needs, ISVs can create more engaging experiences and build long-term partnerships.

Managing multiple iterations, invoicing, and reporting across different platforms can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This is where **Suger** comes in.

David Mauer’s expertise in scaling AWS CPPO and Google Cloud Marketplace Programs drove GitLab’s revenue to $100M ARR in just 24 months. And iFood used CPPO to reduce procurement time from 2-3 months to just 2-3 days, consolidate nine different tools, and save 2-3 weeks of internal processing time. Discover [how iFood gained agility with AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/ifood-aws-marketplace-case-study/). ## **What is CPPO?** Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) is a program on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud that allows Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to work with channel partners—resellers, system integrators, and global system integrators—to resell software at wholesale prices. CPPO shifts financial and contractual responsibilities to partners, enabling custom pricing and private offers tailored to end customers. [](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/partners/channel-programs?ref_=awsmp_fea_pvo_cppochpgm&trk=awsmp_fea_pvo_cppochpgm) ## **Key Benefits of CPPO** The CPPO model provides several compelling benefits for ISVs, channel partners, and customers: - **Custom Pricing and Offers**: CPPO allows for **tailored pricing and configurations**, enabling channel partners to create competitive and customized packages that meet specific customer needs. - **Streamlined Procurement**: CPPO simplifies the procurement process by allowing customers to purchase solutions directly through their cloud provider’s marketplace, **reducing friction and accelerating business outcomes.** - **New Revenue Streams**: ISVs and channel partners gain access to over 330,000 active subscribers on platforms like AWS Marketplace, driving new revenue and fostering new partnerships. - **Enhanced Channel Partner Relationships**: CPPO helps ISVs strengthen relationships with channel partners by giving them control over sales processes, pricing strategies, and service offerings. ## **How CPPO Works** The process for joining and utilizing CPPO is straightforward for both channel partners and ISVs, but a well-thought-out strategy is key: - **For Channel Partners**: Onboard to the cloud marketplace as resellers, secure resale authorizations from ISVs, and integrate CPPO into their sales strategy. - **For ISVs**: List your software on cloud marketplaces like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and authorize channel partners to resell your products. For more details, visit the [AWS Marketplace CPPO page](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/features/cpprivateoffers). ## **Get started in CPPO today** With the Suger platform, ISVs can efficiently manage CPPO opportunities across AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single console.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [How to Build an Effective Metering Strategy](#how-to-build-an-effective-metering-strategy) Metering refers to the process of tracking and recording the usage of a software product or cloud service to facilitate accurate billing based on actual usage. It is a critical component for SaaS companies on cloud marketplace like AWS, Azure and GCP because it supports diverse pricing models and provides insights into how customers engage with their products. For instance, traditional subscription models may not be suitable for all customers, especially in environments where usage fluctuates significantly. With metering, businesses can implement more flexible pricing strategies, such as pay-as-you-go, which can lower barriers to entry and attract a wider customer base. Moreover, metering helps SaaS companies monitor usage patterns and detect anomalies, ensuring compliance and preventing misuse. ![hyperscaler-marketplaces-seamless-product-listing-qpk33l81rppsx2xxx323pua0guja6q68ah9dodp44q](/blog/migrated/b304434923d31a71.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **How to Build an Effective Metering Strategy** Creating a robust metering strategy for your SaaS product in cloud marketplaces like AWS, Azure, and GCP involves several key considerations. Each marketplace has its own unique pricing models and integration requirements, which can pose challenges for vendors looking to implement a unified approach. 1. **Define Your Metering Goals and Metrics:** The first step in building a metering strategy is to identify the key usage metrics that are most relevant to your business model. These could include data transfer volume, API calls, storage capacity, or user counts. Choosing the right metrics ensures that your billing accurately reflects user activity and supports your pricing strategy. [Contact us](/contact-us) to learn more success metrics for your billing. 2. **Understanding Marketplace-Specific Pricing Models** Different cloud marketplaces offer distinct pricing models, some of which might share the same name but operate differently. For example: - [AWS Subscription](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/saas-subscriptions.html): A pay-as-you-go model with no commitment, allowing customers to cancel anytime. This supports usage-based metering, making it ideal for dynamic, scalable applications. - [Azure Flat Rate](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace-offers/plans-pricing#pricing-and-availability): A monthly or annual commitment contract, with the option for customers to pay for additional usage beyond their committed amount. This model supports usage-based metering but requires careful tracking to manage overages. - [GCP Subscription](https://cloud.google.com/marketplace/docs/partners/integrated-saas/select-pricing): A flat rate, commitment-based model without usage-based metering. This requires a different approach, such as manual monitoring and reporting. To address these differences, Suger offers a \[unified Usage Metering Interface\](/resources/blog/summer-2024-release/ that supports all pricing models across these marketplaces, simplifying the complex task of managing diverse billing structures. 3. **Seamless Integration with Cloud Marketplaces** Integrating metering systems with cloud marketplaces can be challenging due to varying APIs and data formats. Suger addresses this by providing a unified API that allows you to report usage data directly to the appropriate marketplace in the correct format. For example, by using the [Suger Metering API](https://doc.suger.io/get-started/metering/), you can: - Send a POST request to report usage records, which Suger validates, aggregates, and forwards to the appropriate vendor based on the pricing model. - Use the Batch Meter Usage Records feature to efficiently report multiple usage records for various entitlements or buyers simultaneously through a CSV upload or API call. This ensures that your usage data is accurately reported and helps prevent errors. 4. **Managing Complex Billing Scenarios** One of the significant challenges in cloud marketplaces is managing complex billing scenarios, such as combining commitment contracts with usage-based billing. Suger simplifies this process with features like: - **Commit with Additional Usage Metering**: Automatically tracks usage against a committed amount, reporting only the excess usage to the marketplace. This reduces the burden on vendors to manually configure and monitor usage limits. - **Commit with Additional Usage at List Price**: Ensures that additional usage beyond a committed amount is billed at the list price, maintaining revenue integrity without complex manual adjustments. ### **Exploring Different Pricing Models** Choosing the right pricing model is crucial for aligning your SaaS offering with customer needs and maximizing revenue. Suger supports [advanced pricing models](https://doc.suger.io/get-started/metering/), including: - **Tiered Pricing:** Different rates are applied based on usage tiers, incentivizing higher usage by lowering costs as consumption increases. - **Bulk Pricing:** Batches usage into predefined units, simplifying billing for large-scale services. - **Matrix Pricing:** Applies different rates based on multiple properties, such as region and partner, allowing for highly customized billing. - **Minimum Spend and Discounts:** Ensures a minimum spend threshold and applies discounts automatically, enhancing flexibility and customer satisfaction. Metering is not just a technical necessity but a strategic tool that can drive business success. By leveraging Suger comprehensive metering features, SaaS companies can navigate the complexities of cloud marketplaces, optimize their pricing strategies, and ultimately, enhance their growth and profitability.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Cloud marketplaces have revolutionized how businesses procure and sell software, streamlining purchasing processes and providing access to vast customer bases. However, achieving success in these marketplaces involves more than just getting listed. ISVs need a comprehensive strategy that leverages AWS’s powerful programs for Product-Led Growth (PLG) and co-selling. ### **Addressing Buyer Challenges in the AWS Marketplace** When selecting software, buyers often face challenges like lengthy evaluations, compliance requirements, and budget constraints. This decision-making process can span months, requiring risk assessments, compliance checks, and approvals. By leveraging AWS Marketplace, sellers can help overcome these challenges and enhance the buyer experience through: - **Broad Reach and Trust**: Expose your products to over 330,000 active AWS users, showcasing security and certification standards. - **Procurement Efficiency**: Speed up compliance processes by 40%, making it easier for buyers to meet regulatory standards. - **Reduced Manual Configuration**: Simplify the setup process, reducing the time and complexity for buyers. - **Spend Optimization**: Allow buyers to apply purchases toward budget commitments, helping them manage cloud spend more effectively. ### **Activate PLG with the AWS Seller Program** **PLG** is central to solving these buyer challenges and optimizing marketplace success. PLG has reshaped the software landscape by supporting self-service models that engage users and offer a seamless purchasing experience. Through the AWS Seller Program, ISVs can scale their marketplace presence, engage users, and foster self-service purchasing. The AWS Seller Program equips ISVs with: - **GTM Guidance**: Access to self-service marketing templates for streamlined campaigns. - **Pay/Go Enablement:** Receive technical support and a $10K credit incentive for new listings, driving Pay-as-you-go offerings. - **Marketing Development Funds (MDF)**: Up to $40K to support ISV-led campaigns designed to engage AWS users. - **Targeted Customer Outreach:** AWS supports ISVs with specialist sessions to tailor approaches for the AWS audience. For instance, the program provides incentives and marketing support for Pay-as-you-go products with free trials, enabling ISVs to convert trial users into long-term customers. **Download the AWS Seller Program Guide and Activation materials to** launch your PLG strategy and capture AWS users with self-service offerings. hbspt.forms.create({ portalId: “45291268”, formId: “bae8e288-5306-4259-a5ef-160a72d361a8” }); ### **Leveraging APN Programs to Fuel Co-Sell Success** Co-selling, where AWS and ISV partners work together to pursue customer opportunities, creates a powerful sales flywheel. By working closely with AWS sales teams, managing pipelines, and sharing customer success stories, ISVs can gain visibility and build trust with AWS. Key benefits of APN Co-Sell Programs include: - Deal Acceleration: AWS can introduce you to IT and procurement stakeholders, aligning strategies to expedite deal closure. - Account Expansion: Gain strategic insights and expand your reach within accounts, with AWS support in new business units and decision-maker engagement. - Account Intelligence: Access key account insights, giving you the information needed to tailor your approach effectively. - Proof of Concept (POC) Cost Offset: AWS credits can offset POC or migration costs, reducing barriers for new co-sell scenarios. ### **Close Deals Faster with the Right Tools** Managing co-sell opportunities across cloud marketplaces can become complex. That’s where **Suger’s CRM Connector** steps in, automating each phase of opportunity management to keep your CRM and cloud marketplace platforms synchronized. - **Automated Updates**: Suger’s connector eliminates manual tracking, ensuring your CRM reflects real-time opportunity changes. - **Full Opportunity Lifecycle Management**: Manage every co-sell step, from opportunity creation to final stages, for full operational visibility. - **Real-Time Sync**: Instantly sync data across CRM, AWS ACE, and Microsoft Partner Center, keeping all teams aligned. 💡 **Experience seamless opportunity management with Suger**—easy to start, easy to scale. ### What our customers say > “With Suger’s expertise and support, we’ve transformed our relationship with AWS, significantly increasing our marketplace transactions and co-sell pipeline by 50%.” — Andrew Dooley, Head of Partnerships at Panther > “We started using Sugar a quarter back and can’t say enough positives on how easy they are making co-sell become and even building quotes from the rep level to the clouds with a few clicks without concern of error.

By partnering with [Suger](https://www.suger.io/), Panther strengthened its relationship with the AWS team, built tighter integration with ACE for co-selling, and received deeper support. ### **The Perfect Partner and Best Onboarding Experience** Panther initially used a different vendor for AWS Marketplace listing but received no support post-listing. Andrew was searching for a platform that could **easily manage co-sell opportunities and private offers**. Upon learning that Suger could integrate natively within CRM and partner portals with field mapping, he contacted Suger immediately. [Suger](https://www.suger.io/) provides professional expertise and an amazing onboarding experience. To better create a bespoke solution, Suger attended Panther’s sales kickoff and **provided enablement to make sellers more comfortable with the co-sell process**, helping them understand what to share, when to share it, and how to make it mutually beneficial for prospects, Panther’s sellers, and AWS. Learn more about technical onboarding in our [Get Started docs](https://www.suger.io/docs/get-started). ### **Rapid Co-Sell Process Creation: Achieving Faster and Larger Transactions** Before using Suger, Panther manually created many private offers and entitlements. However, as the business grew, the cost of cross-team communication and collaboration was high.  By integrating Suger’s platform and Salesforce, the sales and revops team handled private offers and entitlements seamlessly and visibly, **which helped Panther go from sharing less than 20% of deals with AWS for support to 100% in the last quarter.** This significant achievement increased their traction with AWS. 👉🏻[Why Cloud Marketplace Matters?](https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/why-cloud-marketplace) ### **Building a Deeper Relationship and Getting More Value with AWS** It’s crucial to treat the co-sell process as both a sales enablement activity and a technical integration. Setting up Salesforce and ACE is just the beginning. Integrating marketplace processes into the sales organization was vital. Throughout this journey, [Suger](https://www.suger.io/) helped Panther achieve consistency over quarters and years. \*\*For the first time, Panther started seeing AWS-originated opportunities entering their pipeline.\*\*Thanks to the relationship facilitated by Suger, there is now much greater awareness of who Panther is.

However, manual billing processes and fragmented subscription management often hold teams back.  At Suger, we solve this challenge with end-to-end automated usage metering—directly integrating Stripe with AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces to \[**eliminate manual reconciliation and ensure accurate, real-time billing**.\](/resources/blog/suger-product-update-quickbooks-and-stripe-integrations/ Here’s how we empower enterprises to turn usage data into actionable insights—without the headaches. ## **Why Manual Usage Metering Fails?** For ISVs selling on AWS, Azure, or GCP, consumption-based pricing unlocks growth—but only if billing keeps pace. Without automation, ISVs face: **❌ Delayed & Inaccurate Billing** Usage fluctuates constantly for on-demand compute, storage, and SaaS services. Without automated syncing, discrepancies between Stripe billing records and cloud marketplace reports cause revenue delays and disputes. **❌ Manual Effort & Operational Overload** Engineers spend 15+ hours per week manually mapping Stripe usage records to cloud marketplace dimensions (e.g., converting “API Calls” to AWS’s APIGW-RequestUnits). **❌ Subscription & Entitlement Mapping Complexity** Each system uses different metering dimensions, requiring ISVs to export usage logs, manually map them to AWS/Azure/GCP metering units (e.g., vCPU-hours), and generate invoices—wasting hundreds of hours annually. **❌ Buyer Distrust Due to Billing Errors** Inconsistent invoices lead to billing disputes and customer frustration. Buyers lose trust in a vendor after just one billing error. ## **Suger-Stripe Integration: Turn Usage Data into Revenue, Automatically** Many ISVs already use Stripe Subscriptions for billing but struggle to maintain accurate usage-based records across multiple marketplaces. Suger solves this by automating the entire lifecycle: Buyer Signup → Subscription Activation → Usage Collection → Billing Sync → Revenue Reporting ![Purple Turquoise Corporate Geometric Business Case Study and Report Business Presentation (3)](/blog/migrated/4c667d1bac3cf1c2.png?v=2026-05-12) 1. **Seamless Buyer Onboarding and Activate PLG** - [**Dedicated Signup Pages**](https://doc.suger.io/get-started/signup-url-redirect/): Suger provides each ISV with a unique self-service sign-up flow, embedding **cloud billing** from the moment a buyer arrives. - [**Automated Stripe Subscriptions**](https://doc.suger.io/integrations/stripe)[:](https://doc.suger.io/integrations/stripe) When a buyer discovers your solution on AWS, Azure, or GCP, Suger creates a **Stripe customer and subscription**, populating metadata (like Domain ID) for straightforward Stripe-to-marketplace mapping. 2. **Automated Marketplace Sync – Reduce 90% of Billing Work** To streamline subscription and entitlement management, Suger provides a workflow that automatically syncs Stripe subscription data to the Suger Console, eliminating manual data reconciliation and ensuring real-time updates. - **Hourly Sync from Stripe → AWS, Azure, GCP** – No **CSV uploads** or **manual intervention** required. - [**Entitlement Auto-Updates**](https://doc.suger.io/metering-and-billing/entitlement/) – Suger automatically updates **entitlements** and **subscription states**, keeping Stripe and cloud marketplace records in sync. ![Suger-Stripe integration architecture: usage events captured by Suger, metered through Stripe, and recognized as revenue](/blog/migrated/f1b3daf81aa1a035.png?v=2026-05-12) 3. **Real-Time Usage Tracking & Key Metrics Reporting** - [**Incremental Usage Reporting**](https://doc.suger.io/get-started/metering/): ISVs send data (e.g., VM uptime, storage consumed) to Stripe on an hourly basis (or preferred interval). - **Automated Dimension Mapping**: Suger instantly converts Stripe usage records (e.g., product\_id=XYZ) to marketplace billing dimensions (e.g., “AWS vCPU-Hours”), guaranteeing **accurate** cloud billing. ## **How It Works: Quick Setup in Suger Console** Implementing automated usage-based billing with Suger is straightforward: **1\. Configure Stripe Integration** - Within the [Suger Console](/), integrate your [Stripe account](https://doc.suger.io/integrations/stripe). - **Enable Auto Report Usage** and set **Billing Mode** to a quantity-based model. **2\. Define Usage Mapping** - Map **Source Dimensions** (Stripe Product IDs) to **Target Dimensions** (AWS, Azure, or GCP units). - No custom scripts required—just a few clicks in the console. **3\. Go Live** - Suger starts pulling usage records from Stripe at your chosen interval and pushes the data to each marketplace. - For more details, see [Suger’s Usage Metering Guide](https://doc.suger.io/get-started/metering#metering-dimension-conversion). 4. **Enhanced Workflow Automation** Once Stripe is integrated with Suger, you can automate workflows to streamline operations. For example, you can trigger a workflow to automatically create a new subscription in the Stripe account after receiving a marketplace subscription notification, reducing duplicate manual work and ensuring accuracy. ## **Customer Success: From Chaos to Clarity** **Challenge:**  A leading provider of virtualized mobile device relied on Stripe Subscription for billing but struggled with [cloud usage based billing](/usage-metering-billing) automation across AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces. 🚨 300% usage spikes caused manual reconciliation failures between Stripe and AWS. 🚨 15% of monthly invoices were delayed due to billing discrepancies. **Suger Solution:** By integrating with Suger, the company: ✅ Automated hourly usage sync from Stripe to AWS Marketplace. ✅ Enabled real-time entitlement mapping for seamless subscription tracking. ✅ Eliminated manual reconciliation, cutting operational costs. **Results:**  📉 35% cost reduction during low-usage periods. ✅ 100% billing accuracy despite 10x usage fluctuations. 🔄 100% automated usage tracking. ⏳ Finance team cut invoice processing time from 2 weeks to 2 hours. ## **Ready to Streamline Your Cloud Marketplace Billing?** By automating usage-based billing with **Suger**, ISVs slash operational overhead, **minimize billing disputes**, and provide a more **transparent** experience for buyers—no more manual CSVs or confusing invoices.

During 2024, we more than quadrupled our revenue as we welcomed 200+ customers such as Snowflake, Intel, Glean, 1Password, Airtable, Vanta, and Fivetran. ## **Evolving problems to evolving space** Since cloud marketplaces have become mainstream, we’ve learned companies spend too much time on mundane tasks such as integrating CRM and ERP systems to marketplaces, managing end-to-end contract lifecycles, and validating / recognizing metered usage / revenue. The process becomes even more complex in enterprise where different teams manage different workflows. We experienced this firsthand at larger orgs such as Salesforce and Confluent where business systems struggled to keep up with addition of new sales and procurement channels. Teams get stuck in a never-ending loop of copy-pasting, unmanaged automations, and makeshift workflows that feel more like a DIY project than a growth strategy. Mo channels, mo problems. ## **Suger approach** Suger’s AI-powered platform automates the entire quote-to-cash process which streamlines fulfillment for software products, and frees go-to-market teams from engineering and operational burdens. We provide enterprise-grade intelligent workflows customizable to our customers’ needs. Our users can elevate themselves from mundane manual tasks to truly driving cloud partnerships and marketplace transactions. And it’s working! On average, our customers saw a 3x increase in marketplace deal volume and 140% higher contract values once they switched to us from other tools and DIY solutions. ## **The Future** With this new round of funding, Suger will continue to make significant R&D investments to deliver a unified ecosystem of cloud forward procurement. What about AI? There’s endless data at every stage of a deal cycle to transform how our users can partner better with internal stakeholders and external partners. Expect to hear a lot more about our AI powered workflows very soon! Raising a Series A is just a milestone and our journey has only just begun. It’s still the early days of cloud marketplace procurement, but the potential is very clear – We’re excited to build a future where every software transaction is frictionless, bringing an e-commerce experience to B2B sales. \_\_\_ _If you’re interested in playing a role in our next chapter,_ [_we’re hiring_](https://www.linkedin.com/company/suger-inc/jobs/?viewAsMember=true)_._ _If you’re interested in exploring why high-growth companies are excited about Suger,_ [_schedule a time_](/schedule-demo) _to talk with our team._ ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # How Automated Usage Metering Drives Revenue URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/automated-cloud-usage-metering/ Type: Blog 1.

Cloud marketplaces are expected to reach **$85 billion by 2028**, outpacing the combined revenue of top companies like Salesforce, Adobe, and Shopify. While this represents massive growth potential, it also introduces new complexities for revenue teams—especially when it comes to tracking customer usage, ensuring accurate [cloud usage based billing](/usage-metering-billing), and recognizing revenue in real time. ## **The Challenge** Managing the flow of customer usage data across systems and teams is no small feat. When cloud marketplace operations are involved, RevOps teams face an even bigger challenge: - **System Fragmentation**: Sales and finance teams are often working with different systems, leading to duplicated data, delays, and errors. - **Slow Revenue Recognition**: Without automation, revenue recognition can be delayed, making it difficult to forecast and report on the business. - **Manual Tasks**: A lack of automation means more time spent manually tracking usage, updating deals, and generating invoices, slowing down the entire process. But there’s good news! Automated usage metering simplifies these complexities, providing a way to track, bill, and optimize revenue at scale—no more chaos. ## **Why Automated Usage Metering is Your Secret Weapon** Think of automated cloud service metering using Azure Metering API or AWS Metering API as your business’s GPS. It ensures that revenue operations stay on the right track and that every department is aligned.

The **AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR)** validates your solution across security, reliability, and operational excellence, and is essential for accessing co-sell programs, private offers, and AWS Marketplace benefits. Whether you’re listing a SaaS application or building for enterprise-scale delivery, the FTR helps ensure your solution meets AWS’s standards across, ✅ Security ✅ Reliability ✅ Operational Excellence In this AWS FTR guide, we’ll cover what FTR is, key 2025 updates, the business value for ISVs, architectural requirements, and how to stay compliant and efficient post-review. ## 🔍 What is the AWS Foundational Technical Review? The AWS FTR is a structured review that evaluates your software’s architecture against a subset of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Specifically, it ensures your solution, - Protects customer data with secure design and encryption practices - Recovers gracefully from faults and failures - Maintains reliable performance under varying workloads - Is built and operated with repeatable, scalable processes ## 🎯 Six Reasons FTR Is a Game-Changer for ISVs 1. ### **List on AWS Marketplace** While AWS FTR process is not required to list on AWS Marketplace, it is essential for unlocking key AWS Partner benefits. Products that pass the FTR are tagged as “Reviewed by AWS,” which boosts buyer confidence and signals to AWS Sales Representatives that your solution is vetted and enterprise-ready. This increases the likelihood of co-sell support and field engagement. With an FTR-approved listing, you can, - Build trust with buyers through the “Reviewed by AWS” designation - Qualify for Private Pricing Agreements (PPA) - Offer flexible pricing models - Receive greater attention from AWS co-sell teams 2. ### **Reduce Business Risk** Identifying vulnerabilities and architectural gaps early helps prevent outages, performance issues, and compliance concerns down the road. 3. ### **Fast-Track AWS Partner Validation** FTR is required for moving from Registered to Validated or Differentiated Partner status, positioning your company as a trusted AWS ISV. 4. ### **Unlock Co-Sell and Partner Programs** From AWS ISV Accelerate to AWS Competency, FTR opens the door to programs that increase sales velocity and market trust. 5. ### **Enhance Customer Confidence** FTR-reviewed products deliver better customer outcomes, leading to, - Higher CSAT and NPS - Stronger customer renewals - More positive reviews and word-of-mouth 6. ### **Qualify for AWS Funding** Eligible ISVs can access, - AWS Activate credits - Marketplace Seller Private Offers with custom pricing - AWS Sales organization connection to drive joint sales opportunities with customers ## ⚙️ Key Updates to AWS FTR Checklist in 2025 AWS has rolled out improvements to make the AWS FTR process​ more efficient and accessible, ⏱️ **Faster Reviews**: With support from Amazon Bedrock, FTR approval times can now be reduced from weeks to just 30 minutes, provided submissions are complete and compliant. 🧱 **FTR Waived with AWS Well-Architected Review**: If you’ve completed an AWS-led Well-Architected Review within the last 12 months with no high-risk items, you can skip the FTR altogether. 📆 **Longer Renewal Period**: FTR certifications now last 3 years, up from 2, cutting down on review cycles and operational overhead. 📣 **Discoverability Boost**: FTR-approved solutions are prioritized in the AWS Partner Solution Finder and internal AWS sales tools, enhancing your visibility ## **🧭 Navigating the Architecture Requirement** To be eligible for key AWS Marketplace benefits (like PPA drawdown), your software must be deployed on AWS. As of May 1, 2025, all sellers must update architecture documentation in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal. **Hosting Patterns That Qualify,** - Application + Control Plane on AWS - Migration/Replication workloads that run fully on AWS 📌 If your control plane is outside AWS or your product only connects to AWS (not hosted), you may still publish but won’t qualify for co-sell incentives. **What You’ll Need to Submit,** - Clearly labeled architecture diagrams - Grouped application and control plane components - Logical deployment breakdown (seller, buyer, or third-party accounts) ![AWS Architectural Review - Flowchart (3)](/blog/migrated/20f455245318a250.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **🛠️ Post-FTR: Maintaining Compliance & Operational Efficiency** While the FTR focuses on architecture, many teams find the operational effort of keeping up with AWS policy changes, pricing updates, and listing requirements just as complex. That’s where internal platforms or external tools like Suger can help, by: - Monitor AWS policy changes and keep customers informed to update SaaS/AMI listing - Syncing Marketplace activity with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot - Tracking revenue, usage, and private offers post-listing **Note :** Suger doesn’t perform the FTR review, but it helps ensure you stay compliant, visible, and operationally efficient after your listing goes live. ## **How to Get Started** To begin your AWS FTR journey, - Identify the AWS Software Path or Services Path your solution belongs to - Use the Well-Architected Tool to self-assess readiness - Submit your FTR request via AWS Partner Central - Collaborate with your Partner Solutions Architect for next steps ## **📌 Final Thoughts** AWS FTR isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a strategic advantage. By aligning your solution with AWS’s best practices, you open doors to growth programs, sales support, and increased trust. Combine that with the right operational systems post-review, and your cloud GTM motion becomes scalable, secure, and future-ready. **🕒 Reminder to update AWS Architectural details in AWS Marketplace Management Portal (AMMP) by April 30, 2025** Need help with listing or managing your marketplace effectively to drive revenue and increase deal velocity? 👉 Reach out to Suger for a [live demo](/schedule-demo) on how you can achieve these without manual effort. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Suger Analytics: Break Down Your Data Silos URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/suger-analytics/ Type: Blog 1.

From AWS listing rejects to cloud marketplace compliance errors, even the smallest missteps can delay your go-live by weeks. This guide highlights the most common AWS Marketplace listing mistakes for both SaaS and AMI offerings, referencing AWS’s official Request Errors and Issues, and shows how Suger completely takes this task off your plate, managing listings end-to-end, reducing go-live time, increasing visibility, accelerating growth, and reducing manual intervention. ## **Common SaaS Listing Errors** 1. IAM Role & Entitlement Errors: Misconfigured IAM roles or entitlement logic lead to broken access flows during AWS testing and listing rejection. 2. Broken Usage Metering: Inaccurate metering APIs or failure to report usage data causes billing issues and offers rejection. 3. Incorrect Pricing Models: Misaligned hourly or usage-based pricing is one of the top AWS Marketplace pricing errors flagged by reviewers. 4. Private Offer Errors: Manual mistakes in tier structure, start/end dates, or terms create private offer errors, often invisible until deals fall through. 5. Compliance & Metadata Gaps: Missing tax info, support details, or product metadata cause cloud marketplace compliance errors and amazon listing errors. 6. Multi-Cloud Copy-Paste Errors: Reusing the same listing for Azure/GCP on AWS creates multi-cloud marketplace listing errors due to schema mismatches. ## Top AWS AMI Listing Errors 1. Incorrect EC2 Configuration: Unsupported instance types or misconfigured launch parameters are recurring AWS EC2 errors that block AMI listings. 2. AMI Visibility & Permissions:  If AMIs aren’t shared with AWS or lack launch permissions, listings are auto-rejected. A classic AWS listing reject case.Broken 3.Snapshots or AMI IDs: Referencing corrupted snapshots or outdated AMI IDs results in critical AWS product listing mistakes that block buyer access. ## **Removing the Friction from AWS Listings with Suger** Suger automates the entire lifecycle of AWS Marketplace listings, from setup to private offers to compliance reporting so your team doesn’t have to worry about manual mistakes or rejections. **❌ Problem** **✅ Suger Solution** AWS SaaS Listing Mistakes Auto-validates IAM roles, entitlement logic, and metering setup AWS Marketplace Pricing Errors Syncs pricing rules with AWS schema to prevent rejection Private Offer Errors Pulls contract terms from CRM/CPQ and auto-formats them for AWS Cloud Marketplace Compliance Errors Enforces metadata, tax, and legal fields before submission List of AWS EC2 Errors Flags unsupported EC2 configs, missing permissions, and bad snapshots Multi-cloud Listing Errors Creates unique templates per marketplace—no copy-paste risks Managing Marketplace Listing Errors One platform to track, resolve, and submit listings with audit history ## **Why These Listing Errors Matter** Failing to address these errors causes: - Delayed go-lives from AWS listing rejects - Lost revenue due to private offer errors - Compliance violations stemming from cloud marketplace listing errors - Missed co-sell opportunities - Duplicate work and broken buyer experiences ## Key Takeaway Avoiding AWS Marketplace listing mistakes isn’t just about compliance, it’s about speed, scale, and seamless execution.

They leverage cloud marketplaces as critical go-to-market channels, working closely with cloud provider sales teams to accelerate co-sell motions while ensuring transaction visibility across internal teams such as Sales, Ops, Deal Desk, and Finance. However, scaling cloud marketplace operations presented significant challenges. Managing listings, co-selling with AWS, Azure and GCP reps, and tracking deal flow across multiple teams required a more efficient system. We sat down with Amin Marts, Strategic Alliances & Ecosystem Leader at JumpCloud to discuss how Suger made their sales processes more efficient. ## **Challenges Before Suger: Manual Processes and Lack of Visibility** ❌ **Scalability limitations**: Managing cloud marketplaces required significant effort,making it difficult to scale without automation. ❌ **Lack of pipeline visibility**: Tracking deals and revenue impact across internal teams like Sales, Deal Desk and Finance was challenging. ❌ **Co-sell inefficiencies**: Engaging AWS, Azure and GCP sales reps to drive marketplace opportunities lacked seamless communication. ❌ **Manual deal registration**: Updating partner portals like AWS ACE, Microsoft Partner Center, and Google Cloud Partner Advantage was time-consuming and fragmented, making it difficult to maintain a unified view of co-sell activity and progress. > _“Without Suger, sharing and updating our AWS pipeline in ACE was nearly impossible. Even with AWS’s native connectors, a true bi-directional sync wasn’t available, making real-time collaboration difficult.”_ ## **Optimizing Cloud Marketplace Sales: JumpCloud’s Transformation with Suger** ✅ Co-Sell Pipeline Automation: Allowed seamless opportunity sharing and tracking with AWS, Azure and GCP reps. ✅ Salesforce Integration: Ensured internal teams had full visibility into marketplace transactions. ✅ Private Offer Management: Simplified deal execution by automating approvals and tracking within Salesforce. ✅ Data Transparency: Enabled real-time access to deal cycle insights for internal stakeholders. > _“With Suger, sellers can now upload opportunities, share them directly with AWS counterparts, and track them in real time. This has made it easier for our teams to collaborate strategically.”_ **End-to-End Impact on the Sales Process** Unlike other tools that solve only specific parts of the marketplace journey, Suger supports JumpCloud’s entire sales cycle, from pipeline management to deal execution. 🔄 Early-Stage Pipeline Sharing: Sellers can easily register and share opportunities, ensuring better co-sell alignment. ⚡ Sales Engagement & Tracking: AWS reps receive real-time updates, driving more meaningful conversations. 📊 Internal Coordination: Sales, Finance, Deal Desk, and leadership teams gain greater transparency into transaction flow. > _“Suger isn’t just useful in one stage—it impacts our entire process, from pipeline sharing to deal closure and finance tracking.”_ ## **Two Core Features That Made the Difference** 1️⃣ Suger’s Salesforce Widget: Enabled quick opportunity uploads and streamlined seller collaboration. 2️⃣ API Availability: Allowed JumpCloud to align data sources with their sales processes, ensuring better pipeline management. > _“The Sugar-Salesforce widget enables us to upload opportunities and assign. And I think that’s the first thing. The second thing is the level of the API availability to be able to align the data sources with our sales process that are relevant to how we sell.”_ ## **Impact on Sales Team Efficiency** ✅ More seamless co-sell engagement: Sellers can now independently connect with AWS counterparts without relying on alliances teams as intermediaries. ✅ Higher marketplace deal volume: Improved pipeline visibility and automation enabled JumpCloud to expand its AWS, Azure and GCP footprint. ✅ More strategic selling: Freed up sellers to focus on high-value engagements rather than manual deal registration. > _“Suger helps sellers focus on the right conversations rather than wasting time on administrative tasks. It enables us to be more strategic in our selling approach.”_ ## **The Takeaway: A Must-Have for Scaling Marketplace Sales** JumpCloud’s team reinforced the importance of having the right tooling in place to scale cloud marketplace sales.

But in practice? Most teams hit walls: unclear onboarding steps, fragmented workflows, technical lift, and scattered co-sell processes across ACE, emails, and Slack. Add in disjointed billing, reseller deals, and compliance tracking, and it gets messy really fast. That’s why the most successful teams aren’t just figuring out how to sell on AWS Marketplace—they’re automating co-selling on AWS Marketplace with tools like Suger. Whether you’re using Salesforce or HubSpot, Suger brings every Marketplace motion into one place, with full-funnel automation and AI-powered simplicity. Let’s walk through the five steps to launch successfully and scale effortlessly. ## **Step 1: Understand Why Selling on AWS Marketplace Isn’t Optional Anymore** Your customers are already on AWS. Their CFOs want consolidated billing. Their procurement teams want to pull new software into existing Enterprise Discount Programs (EDP). Their account execs want to buy from vendors they can co-sell with because AWS reps have their own quota around Marketplace private offers and Marketplace-originated revenue. That’s why ISVs, data providers, and consulting partners alike are making the shift to sell on AWS, not just as a channel, but as a core GTM motion. Studies say that, the #1 driver of Marketplace momentum is deal velocity and sellers who embrace the model are seeing 2x to 3x shorter sales cycles. > _Securiti AI saw 3X co-sell engagement and improved deal closure speed by 40% after implementing Suger within 6 months._ **Step 2: Register, But Don’t Get Stuck There** To get started as a seller on AWS Marketplace, you’ll need: - A verified AWS account - Your tax and bank info - A product that qualifies (SaaS, AMI, container, professional services, etc.) You’ll then set up your profile in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, enroll in the Amazon Partner Network (APN), and gain access to ACE (the AWS Customer Engagement portal) where co-selling happens. But let’s be real: registration is the easy part. Managing workflows post-listing is what burns teams out. This is where **Suger** flips the script. You can skip the toggling between ACE, spreadsheets, and internal Slack updates. With **native Salesforce/Hubspot integration**, everything lives in your CRM from opportunity registration, private offer creation, status updates, partner contacts, to approvals. Don’t use Salesforce/Hubspot for Marketplace? The Suger platform offers the same control, all in one place, so your teams can operate wherever they already work. > _LogicMonitor automated private offers and synced revenue data into Salesforce, reducing quote-to-cash time by 50% and eliminating sales ops bottlenecks with Suger._ ## **Step 3: Launch an AI-Powered Product Listing in Half the Time** Learning how to sell on AWS involves more than just signing up. Creating your product listing can feel like launching a second product, requiring you to: - Write compelling descriptions - Define contract models - Set up metering or entitlement APIs - Add pricing tiers, trial options, and compliance info That’s not a quick task for already-busy product, partner, engineering or ops teams. With Suger’s AI-powered listing builder, you can auto-generate key metadata, offer details, and positioning based on your website. Instead of spending weeks manually formatting your  SaaS listing, you get a launch-ready product in minutes. Marketplace success hinges on understanding the right programs, roles (like PDMs, AEs, and ISMs), and how to orchestrate your listings and offers around them. Suger automates this orchestration—no guesswork required. > _Astrix Security launched on AWS and GCP Marketplace with zero engineering lift, meeting tight deal deadlines and accelerating time-to-market with Suger._ ## **Step 4: Automate the Co-Sell Workflow from Salesforce or Suger** This is where most sellers stall. To truly **sell on AWS Marketplace** at scale, you need to: - Register deals in ACE - Collaborate with Partner Development Managers (PDMs) and AWS AEs - Track opportunity status - Coordinate Private Offers, CPPOs, reseller terms, and launch deadlines But all of that typically happens outside your CRM, creating friction between RevOps, finance, and alliances. With Suger, your co-sell workflow lives **inside Salesforce/Hubspot**. Here’s what that looks like: ✅ Automatically sync opportunities from CRM to ACE ✅ Generate Private Offers with buyer-specific terms from your opportunity record ✅ Get real-time status alerts (e.g., AWS approval, buyer acceptance, billing integration) ✅ Manage CPPOs, reseller authorization, and partner attribution ✅ Track co-sell metrics and win rates right in your dashboard You don’t need a dedicated “Marketplace operator.” Your revenue team becomes self-sufficient, with Marketplace embedded into their natural workflow. > _That’s how scale-ups like Fivetran, Vanta, Teleport and others manage hundreds of co-sell deals while staying lean._ ## **Step 5: Measure, Optimize, and Accelerate Revenue** Listing is just the beginning. Winning on AWS Marketplace means knowing: - Which [co-sell](/product-co-sell) opportunities are stuck in approvals - How Private Offers are performing - What’s driving usage, renewals, and expansion With **Suger’s metrics dashboard**, you get: - Metered billing + usage analytics (for SaaS or AMI products) - Revenue forecasting by account, offer, and cloud - Buyer behavior insights pulled from CRM + AWS data - Renewal alerts, overage notifications, and upsell signals - Finance integrations with Stripe, QuickBooks, and more Your entire Marketplace GTM : Sales, RevOps, Finance, and Partnerships runs on one system of record ## **Final Word: You Don’t Need to Navigate Marketplace Alone** Selling on AWS is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s a competitive advantage. But building the infrastructure to support it internally can stall even the most capable teams. Suger was built to eliminate that burden. It’s, - **Automating** Marketplace **workflow** - The **CRM-native Marketplace operating system** - The **automation layer for co-sell, listing, and billing** - The **AI assistant for launch and positioning** - And your **analytics engine** for revenue, renewals, and growth ## **Ready to Sell Smarter on AWS Marketplace?** 👉 [Book a demo with Suger](https://suger.io/) and see how you can go live in under two weeks with zero engineering lift, and full control from Salesforce or the Suger platform. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Multi-Currency Transactions on AWS Marketplace URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/multi-currency-transactions-on-aws-marketplace/ Type: Blog 1.

With just over 55 employees, they power robust engineering at scale while remaining lean and focused. That includes maintaining infrastructure, supporting global device fleets, and scaling enterprise operations. But like many growing B2B startups, enterprise customers began asking if Memfault could transact through AWS Marketplace. They had put off listing for a simple reason: engineering bandwidth. Their experience with AWS had shown them that even simple infrastructure changes involved long, complex setup steps and confusing documentation. So when the Marketplace listing came up, they hesitated. ### **The Trigger: Enterprise Buyers Were Asking to Purchase Through AWS** One of Memfault’s enterprise customers wanted to renew through AWS Marketplace. The request was clear. But with no listing, Memfault risked adding friction to a renewal they had already won. Memfault had a choice: assign valuable engineering hours to figure out AWS Marketplace or find a partner that could get them there fast. ### **The Solution: Launch Ready under a day and an End-to-End Live Support** Memfault turned to Suger to get listed on AWS Marketplace without launching a major internal project. Suger handled the technical setup, walked the team through every AWS detail, and provided seamless guidance throughout the process. The initial setup cost was offset by AWS credits through Suger, making the decision even more cost-effective.  Instead of becoming Marketplace experts, Memfault leaned on Suger’s dedicated Slack support and fast response times to handle any questions, setup, and validation. ### **What Suger Delivered for Memfault:** 🛠️ Zero engineering maintenance required 🧩 Marketplace listing launch-ready under 1 day ⏱️ Private offers created in under 5 minutes 🤝 Customer renewals accelerated with less procurement friction 💸 Initial cost offset by AWS credits via Suger ### **What Used to Take Weeks Now Takes Minutes** Since implementing Suger, Memfault has published private offers and transacted through AWS Marketplace with speed and clarity without involving engineers in the day-to-day. > _“Creating a private offer now takes just a few minutes. It’s a low lift on both sides.”_ Instead of chasing down procurement teams or building bespoke workflows, Memfault simply generates offers through Suger. They can track acceptances via Slack alerts and reduce email churn between sales and finance. ### **Making Enterprise Deals Easier to Close** For Memfault, listing on AWS Marketplace goes far beyond simplifying payments, it’s a strategic way to meet enterprise buyers inside their existing procurement ecosystem. When buyers already have committed AWS spend and procurement workflows set up, Marketplace becomes the path of least resistance. By transacting through AWS, Memfault avoids lengthy vendor onboarding, contract redlines, and procurement back-and-forth. Instead, customers apply the existing budget, click to accept, and the deal is done. The result? Fewer escalations, faster signatures, and a frictionless experience that supports repeatable enterprise growth. ### **In Summary: A Strategic Win, Without the Lift** For Memfault, AWS Marketplace is no longer a blocker, it’s an accelerator. With Suger, they got listed in minutes, avoided months of engineering distraction, and now close enterprise deals with less friction and more speed. > _“Having Suger be super responsive and not having to worry about interfacing with AWS directly is a huge win. We don’t want to be AWS Marketplace experts, we have other things to do.”_ Zero lift. Full control. Enterprise-ready. **Make it happen for your team.

Leading the team is Phil Simpson, who oversees strategic partnerships and drives ARR growth. Supporting the AWS relationship is Danielle Striker, who manages the operational side of cloud marketplace execution. Together, their team is responsible for navigating one of the company’s most important revenue channels: AWS Marketplace. With an ambitious go-to-market motion and a growing partner network, the team needed more than just a listings tool; they needed automation, integration, and real-time visibility. That’s where Suger came in. ## **Replacing Manual Chaos with Scalable Automation** Teleport’s partner team manages strategic relationships, channel partnerships, and cloud co-sell to support sellers and drive ARR. As cloud marketplace sales grew, the volume of manual work grew with it. The biggest bottleneck? Opportunity registration into AWS ACE. > _One of the hardest parts about working with a $100B partner like AWS is the scale. We’re a 200-person company trying to reach thousands of AWS sellers. Before Suger, we’d have to manually input every opportunity into ACE ourselves, hundreds of them._ With Suger integrated into Salesforce, the team now pushes all Stage 2 opportunities automatically into ACE. That automation not only eliminates errors, it saves the team hours of work and ensures every co-sell opportunity is captured. > _If we didn’t have a tool like Suger, I would’ve had to hire a dedicated headcount just to manage co-sell and private offer workflows. Suger saves us real money by freeing up our people to focus on revenue._ Instead of relying on ops to manually log 100+ deals, the system handles the heavy lifting in minutes, unlocking co-sell visibility at scale. ## **A Faster, More Reliable Way to Manage Private Offers** For Teleport’s sales team, private offers used to be a bottleneck. Submitting through the AWS console was manual, slow, and error-prone, especially under end-of-month pressure. Now, with Suger integrated into Salesforce, reps can generate private offers directly from the quote object, with all contract terms and details pre-filled. This speeds up execution, reduces errors, and keeps deals moving. Offer creation takes under 10 minutes, and sales gets real-time visibility into customer activity whether the offer is viewed, accepted, or stalled. Since deals aren’t marked as closed-won until customer acceptance, this visibility ensures accurate forecasting and faster follow-up. > _Before, we had to log into ACE, refresh constantly, and hope for updates. Now, Suger sends us email notifications the second the customer accepts the offer. That’s huge, especially at end-of-quarter.”_ ## **Keeping Sales, Finance, and Ops in Sync with Real-Time Visibility** Renewals and entitlement tracking used to be time-consuming and error-prone. With Suger, the team now uses entitlement search and renewal workflows to instantly surface key data: term lengths, expiration dates, and customer details without digging through ACE or Salesforce. > _“With Suger, I can search entitlements and kick off a renewal without needing to dig through ACE or Salesforce. It pulls in all the data I need: contract terms, expiration dates, customer details and gets me started in seconds.”_ This centralized visibility extends to finance too, helping them monitor collections, billing, and offer statuses without chasing down updates. > _“Finance needs to know where each offer stands, what’s collected, what’s pending, and what’s booked. With Suger, I can answer those questions on the fly. It’s all right there in the console.”_ On the sales side, reps no longer need to guess where a deal stands. They’re notified the moment an offer is viewed or accepted, enabling faster, more targeted follow-ups. This proactive insight helps push deals across the line especially during crunch time and eliminates end-of-month chaos across sales, ops, and finance. ## **Powering a Channel-First Motion Without Slowing Down Sales** As Teleport evolved into a channel-first organization, CPPO (Channel Partner Private Offers) became a cornerstone of their go-to-market. While routing deals through partners once meant added steps and friction, Suger changed that by making CPPO flows as seamless as direct ones. With just a click, sellers can toggle between direct and CPPO offers (no extra coordination or delays) ensuring partner-attached deals flow smoothly through AWS Marketplace. This flexibility allows sales to move fast while aligning with Teleport’s broader partner strategy. > _“We want as many deals as possible to go through partners. With Suger, we can toggle between direct and CPPO flows with ease. That kind of flexibility is critical to scaling our ecosystem.”_ ## **The Role of Support: Suger as an Extension of the Team** For this team, great software is only part of the equation, responsiveness matters just as much. The partnership with Suger includes a shared Slack channel where questions get answered quickly, often within minutes. When deals are stuck waiting on an accepted offer, fast help isn’t just convenient—it’s critical. With sellers pushing to book revenue before the end of a quarter, having real-time support from the Suger team keeps things moving. > _“We have a shared Slack channel with the Suger team. If I’m stuck, I drop a message, and someone gets back to me sometimes in minutes, even off hours. It feels like Suger is part of our team.”_ ## **The Bottom Line: Scalable Efficiency Across the Deal Lifecycle** Teleport didn’t bring in Suger to “do more with less”. They brought it in to help sellers close smarter, partner teams scale efficiently, and the entire revenue org stay aligned with AWS. With Suger, opportunity registration, private offers, CPPOs, and renewals are now streamlined across Salesforce. Sales/Partnerships spends less time on admin, Ops gets the data it needs, and Finance has full visibility into offer status and collections. From co-sell to close, Suger has become the engine behind Teleport’s cloud GTM efficiency. **You can make this happen for your team.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [Benefits of Investing in a Cloud GTM Platform](#benefits-of-investing-in-a-cloud-gtm-platform) - [Ready to Sell Smarter on Cloud Marketplace?](#ready-to-sell-smarter-on-cloud-marketplace) As SaaS companies increasingly tap into cloud marketplaces like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, the need to have a complete cloud go-to-market (GTM) stack has become critical. Succeeding in marketplaces today means managing product listings, integrating usage metering and billing, creating and tracking private offers, enforcing entitlement logic, automating renewals, handling notifications, and aligning data back to your CRM, all while keeping up with the evolving requirements of each cloud platform. But here’s the reality: building your own multi-cloud GTM integration, or relying solely on native marketplace connectors, is slow, costly, and unsustainable. Each cloud has its own APIs, schemas, billing models, entitlement systems, and operational workflows, meaning every new product, cloud, or listing adds another layer of rebuilds, refactors, and maintenance. If you are serious about scaling revenue through AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces, and want to automate listings, billing, metering, offers, CRM syncs, and reporting, buying a ready-to-use platform like Suger is the faster, more scalable path. In this blog, we’ll break down why building in-house slows you down, where hidden costs and bottlenecks appear, and how using Suger you can accelerate all these manual cloud GTM processes, and scale across clouds without multiplying engineering and operations effort. Let’s dive in.  Building a Cloud Marketplace In-House is So Hard Step 1: Listing Creation is Complex and Manual - Every marketplace (AWS, Azure, GCP) has different rules for listings, offers, and compliance. - Each marketplace listing requires filling out extensive features and manual configuration requirementsdetailed product descriptions, pricing models, tax/billing setup, and legal contracts. - Manual errors in listing setup can delay approvals for weeks or months. - Without guided workflows, sellers must navigate Marketplace Management Portal independently, risking configuration mistakes and rejection. ✅ Bottom Line: Setting up compliant listings across multiple marketplaces demands significant engineering effort, carries a high risk of errors, and comes with a steep learning curve. **Step 2: Metering and Billing Integration is Technically Demanding** - Metering services must accurately track usage (API calls, storage, active users) and send real-time billing data to each cloud’s billing engine. - This is the core technical task for your engineers.For example, AWS requires direct integration with the Metering Service API to sendusage data securely to AWS. This data will be used for billing. - Error handling must be robust to avoid billing discrepancies or lost revenue. - Each cloud’s billing model and API format differ, meaning metering integration must be rebuilt for every new marketplace. ✅ \*\*Bottom Line:\*\*Metering and billing are not set-and-forget. Building reliable usage tracking and billing across clouds demands specialized engineering and ongoing maintenance. Step 3: Testing and Compliance Without Support Slows Time-to-Market - Passing Marketplace standards and completing integration is a complex, seller-driven process. - Without guided workflows or direct support, sellers must independently manage testing, compliance, and issue resolution, often leading to setbacks, delayed approvals, and extended go-to-market timelines. - Feedback from Marketplace support during validation can be slow and fragmented, adding further risk to launch schedules. ✅ **Bottom Line:** Without expert guidance, marketplace testing and integration become a lengthy, manual effort, delaying revenue and product launches. Step 4: CRM and Operations Require Full Ownership Without Vendor Support - Integrating your Marketplace product with your CRM demands manual setup and configuration, without dedicated support. - Sellers must independently manage integration steps, troubleshoot compatibility issues, and invest additional resources to maintain the system. - Choosing Marketplace native CRM package also shifts full responsibility for troubleshooting, updates, and issue resolution onto your team, with no vendor support for maintenance or escalations. **✅ Bottom Line:** Without a managed solution, maintaining marketplace integrations becomes an ongoing internal burden, draining time, engineering resources, and operational efficiency. Step 5 : Private Offer Management and Reporting Lack Visibility - Managing private offers and entitlements through the Marketplace Management Portal is entirely manual. - While the portal houses raw data, it lacks user-friendly visualization, filtering, and actionable insights. - To generate useful reporting for private offers, entitlements, and deal progress, sellers must build and maintain custom reports manually in CRM, requiring ongoing admin effort and technical resources. ✅ \*\*Bottom Line:\*\*Without a purpose-built platform, private offer tracking and reporting remain fragmented, manual, and resource-intensive. Step 6 : Notifications and Event Management Are Manual and Error-Prone - Setting up notifications for Marketplace events, like private offer submissions or entitlement changes is complex and must be built manually. - Without a pre-integrated solution, customers often do not receive critical notifications automatically. - Your engineering team must custom-build, test, and maintain event handling logic internally, increasing operational overhead and risk of missed updates. ✅ Bottom Line: Without automation, managing marketplace notifications is manual, unreliable, and adds ongoing engineering burden. ## **Benefits of Investing in a Cloud GTM Platform** Feature DIY Approach Suger Expertise Requires deep MP Marketplace knowledge Pre-built expertise and experience Time to Market Can be lengthy due to custom development In less than a day, with pre-built integration Engineering Resources Requires significant engineering resources Frees up engineering resources for core product work Maintenance Ongoing maintenance responsibility on your team Platform handles updates and maintenance Additional Features (Billing) Requires custom development or integration with other tools Often included as part of the platform Business Support & Flexibility No dedicated support Scales with your GTM needs — includes flexible APIs, custom workflows, Slack integration, and ongoing expert support **Scale Cloud Revenue, Not Effort with Suger** 1. **Quick to market**Get listing ready in under a day, using AI-powered autofill 2. **Streamlined revenue recognition**Automate disbursements, renewals, and metering for accurate revenue tracking. 3. **API-first approach**Integrates with your existing CRM and automates marketplace workflows effortlessly 4. **Co-sell on auto-pilot**Share deals and sync CRM data without manual duplication or switching tabs. 5. **Simplified quote-to-cash**Create and send private offers directly from your CRM in 1-click. 6. **Advanced reporting**View all marketplace KPIs : pipeline, offers, usage  in a single dashboard. 7. **Workflows to automate what matters**Use low-code workflows to trigger actions, sync data, and connect your GTM stack without engineering support.

To fully leverage Google Cloud Marketplace, your solution must pass a series of important validation checks. Think of the Google Cloud review not as one hurdle, but as **a series of checkpoints**, covering your partnership status, technical architecture, security posture, and alignment with Google Cloud best practices. Successfully passing these validations is crucial for: - Getting your solution listed effectively on Google Cloud Marketplace. - Accessing lucrative customer spending commitments (commit drawdown). - Accelerating your deal cycles and increasing deal sizes. - Building trust with customers and Google’s sales teams. This guide breaks down what Google Cloud looks for, the value it brings to your business, the steps involved, and how this process connects to the operational efficiencies Suger provides. ## **What Does Google Cloud Check? (The “Review” Components)** 1. **Partner Advantage Program Membership**Join and maintain good standing in Google Cloud’s Partner Advantage Program, typically under the ‘Build’ track for ISVs. This is the starting point to access validation programs and resources. 2. Hosting Requirements Your solution must be primarily hosted on Google Cloud to access Marketplace benefits like commit drawdown. Your architecture should align with one of Google’s **seven approved hosting patterns**, ranging from full GCP hosting to hybrid models. 3. Solution Designations (“Ready” and “Validated”) - **Google Cloud Ready**: Awarded to solutions that meet strict integration standards with services like BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and Distributed Cloud. Requires testing by Google engineers. - **Google Cloud Validated**: A broader designation for solutions that run on or integrate with Google Cloud or Workspace. 4. Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) A mandatory third-party security review based on OWASP standards. Essential for Marketplace listings, especially for apps accessing user data. Passing CASA (often Tier 3) earns a security badge and requires annual renewal. 5. **Alignment with the Well-Architected Framework** Google evaluates whether your architecture follows best practices for security, reliability, cost optimization, performance, and operational excellence. ## **The Payoff: Why Validation Is Worth It** **1\. Unlock Full Marketplace Potential** - **Enhanced Trust**: Validation badges (‘Ready’, ‘Validated’, CASA) boost credibility and visibility on Google Cloud. - **Access Commit Drawdown**: Customers can apply 100% of their committed Google Cloud spend toward purchasing your solution. - **Faster, Bigger Deals**: Validated listings close 42% faster and achieve 32% larger deal sizes. Marketplace transactions grew 200% year-over-year in 2023. **2\. Strengthen Your Google Partnership** - **Co-Sell Readiness**: Validation signals enterprise-readiness to Google’s sales teams, improving co-sell opportunities. - **Advance in Partner Advantage**: Higher designations help you move toward Premier Partner status. **3\. Build Customer Confidence** - Validation shows customers your solution meets Google’s high standards for security and reliability, reducing risk and accelerating decisions. ## **How to Navigate the Process: Simplified Steps** **Be prepared for interaction**: Google engineers may test integrations (‘Ready’ programs ), you’ll work with third-party labs for CASA , and the Marketplace team reviews listings.  Engage with your Google Partner Manager  for guidance. ## **Staying Compliant After Validation** Validation is not one-and-done. Ongoing steps include, - **Update Listings**: Keep your Marketplace listing updated when product or organizational changes occur. - **Renew CASA Annually**: Maintain your security badge. - **Maintain Partner Program Compliance:** Meet Google’s annual program requirements. **Post-Validation: Maintaining Compliance & Operational Efficiency** While Google Cloud provides foundational tools, managing these recurring operational tasks efficiently often demands specialized solutions. This is where Suger becomes essential for SaaS providers. - Monitor GCP policy changes and keep customers informed to update SaaS listing - Syncing Marketplace activity with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot - Tracking revenue, usage, and private offers **Note** : While Suger doesn’t directly perform the Google Cloud validation reviews, it helps ensure and guide you through the process so that you can efficiently capitalize on your listing. ### **Conclusion: Validation as a Strategic Step** Passing Google Cloud’s validation review builds credibility, unlocks access to customer commit spend, accelerates deal cycles, and strengthens your partnership with Google. While the process requires diligence, the rewards in revenue growth and market reach are substantial. Ongoing operational efficiency ensures you can fully capitalize on your Marketplace presence and scale faster with confidence. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Guide to the Azure Well-Architected Review URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/guide-to-the-azure-well-architected-review-process/ Type: Blog 1.

As more customers requested to purchase through AWS, Azure and GCP, the finance and engineering teams faced growing pressure to support metered billing models and more complex listing configurations. Managing listings manually across AWS, GCP, and Azure introduced significant operational overhead. Creating custom integrations for each cloud platform meant duplicating engineering work across environments. StreamNative needed a way to consolidate, standardize, and automate billing workflows without slowing product development. ## **Solution: One Platform for Unified Billing, Metering, and Forecasting** StreamNative adopted Suger to unify its marketplace operations under a single interface. What began as a partnership to simplify AWS Marketplace listings quickly evolved into an integrated billing and entitlement system across multiple clouds. With Suger, the team could, 🔹 Automate PAYG plans and monthly commit billing 🔹 Support overage pricing models without manual metering 🔹 Set up listings on GCP without building separate billing logic 🔹 Track commissions, customer purchases, and entitlements across clouds 🔹 Push real-time billing data from internal systems to cloud marketplaces via Suger ## **Results: 4 Months of Engineering Work Saved and a Single Source of Truth for Finance** Before Suger, supporting advanced pricing and billing workflows would have required months of custom development across three clouds. By using Suger’s APIs and unified marketplace interface, StreamNative saved an estimated **4 months of engineering time** while accelerating its go-to-market strategy. **🔹 Launched GCP Marketplace in weeks** with minimal engineering effort **🔹 Implemented billing logic once**, instead of separately for AWS,GCP and Azure **🔹 Eliminated manual invoicing**, with all charges routed through cloud provider billing **🔹 Gained real-time financial visibility**, from commissions to customer usage > _“Suger saves me at least half a headcount in billing operations. It speaks the same language as finance and makes it easy to track everything in one platform.”_ ## **Impact Across Teams: Sales, Operations, Engineering, and Finance Aligned** While the sales team engages customers, Suger ensures that the downstream billing process runs smoothly. Engineers only need to push usage data to Suger not build connectors for every cloud. Finance can audit billing in real time, without chasing down operations. > _“Instead of sending billing data to three platforms, our engineers send it to Suger and Suger handles the rest. I don’t need to ask where the invoices are. I open Suger, and it’s all there, usage, contract terms, and what’s billed._ ## **Summary** Suger has become the foundation of StreamNative’s cloud marketplace billing and entitlement operations. By consolidating workflows, reducing manual processes, and supporting finance with clear visibility, Suger helps StreamNative scale its cloud GTM strategy faster and more efficiently. **You can make this happen for your team.

Start leveraging these new improvements to flexible billing today. * * * ## **FAQs** **1\. Can I purchase all products in the marketplace with a flexible billing schedule?** \-No. Flexible schedules are only available in a private offer for SaaS products with flat-rate or flat-rate with custom meters; Virtual machine software reservations; and Professional Services products **2\. Can I buy a product with quarterly billing?** \-Yes. The new capabilities enable publishers to create a Flexible schedule specifying dates and amounts to be charged. Charges could be scheduled to occur quarterly for one or more plans. **3\. How will flexible billing apply for metered billing, when future usage cost is unknown?** \-For SaaS plans with metered billing, the publisher can offer a flexible schedule for the base flat-rate price only. The Metered usage or overage charges will be calculated and billed separately each month. **4\. Can I change SaaS plans or billing schedules after the purchase?** \-Once accepted, all flexible schedules within a private offer become locked and cannot be modified. Customers would need to cancel their subscription(s) and work with the vendor to cancel the existing private offer and be provided a new private offer with updated details to accept and repurchase. **5\. When am I getting invoiced for each installment? Is it on the charge date?** No, your Azure invoicing cadence remains unchanged. The charge date in a flexible schedule determines the next invoice cycle for billing. Multiple charges within the same cycle will appear as separate line items on your Azure invoice. [Learn more about billing and invoicing.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace-offers/marketplace-commercial-transaction-capabilities-and-considerations#customer-invoicing-payment-billing-and-collections) **6\. Will the same flexible billing schedule apply to my subscription renewal in the future?** No. Since private offers with flexible schedules are highly customized, the dates and amounts associated with the schedule will not be renewed. For SaaS plans it is recommended to turn recurring billing off at the time of purchase to prevent accidental auto-renewal. Virtual Machines and Professional Services are not eligible for auto-renewal by design. Talk with your vendor to receive a new private offer for any continued usage of products and services. **7\. I already have a running SaaS service with monthly charges. I want to switch it to quarterly charges after the next renewal. What should I do?** You should talk to the publisher and ask for a private offer with a flexible schedule. After you accept the private offer, you will need to repurchase the product plan with the flexible schedule and cancel your existing monthly subscription. **8\. Will flexible billing purchases count towards my Azure consumption commitment with Microsoft (MACC)?** If the product is Azure benefit eligible a customer’s MACC will decrement by the amount of each charge upon invoice from Microsoft. See [Azure consumption commitment benefit](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/azure-consumption-commitment-benefit) for more details. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # View Marketplace Timestamps in Your Time Zone URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/local-time-zone-timestamps/ Type: Blog 1.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [Time, on your terms.](#time-on-your-terms) - [How It Works](#how-it-works) - [What’s Covered](#whats-covered) At Suger, we’re always working to make your experience smoother and more intuitive. Previously, all timestamps across the Suger Console, from offer creations to entitlement activations and transaction records were displayed in UTC. While this ensured consistency, it often made it challenging for global teams, especially within our enterprise customers, to track time-sensitive activities in real time. To better support distributed teams, we’re excited to introduce **Time Zone Selection,** allowing every user to view all timestamps in their local time for easier collaboration, faster decision-making, and greater accuracy. ## **Time, on your terms.** Managing offers, entitlements, and transactions requires precision. Knowing exactly when an offer expires or a transaction occurs is critical and doing mental math across time zones shouldn’t be part of your workflow. By letting you set your local time zone, we make it easier for you to track important events accurately and confidently, without the risk of misinterpretation. ## **How It Works** 1. **Select Your Time Zone from the Console Header** You’ll now see a time zone selector in the top-right corner of the Suger Console, next to your profile icon. - Click the time zone indicator (default is UTC) to open the dropdown menu. - Search or scroll to select your local time zone. - Your selection is instantly applied across the Console : including offer creation dates, entitlement activations, transaction records, and invoice timestamps. 🔹 **Note:** Offer creation timestamps remain in UTC to ensure backend consistency and reliable coordination across teams. 2. **See Timestamps in Your Local Time** Once set, all timestamps are displayed in your selected local time, offering a seamless experience when managing your offers, entitlements, and revenues. 3. **Smart Defaults and Persistence** - If no time zone is selected, UTC remains the default. - Once you choose a time zone, your preference is saved and will persist across sessions. ## **What’s Covered** - **Offer and Entitlement History** timestamps - **Offer, Entitlement, and Invoice Creation Dates** - ****Transaction Records**** Whether you’re activating an offer, reviewing your invoices, or tracking your entitlements, you’ll now have a clearer, localized view of exactly when key actions occurred. With Time Zone support, you can focus more on driving your business forward and less on calculating time differences. This is just one of many updates we’re rolling out to make the Suger Console even more powerful and personalized for you.

Do I need to follow up?_ Now with **Suger’s real-time offer status tracking**, sales reps can follow every deal from offer draft to acceptance, without digging through spreadsheets, emails, or AWS dashboards. ### **What is the Offer Bar?** The Offer Bar is a simple, visual progress bar that shows the **real-time status** of every offer. At a glance, you’ll know if your offer is: - **Still in Draft** – Continue editing or quickly clone a previous offer - **Created and Waiting for Buyer Action** – Follow up at the right time - **Accepted, Canceled, or Expired** – Take the next step and avoid delays ### **Dive Deeper: Offer History Timeline** Need more detail? Use the “More Info” button to **view the full history** including: - When an offer was sent - Expiration status - Any prior versions or revisions With the Suger Offer Bar, you’ll spend less time chasing status, and more time closing deals.

But in practice? Teams hit walls: lengthy onboarding cycles, engineering-heavy integration, compliance friction, and co-sell chaos across Google’s Partner Console, email threads, and spreadsheets. Add in fragmented billing, renewal ops, and disconnected CRM workflows, and it gets messy. That’s why the most successful teams aren’t just figuring out how to sell on GCP Marketplace, they’re automating GCP Marketplace GTM with Suger. Whether you’re using Salesforce or Hubspot, Suger brings every Marketplace motion into one place, with full-funnel automation and CRM-native simplicity. Let’s walk through the five steps to launch successfully and scale effortlessly. ## **Step 1: Understand Why Selling on GCP Marketplace Isn’t Optional Anymore** Your customers are already on Google Cloud. Their procurement teams want to route spend through GCP. Their finance teams want to draw down committed budgets via Marketplace. And Google Cloud AEs want to co-sell with partners listed on GCP Marketplace, because their compensation is tied to Marketplace-originated revenue. That’s why ISVs, AI startups, and enterprise SaaS vendors are making the shift to Marketplace, not as an optional channel, but as a core GTM strategy. 📊 Studies show sellers using Cloud Marketplace see up to 3x faster sales cycles. ## **Step 2: Choose the Right Product & Billing Model** To begin your journey as a GCP Marketplace seller, you’ll need to complete several foundational steps 📋 **Getting Started Checklist:** - Enroll in the **Google Partner Advantage Program** - Access the **Partner Sales Console** - Submit a **Product Idea Form** outlining your solution type - Provide your **legal business details**, including **tax and banking information** for payment processing - Accept the **Marketplace Master Agreement (MMA)** - Complete business and financial onboarding via Google Cloud Commerce Once these are complete and approved, Google will initiate technical onboarding and grant access to the Partner Portal, where you’ll manage your listing, private offers, and billing integrations. But launching your product on GCP isn’t just about approvals, it requires navigating complex schemas, API configurations, and strict metadata formatting. Many teams find themselves overwhelmed by the engineering effort required. ### **💡 That’s where Suger comes in.** With **Suger’s AI-powered listing builder**, you can bypass weeks of manual effort. It automatically, - Generates offer metadata, descriptions, and positioning directly from your website - Pre-fills schemas for pricing, plans, and entitlement models - Aligns your product with GCP Marketplace requirements - Pre-validates technical fields to accelerate review and approval Instead of spending weeks building a compliant GCP Marketplace listing, Suger helps you get launch-ready in minutes, with zero engineering lift. ## **Step 3: Complete Technical Setup and Validation** Before going live, Google requires your product to meet specific technical and compliance standards. These include: - **Identity integration** using OAuth or Account Linking - **License and entitlement configuration** to manage user access - **Usage metering** (if applicable) using Cloud Commerce Producer APIs - **Security validation** and functional testing in a staging environment This step often slows teams down due to the engineering lift and platform-specific requirements. ### **🔧 How Suger Helps** Suger makes this process faster and easier with: ✅ Pre-built templates for OAuth, metering, and entitlement APIs ✅ Validation-ready configurations aligned with GCP requirements ✅ Step-by-step launch checklists by our team of experts to avoid common blockers ## **Step 4: Launch and Co-Sell from Your CRM** Once your listing is approved, the next step is launching your offer and enabling co-sell motions with Google Cloud. This includes, - Publishing your listing on GCP Marketplace - Creating private offers with custom pricing and terms - Registering deals through the Partner Sales Console - Collaborating with Google Cloud AEs and PDMs on co-sell opportunities The problem? All of this typically lives outside your CRM, leading to manual handoffs, status silos, and misalignment across GTM teams. > _Securiti AI saw 3X co-sell engagement and improved deal closure speed by 40% after implementing Suger within 6 months_ ### **🔧 How Suger Helps** Suger brings GCP Marketplace operations directly into your CRM: ✅ Create and manage private offers from Salesforce or HubSpot ✅ Track co-sell activity, AE involvement, and deal status in one view ✅ Get Slack/email alerts for buyer acceptance, renewal triggers, and offer changes ✅ Automate referral submissions to the Partner Sales Console without toggling tools ## **Step 5: Measure, Optimize, and Grow Marketplace Revenue** Going live is just the beginning. Winning on GCP Marketplace means tracking what drives revenue, and scaling what works. To do this effectively, you need visibility into: - Private offer performance - Co-sell pipeline and AE engagement - Usage and metered billing trends - Renewal timelines and upsell signals - Forecast vs actual revenue across accounts and products Most of this data is siloed across Google portals, billing tools, and internal systems, making it hard for RevOps, sales, and finance to stay aligned. ### **📊 How Suger Helps** Suger consolidates GCP Marketplace data into a single dashboard, giving your team: ✅ Real-time metering and usage analytics ✅ Renewal and overage alerts tied to CRM workflows ✅ Revenue forecasting by offer, account, and channel ✅ Integration with Stripe, QuickBooks, and NetSuite for reconciliation ✅ Co-sell performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and scale faster ## **Why Top SaaS Teams Choose Suger for GCP Marketplace** Suger eliminates the overhead of Marketplace operations: ✅ Go live in <2 weeks ✅ Zero engineering lift ✅ Integrate GCP co-sell workflows with your CRM ✅ Automate metering and billing ✅ Get Slack/email alerts for renewals, usage spikes, and offer actions Whether you’re launching your first listing or managing GCP offers at scale, **Suger helps you sell smarter, not harder**. ## **Ready to Get Listed?** Google Cloud Marketplace opens the door to faster deal cycles, larger buyers, and simplified procurement, but only if your team can move fast. With Suger, **you can**. 👉 [Book a demo](https://suger.io/) and get listed on GCP Marketplace, fast, automated, and CRM-native. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Suger x Sela: Cloud Marketplace Partnership URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/suger-sela-cloud-partnership/ Type: Blog 1.

They needed a strong go-to-market (GTM) strategy, co-sell alignment with AWS, and purpose-built sales materials to support the field. That’s where Suger and our trusted partner, [CloudAtlas](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cloudatlaspro/), stepped in. > “For any ISV new to the marketplace, my advice is clear: don’t go it alone.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Cloud marketplaces like AWS, Azure, and GCP are no longer just procurement gateways, they’re high-speed sales channels. And sales leaders are taking notice. With cloud software spend projected to reach $1.6 trillion (Goldman Sachs) and 40% of enterprise buyers locked into multi-year cloud commitments, buyers are actively looking to spend through the cloud. Marketplaces offer speed, budget flexibility, and procurement simplicity, and sellers who meet buyers there close faster, more often. But there’s a gap between early marketplace wins and a repeatable motion. For most sales teams, what starts as momentum often gets stuck in manual steps and cross-functional bottlenecks. ![Screenshot 2025-05-21 at 8.04.11 PM](/blog/migrated/e1188001ca080554.png?v=2026-05-12) **Where the Friction Begins** Teams often start strong, ✅ A buyer wants to use AWS credits ✅ A cloud rep offers to co-sell ✅ The deal closes quickly Then come the issues, ⚠️ Deal registration gets stuck in partner portals ⚠️ Reps rely on alliances or ops to move deals forward ⚠️ Offers are delayed due to approvals or formatting ⚠️ No real-time visibility means missed follow-ups ⚠️ Pipeline is fragmented across clouds, teams, and tools What could be a high-yield channel turns into a slow-moving, inconsistent process. **The Fix: Sell From the CRM** Sales teams need more than cloud participation, they need control and visibility. The most effective organizations are bringing marketplace workflows inside their CRM. With a **CRM-first, seller-led motion**, reps can: - Register deals to AWS ACE, Azure, or GCP from Salesforce or HubSpot - Generate private offers from existing quotes in one click - Track buyer engagement (offer viewed, accepted, etc.) in real time - Tie MP-influenced revenue to pipeline, forecast, and quota - Avoid switching between portals, spreadsheets, and Slack This isn’t just automation, it’s alignment. Sales, partnerships, finance, and RevOps all operate from the same system of record. **When to Automate Marketplace Selling** You don’t need to automate everything. But here’s when sales leaders should make the switch, - Marketplace deals are closing, but registration or offer creation delays are causing friction - Buyers want to spend cloud credits (EDPs) and need fast routing - Cloud reps are engaged, but updates fall through the cracks - Leadership can’t track cloud revenue or see attribution in CRM These moments signal the need to shift from reactive execution to scalable infrastructure. **How to Make Marketplace Selling Scalable** To make marketplace selling scalable and predictable,  ✅ Embed co-sell registration and offer creation into CRM workflows  ✅ Train reps to self-serve instead of relying on alliances or ops  ✅ Track real-time status of offers and deal progression  ✅ Align with RevOps to connect marketplace revenue to quotas  ✅ Incentivize sellers with comp-neutral or accelerated plans  ✅ Ensure entitlement and usage sync to finance for clean billing and reporting This transforms marketplace selling from a workaround into a repeatable, high-yield motion. **Make Marketplace Selling a Team Sport** Cloud deals aren’t just sales-led, they’re cross-functional. ![ChatGPT Image May 21, 2025, 08\_20\_50 PM](/blog/migrated/f07e9583b3fc5de9.png?v=2026-05-12) Leaders get a real-time view of MP-influenced pipeline and performance.

As their cloud partnerships expanded across AWS and GCP, they turned to Suger to avoid the common integration pitfalls, and to manage their GTM with agility and scale. Instead of building internal tooling or leaning on engineering teams, SuperAnnotate relied on Suger to simplify deal registration, automate private offers, and deliver the marketplace visibility their finance and GTM teams needed. ## **Challenge #1: Expanding to GCP Without Engineering Help** SuperAnnotate recently closed its first GCP private offer using Suger’s listing support. GCP validation was strict, but the Suger team guided SuperAnnotate through listing structure, pricing metrics, and entitlement configuration. > _“At my last startup, we tried building GCP integration ourselves. It was frustrating, slow, and never fully worked. I was thrilled to skip all of that here.”_ ## **Challenge #2: Registering Deals Manually Wasn’t Scalable** Before Suger, deal registration in AWS APN involved logging into portals, manually copying contact info, and typing in every field. Adam Smith had experienced this firsthand at a previous company, and was relieved not to repeat the same at SuperAnnotate. ## **Solution: Registering Deals in Seconds via HubSpot + Suger Integration** Today, SuperAnnotate registers deals through Suger’s built-in HubSpot connector. He searches for an opportunity, selects it, and hits register. Contact info, company details, and deal fields are auto-filled from CRM, and deal stage tracking updates automatically. ### **Impact:** - **70–80% fewer manual steps** for registering deals - **<60 seconds** to register a deal vs. 5–10 minutes manually - **Zero** APN portal logins required - **Full CRM field sync** from HubSpot to Suger > _“I don’t even remember what it’s like to log into the APN portal. This integration handles everything.”_ ## **Challenge #3: Private Offer Creation Required Rework and Guidance** When closing their first AWS marketplace deal, a six-figure upsell, SuperAnnotate faced an unfamiliar flow that included changing billing terms. Without a streamlined process, mistakes could slow the close. ### **Solution: Flexible Offer Creation and Easy Amendment Support** Using Suger, SuperAnnotate quickly corrected the initial submission and sent a revised offer within minutes. Whether adjusting billing to quarterly or issuing co-term upsells, the process became fast and error-tolerant. > _“Once I understood the flow, it took me 10 minutes to send a clean, corrected offer. Without Suger, that would’ve meant spreadsheets and support tickets.”_ ### **Impact:** - **80% faster** offer creation and re-submission - **10 minutes** to finalize and send the six-figure GCP private offer - Support for billing change workflows (e.g., co-term, quarterly) - Reduced offer rework and dependencies on external teams ## **Challenge #4: Finance Had No Systematic View Into Disbursements** Revenue recognition and payout tracking were hard to align across teams. The finance team lacked real-time visibility into when a deal was accepted or when AWS issued disbursements. ## **Solution: Slack-Based Alerts and Email Triggers for Finance** Suger’s Slack alerts notify the finance team when deals close and payouts are triggered. Revenue operations no longer rely on pinging Partnerships, and Adam doesn’t have to field one-off questions. > _“The automated notifications removed me as the middleman. Finance gets what they need, instantly.”_ ## **Impact:** - **70% faster** revenue signal delivery to Finance - Eliminated weekly finance check-ins - Email alerts for offer acceptance and disbursement - Enabled self-service tracking for accounts payable ## **Automation That Drive Efficiency Across Teams** - **HubSpot → Suger Deal Registration**  ➜ 70–80% fewer manual steps - **Offer Alerts via Email/Slack for Finance Teams**  ➜ 70% faster visibility into payments - **Entitlement + Billing Updates**  ➜ Seamless amendment handling without engineering help ## Final Takeaway Suger helped SuperAnnotate automate deal registration, accelerate private offers, and give Finance real-time visibility, without engineering lift. ![Frame (2)](/blog/migrated/836bc475a50900bd.png?v=2026-05-12) You can make this happen for your team.

But like a lot of companies, they also knew that just _knowing_ that wasn’t enough. “After multiple unsuccessful attempts to get listed on the AWS Marketplace ourselves, we turned to Suger.io. Within just a few days, they successfully listed our product.,” said **Manish**, CEO of Datasparc. “Suger.io has been an exceptional partner, not only facilitating our AWS listing but also actively guiding us on strategies to gain more traction and drive business through AWS. They are truly a valuable partner to work with.” What they did have was a clear goal: make DBHawk, their secure browser-based platform for data access and governance, available on AWS Marketplace - and build a go-to-market motion that could scale with it. That’s where Suger and Fractivo came in. * * * ## **Starting from Zero (But Not Alone)** Datasparc wasn’t starting from scratch in the market. Their flagship product, **DBHawk**, was already used by compliance-driven customers like the **U.S. Federal Reserve** and **Government of Ontario**. But AWS Marketplace? That was a new play entirely. They weren’t sure how to: - List or price a cloud offer the right way - Navigate AWS’s co-sell programs or incentives - Build the kind of messaging that would land with cloud field sellers - Or get in front of public sector buyers moving to GovCloud It was clear they didn’t need more theory - they needed execution. So they joined a funded onboarding program powered by **Suger.io** and led by **Fractivo**, designed to get high-potential ISVs into AWS Marketplace with real traction and repeatability. * * * ## **Fast Launches, Not Just Listings** Within a few weeks: - **Fractivo** mapped out their AWS partner maturity, developed buyer-aligned messaging, and coached them through co-sell fundamentals. - **Suger** powered the actual listing - providing the tech to manage metering, trials, and CRM integration, and removing all the typical operational drag. The listing went live with a **30-day free trial**, creating a low-friction entry point for new buyers. Within 30 days of that launch? They closed their first AWS Marketplace transaction. “It wasn’t just about getting live - it was about getting traction. The trial made it easier for buyers to say yes, and the visibility into performance gave us confidence we could scale it.” * * * ## **More Than a One-and-Done Listing** With the basics in place, Datasparc is already looking ahead: - They’re preparing for **ISV Accelerate** - AWS’s top-tier co-sell program - Exploring **AWS GovCloud** and **GSCA** pathways for deeper public sector reach - Building the right content and campaigns to support field sellers - And, most importantly, turning what used to be a black box into a revenue channel they understand and own * * * ## **Why It Worked** This wasn’t a generic “lift and shift” cloud story. It worked because: ✅ The **messaging matched** the reality of AWS buyers - compliance-first, security-minded, and looking for fast starts ✅ The **tech stack (Suger)** removed blockers instead of adding new ones ✅ The **support (Fractivo)** focused on outcomes, not just onboarding And it was funded, so they didn’t spend months justifying the move before seeing ROI. * * * ## **TL;DR** If you’re a software company sitting on a product that would _clearly_ sell through AWS Marketplace - but you don’t know where to start - take a page out of Datasparc’s playbook. You don’t need a massive team. You don’t need a six-month roadmap. You just need the right partners - and a clear path to revenue. * * * **Suger** helps software companies go live faster and grow smarter on cloud marketplaces. **Fractivo** helps them turn cloud partner strategies into real-world pipeline. **Datasparc:** Simplify database management with DBHawk, the all-in-one web-based platform offering secure access to SQL, NoSQL, and Cloud databases through a unified IDE. **→ Want help launching your listing or unlocking co-sell?** Let’s talk. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Fireblocks Scales Co-Sell 3x, Cuts Offer Time 70% URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/fireblocks-scales-co-sell-3x-and-cuts-offer-time-70-with-suger/ Type: Blog 1.

Sellers now create co-sell records directly in Salesforce, and Suger automatically syncs them with Cloud CRM portals—no duplicate entry, errors, or delay. **Impact:** - **300% increase** in launched co-sell opportunities YoY within 3 months of go-live - **95% reduction** in registration time (from ~7 minutes to under 20 seconds) - **Co-sell velocity scaled** from ~5 launched ops/quarter to 20–30 per quarter > _“As soon as Suger went live, we cleared our backlog.  It was like unclogging a pipe.”_ ## **Challenge #2: Private Offer Creation Was Manual and Error-Prone** Fireblocks’ private offer process involved extensive coordination between  Sales, Alliances, and Deal Desk.  Every offer was a multi-step, manual task, prone to risk of error due to the requirement to leverage multiple different Marketplace consoles depending on the cloud provider used. > “_We were having to bridge the gap between Marketplace and our Salesforce manually.  Sales visibility of offer status was poor, processing time was slow due to the need to use different Marketplace consoles, and it pulled senior people into low-leverage work._” ### **Solution: One-Click Private Offers and Workflow Handoff** Suger turned a multi-step process into a 1-click Salesforce action.  Private offers are now created from CRM data with predefined rules, synced automatically with the appropriate marketplace, and tracked across stages.  Slack notifications update stakeholders on entitlement, approval, and disbursement. Crucially, the deployment of Suger has supported a strategic shift  of marketplace operations from Alliances to Deal Desk, freeing up capacity in the former to focus on co-sell **Impact:** - **80% reduction** in private offer processing time - Full handoff to Deal Desk > “_It went from being a heavy lift to a light-touch process that has allowed us to consolidate private offers into one consolidated operational process_.” ## **Challenge #3: Finance Had No Real-Time View of Marketplace Revenue** Once offers were accepted or transactions closed, there was no real-time insight into disbursements or entitlement activity, with the Finance team required to perform periodic reviews via the Marketplace consoles. > “_The team had poor visibility of disbursement data and the requirement to periodically check this in three different Marketplace consoles led to inefficiencies in our Accounts Receivable operations_” ### **Solution: Slack Alerts and Financial Signal Sync** Suger introduced Slack-based alerts triggered by disbursements and entitlement changes.  It also syncs marketplace status back into Salesforce, giving Finance and RevOps a unified and consistent view of this data. ### **Impact:** - Instant disbursement visibility for Finance - Manual reconciliation steps flagged in real time - Improved confidence in partner revenue reporting > “_Now, Finance gets notified the moment a disbursement hits.  We’ve eliminated the information lag_.” ## **Automated Workflows That Saved Hours Every Week** Suger eliminated manual follow-ups by automating key marketplace signals: - **Entitlement Alerts** — Slack alerts notify teams instantly when offers are accepted ➜ 80–90% less manual coordination - **Disbursement Notifications** — Finance gets real-time alerts when payments hit ➜ 70% faster reconciliation - **Salesforce Status Sync —** Entitlements and offers update automatically ➜ 0 hours/week on manual tracking ## **Final Takeaway** If you’re struggling to scale co-sell and cloud marketplace revenue, Suger can help you get there faster, with less friction, less effort, and full CRM integration. ![Testimonials #2\_ Panther Labs - Andrew Dooley (1)](/blog/migrated/1f15f7a6f33a1bd9.png?v=2026-05-12) ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # More Flexibility for GCP Marketplace Offers URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/product-update-for-gcp-marketplace/ Type: Blog 1.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [Why Private Offer Acceptance Counts as a Signature](#why-private-offer-acceptance-counts-as-a-signature) - [When Signatures Are Still Requested](#when-signatures-are-still-requested) - [A Simple Decision Framework](#a-simple-decision-framework) - [Best Practices](#best-practices) If your company sells through AWS, Azure, or GCP marketplaces, you’ve probably hit this roadblock: the deal’s closed, the private offer is accepted… and then finance or legal asks, _“Can we get a signed contract too?”_ Here’s the short answer: You usually don’t need a separate signature—private offer acceptance acts as a legally binding digital signature. But some legal/finance teams still require it for policy or risk tolerance reasons. Let’s break down when you should—and shouldn’t—bother with signatures. ## **Why Private Offer Acceptance Counts as a Signature** When a buyer accepts a private offer on AWS, Azure, or GCP, they agree to the marketplace’s standard terms or the custom terms you’ve uploaded. This acceptance is digitally logged and **serves the same legal purpose as a wet or e-signature.** - **AWS Standard Contract:** [View here](https://d7umqicpi7263.cloudfront.net/eula/lJ5Dcm2p-cVioqTyAE2Wx6-MlqisHgCBt53CJuaOyJY) - **Azure Standard Contract:** [View here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2041178) - **GCP Standard Contract:** [View here](https://cloud.google.com/terms/marketplace/launcher?hl=en_US&_gl=1*tvwp7d*_ga*MTc5MTM1Mjc3NC4xNzUxMzcyMjAy*_ga_WH2QY8WWF5*czE3NTQ2OTAyMjkkbzk4JGcxJHQxNzU0NjkwMjU0JGozNSRsMCRoMA) If your deal uses these standard terms, the digital acceptance is generally sufficient. ## **When Signatures Are Still Requested** Even though they aren’t legally required, signatures are often requested when: 1. Deal size exceeds an internal threshold (e.g., $20K, $50K, $100K+) 2. Custom contract terms are negotiated outside the hyperscaler standard agreement 3. Finance needs it for audit trail or compliance — common in public companies 4. Legal policy defaults to “sign everything” — even marketplace deals Additionally, Purchase Order (PO) management features can help simplify procurement and manage invoices. While a PO isn’t a traditional signature, it represents a formal agreement to purchase and helps track transactions. So, while not a signature, a PO can still serve as a legally binding document to finalize the purchase process. ## **A Simple Decision Framework** Use this quick test to decide if a signature is needed: Scenario Signature Required? Standard marketplace contract, deal under $20,000 ❌ No Standard contract, deal over $20,000 ⚠️ Potentially — consult finance Custom contract uploaded to marketplace ✅ Yes Buyer’s legal counsel necessitates ✅ Yes ## **Best Practices** - Ask early if the buyer’s finance/legal teams will require a signature - Leverage marketplace digital acceptance to speed up closing - Have a lightweight order form template ready for buyers who insist on signatures - Educate your internal finance/legal teams — share this guide and linked contracts ### **Bottom Line** If you’re selling through cloud marketplaces and using standard contracts, the offer acceptance is already a legally binding signature. Anything beyond that is about internal comfort levels—not legal necessity. And remember that Purchase Orders (POs) can also formalize the agreement without requiring traditional signatures. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # FusionAuth Scales to 300 AWS Co-Sell Referrals URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/fusionauth-scales-to-300-referrals-submits-5x-faster-with-suger/ Type: Blog 1.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [Why Marketplaces](#cloud-marketplaces-as-a-growth-driver) - [Before Suger](#life-before-suger) - [Why Suger](#why-they-chose-suger) - [Using Suger](#using-suger) - [Results](#results--impact) - [What's Next](#looking-ahead-with-suger) **SMB seller | SaaS product | Engineering buyers** [FusionAuth](https://fusionauth.io/) is a developer-focused platform for customer authentication — a robust alternative to Auth0, AWS Cognito, and homegrown Auth services — trusted by over 10 million developers. Lean at 60 employees but operating like a global startup, it serves engineering leaders at organizations of every size, including NRG, Mayo Clinic, and Culture Amp. * * * ## Cloud Marketplaces as a Growth Driver [Aaron Verstraete, Head of Partnerships](https://www.linkedin.com/in/averstraete/), notes that co-selling through cloud marketplaces has proven to be a powerful growth engine for technical products like FusionAuth. AWS Marketplace is the current priority, with expansion into GCP, systems integrators (SIs), and technology partners fueling the next phase of scale. > _“Suger has been a game-changer — it gave us the ability to scale AWS co-sell from zero to hundreds of referrals without adding headcount.”_ ## Life Before Suger Before adopting Suger, FusionAuth’s partner operations were entirely manual, with no integrations to connect systems or automate workflows. AWS Marketplace’s growing subsidies made it an attractive channel — but without the right tools, scaling was difficult. Key Challenges  - **Time-draining manual data entry:** Copy-pasting data into AWS co-sell forms consumed hours. - **Data accuracy issues:** Marketplace integration gaps created inconsistencies. > _“Cloud marketplaces were a huge opportunity, but without the right tool, we were stuck in spreadsheets and manual data entry — it just wasn’t scalable.”_ ## Why They Chose Suger Aaron first heard about Suger during a chance encounter at an AWS re:Invent happy hour. An AWS executive introduced him to Suger’s CEO, Jon. At the time, Aaron’s company already had a tool in place, but the conversation stuck with him. Over nine years, Aaron had tried multiple alternatives: - **DIY solution**: A horrible experience he never wanted to repeat. - **Tackle**: Initially overpriced; even after a pricing drop, still too complex. - **iToc**: Quick and dirty, but ultimately insufficient. When he joined FusionAuth, Aaron knew those past tools wouldn’t cut it. > _“I wanted the right tooling to scale faster, knowing past solutions wouldn’t cut it. Suger offered a true partnership and a platform focused on my core use cases — without unnecessary complexity or cost.”_ Why Suger Won - **Customer success:** Strong onboarding, fast support, and a true partner approach. - **Pricing:** No revenue-share; aligned with AWS subsidies to invest earlier and prove ROI quickly. - **Product quality:** Simplified and focused on core workflows — creating offers and sharing referrals — without feature bloat. ## Using Suger From day one, Suger integrated directly into FusionAuth’s existing systems like Salesforce, eliminating manual steps and improving accuracy. > _“Suger lived up to all the promises in the sales cycle—customer engagement, efficiencies gained, and well-built features.”_ **Best Custom Workflow Automations** - **Attach invoices and EULAs** to Salesforce opportunities for visibility into billing cadence (quarterly vs. annual). ![Screenshot 2025-08-13 at 12.22.49 PM-1](/blog/migrated/6aa5bf7607c73ab3.png?v=2026-05-12) - **Auto-sync AWS contacts** to Salesforce when referrals are approved, improving CRM hygiene and enabling AWS rep attribution to pipeline and revenue. - **Referral auto-enrichment** to fill in missing required outbound referral fields — company name, website, address, industry, employee count, and contact phone. - Plans to add finance and accounting workflows as new system integrations go live. **Top Features** - **Salesforce integration:** Enables referrals and private offers to be submitted from the UI with real Salesforce data, making the process faster and more accurate. Key deal data — like Marketplace Engagement Score — is visible to reps, increasing self-sufficiency and enabling richer reporting directly in Salesforce. - **Offer notifications:** Sends timely alerts for created, accepted, and expired offers, making it easier to track deal progress, keep communications timely, and prevent anything from slipping through the cracks. - **Customer success:** A highly responsive and collaborative team that acts as a true partner — getting FusionAuth set up fast, resolving issues quickly, and working closely on innovative features that address real-world needs. ## Results & Impact Suger enabled FusionAuth to go live on AWS Marketplace within three weeks of signing up. From zero co-sell referrals, they scaled to 300 in just three quarters. Referral submissions are now five times faster and higher in quality — enabling Aaron to submit more in less time. > _“I submitted 25 referrals in 30 minutes the other day. Before Suger, that would’ve taken hours.”_ **Impact Highlights** - 300 AWS co-sell referrals in three quarters (from 0 pre-Suger). - 5× faster referral submissions at higher quality. - 100% of referrals enriched automatically — previously a manual process. ## Looking Ahead with Suger FusionAuth is optimistic about the future of cloud marketplaces and the role Suger can play in driving growth. The team sees potential in new AI capabilities leveraging CRM context — from opportunities to activities — to make co-sell workflows even faster and more accurate. They also see promise in a growing Suger partner community, where insights from transactions could help connect ISVs, SIs, and other relevant partners. By making these connections easier and more data-driven, the ecosystem could become an even greater driver of discovery and revenue opportunities. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # How Glean Expands Co-Sell Pipeline with Suger URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/glean-expands-co-sell-pipeline-and-automates-operations-with-suger/ Type: Blog 1.

Today, a significant share of opportunities are co-sold with AWS or GCP — and nearly all are eligible thanks to the platform’s deployment on both clouds. The Cloud Partner team builds and sustains strategic relationships with providers, driving joint go-to-market efforts that accelerate, expand, and unblock deals. By aligning with hyperscalers on internal generative AI workloads, Glean taps into a motion that is both natural and high-priority for customers. > _“Cloud providers are one of our most important GTM partners — teaming up with them allows us to meet customers where they are and accelerate adoption of Glean on their preferred infrastructure.”_ ## **Life Before Suger** Before Suger, the team relied on manual processes that required updating five or more different tools, taking time away from driving co-sell activity. Uploading opportunities in ACE and Partner Advantage alone took over five minutes each, plus additional manual work to update opportunities in cloud provider pipeline management tools. Enablement status was tracked in inconsistent spreadsheets, pipeline tracking lived in shared docs, and deal registration and revenue attribution were handled in separate systems. Integrations were DIY with manual handoffs, making alignment difficult, wasting time on low-value tasks, and leading to missed partnership opportunities. > _“We were spending too much time updating disparate systems when we could have been progressing and or sourcing more deals. Manual processes slowed us down and took the team away from additional enablement and alignment activity.”_ Key Challenges - **Disparate tools**  — critical activities were split across multiple tools and disconnected systems, making it hard to get a unified view - **Manual overhead** — Repetitive admin work slowed partnership progress and increased the risk of errors. - **Coordination gaps** — Internal teams and external partners struggled to stay aligned. ## **Why They Chose Suger** At prior companies, the team had tried other competitive solutions, which were overpriced and fell short of the promised experience — both around co-sell and private offer functionality. Because of this, they knew they needed to find another solution that actually worked. They first learned about Suger from a trusted peer in the Cloud Alliance Community, who mentioned it was purpose-built for cloud partnership automation. Why Suger stood out 1. **It delivers on its promise** — a rarity among software vendors. 2. **Integrations and workflow automation** — directly addressing operational bottlenecks. It replaced a patchwork of spreadsheets, CRM plug-ins, and manual processes with a single integrated platform designed specifically for partnership teams. > _“We needed something built for how partnership teams actually work — Suger checked every box.”_ ## **Using Suger** Suger is now embedded in Glean’s core partnership workflow, integrating directly into the tech stack and automating critical steps in the co-sell process. ### **Integrations** - **AWS** – Marketplace and co-sell opportunity automation - **GCP** – Marketplace and Partner Advantage integration - **Salesforce** – Native opportunity, CPQ, and entitlement workflows - **Slack** – Real-time updates to keep teams aligned ### **Best Workflows & Automations** - **Private offer auto-population** — Auto-populates CPQ data when creating private offers directly from Salesforce opportunities, streamlining the process and derisking manual errors. - **CPPO entitlement automation** — Automatically attaches entitlement invoices and EULAs to Salesforce opportunities, notifying the back-office team to progress the deal to “Closed Won”. ![CPPO entitlement automation](/blog/migrated/dc9363fb6c0aa56c.png?v=2026-05-12) - **Direct PO entitlement automation** — Automatically attaches entitlement invoices to Salesforce opportunities, notifying the back-office team to progress the deal to “Closed Won” while saving time and reducing errors. ![Direct PO entitlement automation](/blog/migrated/5842e4c3d64006d3.png?v=2026-05-12) - **Referral auto-population** — Auto-populates select SFDC opp fields when sharing referrals with AWS or GCP Pipeline Mgmt tools from Salesforce opportunities, reducing the process to just three clicks. - **Referral auto-linking** — Automatically links referrals to offers once accepted by the buyer, eliminating manual linking. - **AWS contact sync** — Auto-syncs AWS contacts to Salesforce when referrals are approved, improving CRM hygiene and enabling AWS rep attribution to pipeline and revenue. - **Referral auto-enrichment** — Fills in missing outbound referral fields like company name, website, address, industry, employee count, and phone. - **Opportunity stage sync** — Maps Salesforce stages to ACE stages and automatically syncs stages as SFDC opp progresses, allowing AWS Strategic Ops teams to highlight deals that progress, keeping AWS reps informed/engaged. - **Connected workflow automation** — Logs and tracks deal registration, enablement steps, and partner communications in one place. Sends real-time alerts and automates reporting, freeing the team from manual updates and invoice filing so they can focus on strategic initiatives. > _“The automation we’ve built into our referral and offer process has saved countless hours and eliminated repetitive, error-prone steps.”_ ### **Top Attributes** The team highlights several Suger capabilities as game-changers: - **Seamless CRM integration** — No more double entry or missing deal info. Opportunities can be shared directly from Salesforce to AWS, with stages synced automatically. Private offers can be created in just a few clicks. - **Real-time notifications** — Real-time deal creation and acceptance email and Slack alerts keep the team aligned - **Unified dashboard** — A single view of outcomes across hyperscaler marketplaces, making it easy to measure results and performance. - **Pipeline visibility** — Real-time insight into co-sell pipeline, revenue attribution, and partner health in one place. - **Streamlined co-sell sharing** — Direct Salesforce sharing eliminates the old copy-paste process from Slack, email, and CRM to fill hyperscaler fields. > _“Suger built an end-to-end solution that supports every team and every step of the process. It gives us full visibility into our pipeline while dramatically reducing admin work.”_ ## **Results & Impact** Suger has contributed to every closed/won opportunity through a cloud marketplace and a significant share of co-sell wins that went direct or through channel partners. The platform has enabled Glean to scale its partnering program without adding manual overhead, supporting more deals, and driving greater revenue through cloud marketplaces. **Impact Highlights** - **Increased co-sell pipeline growth** — Seamless sharing of opportunities to ACE, and soon Partner Advantage, without manual effort. - **Higher deal registration accuracy** — Standardized field mapping improves CRM hygiene and ensures consistent, high-quality context is sent to cloud counterparts. - **Better alignment with cloud providers** — PTB scoring identifies the customer’s preferred cloud, helping reps align with the right hyperscaler and avoid competitive scenarios. - **Faster invoicing and attribution** — Tighter invoicing cycles and automated attribution improve forecasting and accelerate quarterly close. > _“Every cloud marketplace deal we’ve closed in the last year has had Suger in the mix. We’ve significantly increased our co-sell pipeline without adding headcount.”_ ## **Looking Ahead with Suger** Glean sees continued opportunity to strengthen its cloud marketplace operations with Suger. The team is particularly interested in deeper integrations with hyperscaler funding portals to streamline deal support and incentive management. They also value seeing continued advancements in Salesforce reporting capabilities, which provide richer visibility into pipeline performance and partner engagement. These improvements will help further optimize workflows and drive greater efficiency across their co-sell motions. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Product Updates: August 2025 URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/product-updates-august-2025/ Type: Blog 1.

This improves reporting accuracy and streamlines attribution so finance, sales, and operations are working from the same source of truth. ![Suger Salesforce table view with new sortable and filterable columns for marketplace listings](/blog/migrated/1aa5897cf50336ad.png?v=2026-05-12) With the **Sales Rep column**, you can reference AWS reps you’ve worked with on prior deals when reaching out to contacts—for example: _“I saw you’re connected with Ben—we worked with him on deals like Glean and Intel.”_ This column also improves AWS rep attribution in reporting. ![Suger Salesforce reporting view showing cross-cloud revenue breakdown with date and product filters](/blog/migrated/8f81204167b91ef8.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **Reseller CPPOs in Salesforce** Resellers can now create and manage AWS Channel Partner Private Offers (CPPOs) directly from resale authorizations in Salesforce. This removes the need to switch between portals, keeping the entire process inside existing opportunity records and workflows. The result: faster, simpler, and more scalable reseller-led marketplace transactions. ![Reseller CPPO management screen in Salesforce — selecting the partner, setting wholesale price, and routing the offer](/blog/migrated/69b089c69d919ca0.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **AWS Referral-to-Opportunity Linking** Connecting inbound AWS referrals to your sales pipeline is now seamless. Once a referral is accepted, you can link it to an existing Salesforce account or opportunity. You can also create a new one directly from the referral detail page and automatically link it to the referral. This ensures referrals flow smoothly into your pipeline, reduces manual work, and keeps CRM records accurate and aligned. ![AWS ACE referral linked to the matching Salesforce opportunity inside Suger, with side-by-side fields](/blog/migrated/a8b477af4a1d093f.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **Entitlement-to-Opportunity Linking** You can now link individual entitlements directly to Salesforce Opportunities or HubSpot Deals from the Suger Console, with full visibility in your CRM. For customers managing multiple entitlements from a single public offer, this provides granular control and clarity. Every entitlement can be tied to the right deal, ensuring clean records, accurate forecasts, and a stronger connection between marketplace activity and your sales pipeline. ![Marketplace entitlement card linked to its source opportunity in Suger for closed-loop revenue reporting](/blog/migrated/d8fd17929c114c05.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **More Updates** ### **Console** - New login page design - Support 8-decimal precision for AWS usage pricing - Show calculated total when creating Azure private offers with flexible billing - Refactored Settings page (part 1) - Allow setting AWS private offer expiration to today’s date - Support syncing multiple entitlements from AWS - Choose single or multiple dimensions when creating SaaS contract pricing ### **Salesforce** - Create Azure professional service offers - Updated referral types to distinguish inbound vs. outbound (AWS, Azure, GCP) - Updated Azure solution area & play picklists for outbound referrals - Added Azure flexible total amount label ### **Hubspot** - New entitlements tab in HubSpot panel - Edit entitlements directly - Clone offers - Link CRM Opportunity ID when editing offer info ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Suger Passes $6B in Cloud Marketplace Volume URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/suger-surpasses-6-billion-in-cloud-marketplace-transactions/ Type: Blog 1.

The company helps customers scale, improve security, and optimize cloud spend across industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. ## **Cloudelligent | Top AWS Cloud Solution Provider** ## **Cloud Marketplaces as a Growth Driver** [Zahra Parvaiz, Alliance Lead](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zahra-parvaiz-70b436196/) views AWS Marketplace and the AWS Partner Network as core growth levers for Cloudelligent. These programs make it easier for customers to adopt solutions quickly while unlocking funding and incentives that accelerate co-sell activity. The Alliance team builds and sustains relationships with AWS stakeholders, ensuring alignment on customer priorities and driving joint go-to-market efforts across industries. This collaboration helps Cloudelligent accelerate, expand, and unblock opportunities that might otherwise take longer to close. > “With Suger, we generate CPPOs in just a few clicks, track their status in reporting dashboards, and link them directly to HubSpot deals — saving our team significant time and effort.” ## **Life Before Suger** Before adopting Suger, the co-sell process was manual and time-consuming. Each opportunity required duplicate entry into HubSpot and AWS’s ACE portal, often taking 20–30 minutes per deal. Important details could be missed, creating delays or rejections that slowed momentum. Pipeline tracking was handled in spreadsheets and shared documents, making it hard to get a reliable view across systems. As volume increased, these inefficiencies became a bottleneck. > “Manually entering opportunities into multiple systems was draining productivity and risky. We were spending more time fixing records than advancing deals.” #### Key Challenges - **Disparate tools** — Data scattered across HubSpot, ACE, and shared sheets and docs - **Manual overhead** — 20–30 minutes of repetitive updates per submission - **Coordination gaps** — Internal and AWS teams lacked a single source of truth ## **Why They Chose Suger** Cloudelligent first heard about Suger through the AWS partner ecosystem. The promise of seamless HubSpot–ACE integration and automated co-sell workflows directly addressed their challenges. By replacing manual processes with automation, Cloudelligent was able to remove friction and scale pipeline management without additional headcount. > “We needed something built for partnership teams, not another generic integration. Suger delivered exactly what we were missing.” ## **Using Suger** Cloudelligent uses Suger to automate syncing between HubSpot and the ACE pipeline, enabling opportunities to flow seamlessly across both systems. The integration fits directly into their existing tech stack without disruption, streamlining the co-sell process end to end. #### Best Workflows & Automations Suger keeps HubSpot and ACE in sync, mapping data between systems and simplifying reporting so the team no longer wastes time reconciling opportunities manually. - **Auto-Create Inbound Referrals** — Pushes AWS-originated opportunities directly into HubSpot, routing them into the right pipeline without manual entry. - **Auto-Accept Inbound Referrals** — Automatically accepts inbound referrals from AWS so nothing slips through and the team can engage faster. - **Auto-Sync Contacts** — Syncs AWS stakeholders (sales reps, account managers, PDMs, PSMs, ISMs) into HubSpot, giving sales and alliances instant visibility and smoother collaboration. > “With Suger, opportunities flow seamlessly from HubSpot to ACE. What used to take half an hour is now a few clicks.” #### Top Attributes Cloudelligent highlights integration, notifications, and reporting as the key features that improved pipeline visibility and kept sales and alliances aligned. - **HubSpot–ACE integration and data syncing** — Keeps opportunities and records fully aligned across systems, eliminating duplicate entry and reducing errors. - **Real-time Slack notifications** — Sends instant alerts on submissions, updates, and approvals, keeping sales and alliances in sync. - **Pipeline visibility** — Provides simplified, accurate reporting for a clear view of the co-sell pipeline. > “The real-time sync between ACE and HubSpot has been a game-changer, giving us accurate pipeline visibility and keeping teams aligned.” ## **Results & Impact** Suger has scaled Cloudelligent’s partnership motion without additional headcount, enabling faster, cleaner, and more accurate co-sell activity. #### **Impact Highlights** - **Reduced submission time** — Submissions cut from 20–30 minutes to just a few clicks - **Improved data accuracy** — Cleaner CRM records with fewer errors and rejections - **Accelerated co-sell momentum** — Faster engagement with AWS counterparts - **Scaled without extra staff** — Increased pipeline volume managed by the same team > “Every co-sell opportunity now runs through Suger. We’re engaging AWS faster and moving deals forward that might otherwise have stalled.” ## **Looking Ahead with Suger** Cloudelligent is eager to build on its foundation with Suger. A key priority is developing more powerful reporting and dashboards to bring co-sell metrics into sharper focus for both sales and alliance teams. The team also sees value in AI-driven insights to score and forecast opportunities with greater accuracy. Finally, they are looking to tighten integration between AWS funding programs and ACE opportunities to more effectively track funded deals within the broader co-sell pipeline. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Product Updates: September 2025 URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/product-updates-september-2025/ Type: Blog 1.

We’ve also streamlined offer management, expanded HubSpot functionality, and strengthened platform performance behind the scenes to support the next stage of growth. ## **Refreshed Suger console** We’ve redesigned the Suger Console homepage to make it faster and easier to get work done. Revenue insights are now front and center with a clean, visual performance summary, and new quick-action tiles provide one-click access to common tasks like creating offers, referrals, and products. ![Refreshed Suger console with redesigned navigation and updated dashboard layout](/blog/migrated/66620f14cfa12f0d.png?v=2026-05-12) Beyond the homepage, several core areas have been refreshed to streamline everyday workflows. The top navigation is simpler, professional services listing creation is more intuitive, and both the co-sell and field-mapping pages have been modernized for clarity. We’ve also redesigned the offer creation form and upgraded Global Search to display richer details at a glance. Together, these updates make the console cleaner, more intuitive, and better suited to the growing pace of co-sell and marketplace operations. ## **Professional services listings** You can now create AWS Professional Services listings directly in Suger. Previously, this had to be done manually in AWS. With this update, you can manage the process end-to-end in Suger, saving time and keeping listings consistent with your other products. Support for additional marketplaces is coming soon. ![Professional services listing form in Suger — packaging, SOW, and pricing fields ready for marketplace publishing](/blog/migrated/1ecf7e5256bc4bf4.png?v=2026-05-12) ## **Smarter co-sell collaboration in Salesforce** We’ve made it easier to bring the right stakeholders into every deal. You can now select the APN opportunity owner when sharing opportunities with AWS and add the AWS account manager directly in the Co-Sell widget.

Now you can identify which accounts are most likely to buy through AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces, directly inside your workflows, so your team can prioritize the right accounts earlier and execute marketplace motions with confidence. * * * ## **Focus on the right accounts, fast** If you sell through cloud marketplaces, you already know the pain. You have a big account list, limited rep time, and constant pressure to “do more with less.” The hardest part is not activity. It’s knowing which accounts are actually worth the effort this week. Buyer Intent Signals 2.0 gives your team a simple, consistent answer at the account level: **High, Medium, or Low** likelihood to buy through marketplace.  ![This image shows the availability of Buyer Intent Signals for Suger's customers for each cloud (AWS, Microsoft, and Google) on the account level in their CRM.](/blog/migrated/9108ffb36337d212.png?v=2026-05-12) **What business users get out of it** - **Sales leaders** get cleaner weekly prioritization and more consistent rep focus - **AEs and SDRs** get a fast way to build call lists and sequences around accounts that are more likely to convert - **Partnerships teams** get a shared signal to decide where to invest co-sell energy - **RevOps** gets a reliable field for reporting, segmentation, and workflow automation The win is focus. The team spends less time debating priorities and more time executing against accounts with real marketplace potential. * * * ## **Turns signals into sales plays** A score only matters if it changes behavior. Buyer Intent Signals are designed to support the decisions GTM teams make every day, especially when marketplace is part of the motion. **Common ways teams use it immediately** - **Weekly outbound planning:** start with High accounts, then move to Medium nurture - **Account reviews:** prioritize which accounts get coverage, partner engagement, or marketplace plays - **Territory strategy:** align rep capacity with accounts that are more likely to close on marketplace And because this is Suger, you can operationalize it using **\[Suger Workflows.\](/resources/blog/suger-workflow-automation/** **Example workflow pattern:** - High intent → route to top reps or create a marketplace-first play - Medium intent → add to a structured nurture sequence - Low intent → keep in a lighter-touch or non-marketplace motion until intent shifts This is where Buyer Intent Signals becomes a real GTM lever. Teams build repeatable plays around a shared account signal, so marketplace execution stops being ad hoc. **![Untitled design-2-1](/blog/migrated/dd8ae74ee63d3d43.png?v=2026-05-12)** * * * ## **Delivered where your team already works** Buyer Intent Signals is available directly **inside your CRM**, and it’s available **at the account level** in the current rollout. That matters because business users do not want another place to check. They want the signal to show up where they already plan, review, and execute. ![Buyer intent signals surfaced inside Salesforce — intent score, signal source, and recommended sales play](/blog/migrated/4fa9b5cc8c86d973.png?v=2026-05-12) **What this enables:** - Reps can see buyer intent while working deals and accounts - Managers can run reports and views to help with prioritization - RevOps can automate account routing and sequencing based on intent - Teams can align on a single definition of priority across sales and partnerships Signals refresh on a predictable cadence, optimized for reliability so teams can plan around it with confidence. By embedding Buyer Intent Signals directly into where you already work, workflows, Suger ensures these signals don’t become another unused insight. They become part of how teams plan, prioritize, and execute marketplace GTM — every day. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # AWS re:Invent 2025 Recap: Cloud GTM for 2026 URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/your-cloud-gtm-strategy-for-2026-post-aws-reinvent/ Type: Blog 1.

"Summarize with Perplexity") ### AWS re:Invent 2025 - a quick update for Marketplace AWS Marketplace crossed a real inflection point at re:Invent 2025. What used to be “a place to list software and transact” is rapidly becoming an **AI-native, rules-driven commerce layer** that compresses discovery, pricing, procurement, onboarding, and partner execution into a more automated system. For Partnerships, Alliances and Sales teams, this post isn’t just a feature recap. It’s a **GTM operating model change**: - Discovery is moving from keyword search → **agentic, conversational buying** - Pricing is moving from manual deal desk → **policy-based, instant private offers** - Packaging is moving from point product SKUs → **solution bundles (often multi-vendor)** - Post-sale onboarding is moving from tickets + IAM back-and-forth → **time-bound delegated setup** - Incentives are moving from fragmented discounts → **simplified “new customer” + “growth” levers** This article breaks down what changed, what it means for Cloud GTM leaders at ISVs, and—most importantly—**how to adapt with concrete actions** so you win deals faster, show up in the new AI discovery paths, and protect margin under the 2026 partner incentive redesign. * * * ### **Executive Summary: The 6 AWS Marketplace Changes That Matter Most for 2026 & Actionable Plays For You To Run** 1. [**Agent Mode + AI-enhanced search**:](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/11/aws-marketplace-agent-mode-ai-enhanced-search/) buyers can describe needs in natural language (and even upload requirements) and get guided comparisons. 2. [**Express Private Offers**:](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/11/aws-marketplace-express-private-offers/) sellers can pre-configure discount/term “rules,” enabling buyers to generate tailored private offers in minutes. 3. [**Multi-product solutions**:](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/11/introducing-multi-product-solutions-aws-marketplace/) AWS Marketplace supports solution-centric procurement with bundles across products/services (including multi-vendor scenarios). 4. [**IAM Temporary Delegation**:](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/streamline-customer-onboarding-and-accelerate-time-to-value-with-aws-iam-temporary-delegation/) onboarding can shift toward “one-click” secure setup via time-limited access, reducing Day 0 friction. 5. [**Partner program + channel incentives refresh (2026)**:](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/updates-to-aws-channel-programs-to-drive-growth-in-2026/) incentive structures are simplified and refocused (notably around new-customer acquisition and growth). 6. [**Partner Central inside the AWS Console:**](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/announcing-aws-partner-central-in-the-aws-management-console/) Unified identity, new APIs, AI assistant, and Salesforce integration modernize co-sell ops. Across these announcements, AWS is systematically removing “human latency” from the transaction lifecycle: searching, scoping, pricing, contracting, provisioning, and partner motions. Let’s go change-by-change, and dive into some Cloud GTM plays your teams should be running for 2026. * * * ### **1) AI-native buying: Agent Mode and AI-enhanced search are changing discovery** #### **What Is AWS Marketplace Agent Mode and AI-Enhanced Search?** AWS added [**Agent Mode**](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/agentmode) (conversational discovery) and **AI-enhanced search**—designed to accelerate solution discovery across the Marketplace catalog. Agent Mode is positioned as a procurement-native experience: buyers describe goals, constraints, and context; the system helps compare options and narrow down fit. #### **Why Traditional Keyword-Based Listings Won’t Win in 2026** In 2025, many sellers optimized listings for: - keywords - category placement - basic positioning copy In 2026, the discovery funnel will increasingly be driven by: - **semantic matching** - **agent-driven comparisons** - **structured product truth (security/compliance, integrations, deployment model, pricing constructs)** #### **Your play for 2026: What an “Agent-Ready” AWS Marketplace Listing Looks Like** To win in agentic discovery, your listing needs to be something an AI can reason over—clear, specific, and verifiable. **Agent-ready listing checklist** - Use-case clarity: “who it’s for” + “what it replaces” + “what it integrates with” - Technical depth: supported AWS services, deployment path, architecture diagrams - Compliance + security posture: attestations, data handling, identity model - Clear packaging: what’s included vs add-ons, professional services scope - Outcomes: measurable results + constraints (“works best when…”) **Pro tip:** treat your Marketplace listing like a sales asset, instead of a marketing blurb. #### **How Suger helps** With [Suger’s listing capabilities](https://doc.suger.io/aws-marketplace/list-product/) you can automate: - Listing enrichment with structured metadata - Integration of sales, marketing, and product requirement data - Versioning consistency across CRM, Marketplace, and co-sell fields This ensures your listings are discoverable in the new era of search. * * * ### **2) Express Private Offers on AWS Marketplace: The Automated Deal Desk** #### **What Are AWS Express Private Offers?** **Express Private Offers** introduce an AI-powered, rules-based path to personalized pricing. On participating products: - Buyers answer a short set of questions (term length, quantity, usage assumptions) - AWS automatically evaluates those inputs against **seller-defined pricing rules** - A private offer is generated **within minutes**, not weeks If the buyer’s needs fall outside those parameters, AWS still routes them to sales. #### **Why this matters** Private offers are the core contract mechanism for enterprise Marketplace buying—but the “time-to-quote” bottleneck has historically lived in: - negotiation with sales - approvals - discounting guardrails - back-and-forth with procurement Express Private Offers pushes “standard deal motion” toward **rules-based automation**. If your competitors enable express offers (and you don’t), you’re going to lose deals on **speed**, especially in mid-market and standardized enterprise renewals. #### **What your play should be for 2026: Split your pipeline into “Express vs Complex”** You want the majority of deals to move like this: **Express path (automate)** - standard durations (12/24/36) - common discount bands - standard legal terms - common consumption assumptions **Complex path (sales)** - large strategic accounts - non-standard legal - heavy services - unusual payment schedules Your job is to **automate the Express path**, so your team is spending time where Sales actually adds leverage. #### **How Suger helps** [With Suger’s Private Offers product you can](https://www.suger.io/marketplace) - **Automates the entire private offer lifecycle** — creation, discounting, approvals, co-terming, buyer workflow, and CRM sync — without requiring changes to your internal process. - **Ingest Express Private Offers automatically** from AWS and routes them through your existing pricing and approval logic. - **Reflect all status changes** across Marketplace, CRM, and internal GTM workflows in real time. * * * ### **3) From listings to solutions: multi-product solutions & bundling** #### **What changed** AWS Marketplace introduced **multi-product solutions**—solution-centric listings that combine multiple products and services (and can include more than one vendor) into a consolidated procurement flow. #### **Why this matters** Enterprise buyers are increasingly procuring **outcomes** (e.g., “secure data platform for healthcare analytics”) rather than single tools. Multi-product solutions reduce buyer friction by moving from “assemble-your-own stack” to “approved bundle with one procurement motion.” This is a direct invitation to turn alliances into revenue: - **Co-build solution packages** with SIs, MSPs, and complementary ISVs - Create **vertical bundles** (security, healthcare, fintech, data, AI ops) where your product is the anchor—or a must-have component - Use bundling to unlock bigger deal sizes and reduce multi-vendor legal/procurement drag #### **What your play should be for 2026: “Outcomes-first” bundles** Build 2–3 bundles that match how AWS buyers think: **Bundle template** - _Outcome_: one sentence (e.g., “reduce cloud security incidents”) - _Core product_: your SKU - _Adjacent components_: 1–2 partner products or required add-ons - _Services_: implementation package, managed services, or assessment - _Proof_: 1–2 reference architectures + compliance posture Then map each bundle to a partner motion: - “GSI-led transformation bundle” - “MSP-managed bundle” - “ISV + ISV co-sell bundle” #### **How Suger helps** Suger enables teams to: - Operationalize multi-product solution orchestration - Manage pricing, entitlements, and private offers across components - Sync solution opportunities into Salesforce/HubSpot - Automate private offers for multi-vendor bundles Suger becomes the **operating layer** that makes solution-centric selling manageable rather than chaotic. * * * ### **4) IAM Temporary Delegation: onboarding becomes a product feature** #### **What changed** AWS introduced **IAM Temporary Delegation** to streamline customer onboarding by enabling time-limited, scoped access for provisioning required resources—reducing setup friction while maintaining customer control and visibility. #### **Why this matters** For many Marketplace deals, the actual “time-to-value” is dominated by: - security review - IAM role creation - deployment validation - configuration tickets When onboarding drags, you see: - delayed adoption - higher churn risk - lower expansion velocity - more support cost Temporary Delegation attacks the Day 0 problem directly. #### **What your play should be for 2026: “Day 0 reduction” becomes a GTM lever** Partnerships and Sales leaders should work with Product/Eng to make onboarding a closing asset: - Add onboarding steps into your sales cycle (“we can deploy in under X hours”) - Include a post-sale success plan tied to delegated provisioning - Build a “go-live within 7 days” guarantee _only if your onboarding is truly streamlined_ This is how you turn “operational plumbing” into conversion rate. #### **What Suger Does** With Suger you can incorporate IAM Temporary Delegation directly into the onboarding experience by tracking permissions, provisioning steps, and deployment milestones as they occur in AWS. This lets sellers deliver a smoother, faster, and more predictable onboarding process, while keeping GTM, CS, and engineering teams aligned on every customer’s progress. * * * ### **5) Partner Central inside the AWS console + APIs: your partner ops stack is changing** #### **What changed** AWS Partner Central is now available directly in the AWS Management Console, with APIs designed to streamline and integrate partner workflows. ([Amazon Web Services, Inc.](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/announcing-aws-partner-central-in-the-aws-management-console/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) #### **Why this matters** The operational reality of Cloud GTM is still messy: - duplicated entries across CRM + AWS portals - scattered co-sell activity - hard-to-track funding requests - inconsistent deal registration discipline With this shift AWS is signaling: “partner workflows should be integrated and automated.” #### **What your play should be for 2026: unify your Cloud GTM systems of record** At minimum, you want to: - **Integrate your CRM and GTM systems** with the Partner Central APIs so co-sell motions, deal registrations, incentives, and benefits are updated automatically. - **Expand into solution selling** by combining your product with complementary partners and using Partner Central to publish multi-product solutions. - **Operationalize benefits tracking** (MDF, incentives, programs) instead of managing them manually — AWS’s new structure rewards those who can forecast and activate benefits quickly. - **Train Sales, Alliances, and RevOps** to operate inside the new Partner Central flow, ensuring teams understand visibility, registration rules, and benefit eligibility pathways. If your answers require spreadsheets and Slack archaeology, you will not keep up with the automated motion AWS is pushing. #### **What Suger Does** - **Connects directly to the updated Partner Central APIs**, syncing co-sell opportunities, benefit eligibility, registration flows, and incentive progress into your CRM and GTM systems in real time — no double entry, no stale data. - **Automates solution publishing and partner collaboration workflows**, ensuring multi-vendor and multi-product packages stay consistent across internal systems and AWS. - **Tracks and operationalizes partner benefits** (incentives, MDF, co-sell programs), giving GTM teams clear visibility into what’s earned, what’s available, and what accelerators to use next. - **Keeps your entire AWS GTM motion in sync** with Partner Central by unifying deal data, co-sell activity, benefits, and program status under a single operational model. * * * ### **6) Channel Partner Incentives 2026: what changes for forecasting and partner strategy** #### **What changed** AWS announced updates to channel partner programs starting January 1, 2026 with a phased rollout, aiming to simplify benefits and improve scalability. Separately, AWS also emphasized broader partner success initiatives tied to Marketplace and partner services. #### **Why it matters** Incentive changes shape: - where your channel partners invest - how deals are sourced (“new customer” motion vs expansion) - which segments get prioritized - how margin is modeled and defended * * * ### **What this means for your Cloud GTM strategy in 2026** If buying becomes conversational and pricing becomes automated, the winners will be the ISVs who: #### **A) Automate what’s repeatable** - Express Private Offers for standard deal shapes - Standardized private offer templates for complex deals - Operational alerts for offer expiry, approvals, provisioning steps #### **B) Re-skill your team around solution selling** - Alliances build bundles that match buyer outcomes - Sales leads with implementation certainty + time-to-value - Partner ops turns co-sell into a measurable process #### **C) Measure differently (the 2026 scoreboard)** Track these as first-class KPIs: - **Agentic discoverability** (leading indicator: listing completeness + use-case coverage) - **Co-sell conversion rate** (AWS-sourced referrals → closed-won) - **Time-to-value** (contract → deployed) - **Bundle attach rate** (how often you sell with partners) * * * ### **How leading sellers will adapt (patterns you can copy)** If you own AWS Marketplace revenue (or are trying to), your competitive edge in 2026 will come from: - **being discoverable in agentic flows** - **automating the “standard” deal path** - **packaging outcomes (not SKUs)** - **reducing time-to-value after the PO** - **building an incentive-aware partner strategy** AWS Marketplace is becoming a programmable system for how software is priced, discovered, sold, and expanded. The teams that win in 2026 won’t be the ones reacting to each new AWS announcement. They’ll be the ones who’ve already operationalized their Cloud GTM motion—connecting Marketplace activity, co-sell motions, private offers, and revenue data into a single operating layer. If you’re rethinking how to run Marketplace revenue as an engine(not a set of tabs), it helps to look at how modern Cloud GTM teams are approaching listing management, private offers, and co-sell workflows in one place.

"Summarize with Gemini")[](https://www.perplexity.ai/search/new?q=Read%20and%20summarize%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.suger.io%2Fresources%2Fblog%2Fproduct-updates-winter-2025%2F%2C%20then%20cite%20the%20source.%20Focus%20on%20what%20it%20says%20about%20Product%20Update. "Summarize with Perplexity") By the end of 2025, one thing became clear: cloud go-to-market has outgrown the tools most teams rely on to run it. Sales teams needed better signals to prioritize accounts. Alliances teams are asked to scale co-sell motions without adding headcount. Finance and procurement teams were pulled directly into cloud deal execution: owning commitment burn, compliance, and approval workflows. And across every function, critical workflows still lived in spreadsheets, inboxes, and one-off processes. This Winter Release, we focused on making cloud GTM more deliberate, more connected, and easier to operate—so teams can spend less time coordinating work and more time moving deals forward. Here’s what’s new. * * * ### **TL;DR — What Shipped** - **Buyer Intent Signals + CRM Enrichment:** Automated enrichment at the account level of buyer intent signals that keeps CRM data aligned with real-time marketplace and co-sell signals. - **AWS Funding Requests:** Native CRM and in console support for POC, MDF funding types with more coming soon. - **Snowflake Private Offers:** Create, send, and track Snowflake Marketplace offers without leaving Suger. - **Hubspot Improvements:** Full co-sell and private offer execution, now native to HubSpot. * * * ### **Buyer Intelligence, delivered where you already work** With Suger, you can now automatically enrich your CRM with Buyer Intent Signals and keep it current over time. ![Suger Buyer Intelligence card inside a CRM showing intent signals, engagement score, and a recommended next action](/blog/migrated/ac8d709b79a2cab7.png?v=2026-05-12) #### **What’s new** - CRM Enrichment: Automatic account-level enrichment with Buyer Intent Signals. - Native Salesforce _and_ HubSpot support, configured directly at the CRM integration level - Quarterly score refreshes that only update records when the signal changes Once enriched, this data lives directly in your CRM as native fields, and is reportable, filterable, and usable in the same way. #### **Why it matters** Most marketplace intent tools require CSV downloads or off-to-the-side dashboards. With CRM Enrichment, scores and signals appear directly in Salesforce or HubSpot where sales and partnerships prioritize accounts. #### **Top-performing teams use this to** - Executed targeted, intelligent account routing and GTM sequencing based on marketplace intent - Build priority lists, views, and reporting using Suger’s Buyer Intent Signals directly inside Salesforce * * * ### **AWS Funding, built into Suger and embedded in your CRM** AWS funding can materially accelerate deals—but only if teams know when to use it and how to manage it correctly. Historically, funding workflows lived across Partner Central, email, spreadsheets, and CRM notes. This release brings them into a single, connected system. #### **What’s new** - **In-platform request creation:** Draft and submit funding requests directly from Suger or Salesforce, with validated fields and program-ready formatting. - **Full lifecycle tracking:** Statuses, approvals, claims, PO numbers, and reimbursements are tracked end-to-end. - **Funding types:** Support for POC and MDF today, with more to be added soon. ![new funding demo](/blog/migrated/458b8215cd7ae165.gif?v=2026-05-12) #### **Why it matters** Funding is one of the biggest accelerators in Cloud GTM, but it’s historically lived outside the systems teams rely on most. That disconnect slowed deals down and limited visibility to a small group of specialists. Sales teams often didn’t know funding was available, and ops teams had to reconcile data across multiple portals. By bringing funding into CRM workflows, teams can move faster without giving up governance. #### **Best-in-class teams use this to** - Get real-time visibility into available funding - Approve or reject POC/MDF requests from Salesforce while keeping governance clean - Track AWS approval progress without logging into Partner Central - Ensure every referral or opportunity that is eligible for funding gets submitted * * * ### **Sell on Snowflake Marketplace through Suger** Snowflake Marketplace continues to grow as a strategic enterprise channel, but managing private offers has required separate tooling, access controls, and coordination across teams. That changes with this release. ![Snowflake Marketplace listing management in the Suger console — same workflow used for AWS, Azure, and GCP](/blog/migrated/d6fe92bbe40fb62a.png?v=2026-05-12) #### **What’s new** - **Offer creation:** Configure pricing, terms, entitlements, and buyer details directly from the Suger console. - **Acceptance tracking:** See who can accept offers, when acceptance occurs, and how it impacts revenue and forecasting. - **Marketplace visibility:** Dashboards show performance, renewal timing, and pipeline contribution. - **Role-based access:** Sales, Alliances, and RevOps teams get visibility without needing Snowflake console access. #### **Why it matters** Snowflake marketplace activity has grown quickly, but operational tooling hasn’t always kept pace. Without unified workflows, teams were forced to manage Snowflake deals differently from the rest of their cloud business. That added complexity and slowed scale. This update brings Snowflake into the same operational layer as the rest of your Cloud GTM motion. #### **Best-in-class teams use this to** - Run Snowflake and hyperscaler deals from the same system. - Standardize private offer and revenue tracking across clouds. - Give RevOps and Finance a single source of truth for marketplace activity. * * * ### Improvements to our Hubspot experience #### **What’s new** - Ability to create co-sells and private offers from within Hubspot. - Visibility into entitlements, co-sell records, and private offers, and CPPOs ![Improved HubSpot deal record with embedded Suger co-sell controls and marketplace status](/blog/migrated/922737d029dfaefe.png?v=2026-05-12) #### **Why it matters** This update ensures HubSpot users can participate fully in co-sell and marketplace workflows without losing visibility or control, and get the same operational depth without switching tools. * * * #### **What’s Next** This Winter Release moves Suger closer to its long-term goal: serving as the operating system for cloud GTM across sellers, buyers, alliances, finance, and procurement. If you’d like to see how these capabilities fit into your current GTM motion, we’d be happy to walk you through it. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # RevOps 101: Governing Cloud Marketplace Deals URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/revops-cloud-gtm-playbook-101/ Type: Blog 1.

Can you help?” “What’s the status of the deal? Can I close it?” “What’s the AWS account ID?” Then when the deal closes, Finance joins in: “Have we actually been paid for that deal?” “How are we supposed to recognize this revenue?” These questions aren’t with bad intent, but with the assumption that marketplace deals are just another channel. They aren’t. The mechanics are different enough that your existing quote-to-cash process doesn’t cover them, but similar enough that no one thinks to build new ones until something breaks. * * * ## **TLDR: The key takeaway** This is the first chapter of a RevOps Marketplace Playbook built around one principle that sounds obvious until you try to enforce it: **💡 Key Takeaway:** Marketplace deals must be governed by RevOps like direct deals, even if the execution path is different. The fastest way to introduce friction is to treat marketplace transactions as “special,” “partner-owned,” or “outside the CRM.” The fastest way to reduce it is to force those deals back into the same operational discipline as direct sales. Most of the problems teams run into later are visible right at the start. * * * ## **Background: The promise vs. the reality** Cloud marketplaces made buying and selling software easier. They did far less for the teams responsible for operating those deals. For RevOps, the promise tends to fall apart the moment a deal stops looking like a “direct” sales motion. ![RevOps reality on cloud marketplaces: deal data fragmented across CRM, marketplace portal, and ERP with no shared identifier](/blog/migrated/f5112ac6a5a00212.png?v=2026-05-12) In a direct sales motion, RevOps knows what to expect. Marketplace deals usually take the scenic route. Marketplaces slowly become an additional system of record, not because anyone intended it, but because execution moved faster than RevOps controls. As deal volume grows, this becomes a real pain. Which brings us to our core thesis, and what we believe is the root of all evil. * * * ## **When there are multiple systems of record, governance collapses** RevOps teams interviewed across enterprise and mid-market software companies consistently report that marketplace deals introduce approval blind spots, pricing leakage, and compliance risk when portals replace CRM as the source of truth.  This matters because RevOps designs controls around the CRM. That’s where the company enforces policy: discount thresholds, approval routing, deal desk review, audit trails. Once a user has portal access, they can technically publish an offer at almost any price, for almost any term, without triggering internal approvals. Furthermore, the process downstream of the creation and acceptance of the offer is manual and invisible to RevOps. **💡 Key Takeaway**Multiple systems of record become a nightmare for RevOps in 3 areas: **Policy**, **Workflows**, and **Ownership**. * * * ## **Problem #1: Policy controls break down outside the revenue system** When private offers are created directly in marketplace portals, the company’s approval, pricing, and legal governance frameworks simply don’t apply. The portal doesn’t know what was approved. It doesn’t enforce margin rules. It doesn’t validate legal terms. It just publishes what the user enters. Four policy failures show up almost immediately: - **Pricing:** Marketplace fees are not accounted for in deal approvals. - **Approvals:** Discounts and terms can be published in the marketplace without triggering approval flows. - **Legal:** EULAs and legal terms are uploaded manually with no version control. - **Deal Status:** No single system shows who approved what and what was executed. At that point, RevOps isn’t operating the revenue engine anymore, it’s reacting to it. ### How to solve this problem The most important decision RevOps makes is: **The marketplace can execute the transaction, but it cannot own the deal.** Leading RevOps teams enforce policy that come from this belief. For example: - **Pricing:** Marketplace pricing cannot be published without approved margin and fee validation. - **Approvals:** Marketplace discounts and terms cannot bypass standard approval rules. - **Legal:** Only approved, version-controlled legal terms may be used in the marketplace. - **Deal Status:** Every marketplace action must be traceable to an approved deal record. ### **How Suger helps** Suger connects directly to Salesforce and HubSpot, enabling sales teams to launch private offers without leaving their CRM. Data flows automatically from opportunity records to AWS, Azure, or GCP, eliminating manual re-entry and transcription errors. This unified workflow ensures zero “data drift” and keeps reps focused on selling rather than switching between portals.  **💫  Pro tip:** Need help with pricing, approvals, and legal controls?

Deal desk workflows exist to coordinate execution across systems. Traditional CPQ-based flows assume a single contracting surface, a single billing model, and a linear quote-to-cash sequence. Marketplaces break those assumptions.Workflows and systems tend to break down across 2 areas. ### **Quote-to-cash system:** - Marketplace SKUs don’t map cleanly to internal system SKUs - Payment terms approvals don’t account for hyperscaler payout delays - Pricing rules don’t model marketplace fees correctly - Marketplace offers bypass CPQ and standard contracting flows - CRM stages do not reflect real deal state, and RevOps must manually reconcile portal data back into internal systems ### **Revenue recognition systems:** - Revenue recognition timing becomes unclear, which can cause cash flow issues and revenue leakage - End-of-month and end-of-quarter reconciliation becomes manual ### **How to solve this problem** RevOps needs to adjust pricing, legal, and approval frameworks so marketplace mechanics aren’t treated as exceptions. That means incorporating marketplace fees into approvals, clarifying which terms apply, and ensuring CPQ reflects marketplace-specific SKUs and billing constructs. ### **How Suger helps** With Suger, existing CRM approval workflows extend automatically to marketplace deals, ensuring consistent governance. Deal desk can configure pricing rules, account for marketplace fees, and sync legal EULAs directly from Salesforce to ensure net-margin visibility and compliance. Flexible payment schedules map natively to cloud billing, removing the need for manual workarounds. **💫  Pro tip:** Need the right systems and workflows in place? [Check out the Workflows & Systems section of our checklist.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRBQTuuXgPc7YVdSIo36yBkQe_UJ4D4UXHRkerxKkw6EUmyHzhbx2TNSHy_5bS1E4ITy0WdALz1rpWW/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true&widget=true&headers=false) * * * ## **Problem #3: Missing operational ownership for marketplace deals** Research across RevOps teams shows that unclear handoffs after marketplace submission are one of the largest contributors to delayed provisioning, missed revenue recognition, and poor customer experience. In a traditional sales process, roles are clear: - Sales owns the customer relationship - Deal Desk approves pricing/policy/legal - RevOps ensures data flows into the CRM correctly However, when a deal goes through marketplace, ownership becomes blurry. ![Ownership matrix for marketplace deals showing gaps between sales, RevOps, finance, and partner teams](/blog/migrated/b2e4618c6fae07bc.png?v=2026-05-12) Across the lifecycle of the transaction, these are the most important questions you should ask: **Deal Stage** **What’s Happening** **Where Things Break** **Critical Questions:** **Offer created/sent** The private offer is shared with the customer. Acceptance may be delayed due to internal approvals, budget sign-off, or timing. Monitoring progress is often split across Sales, Partnerships, and Ops, creating follow-up gaps. **Who is responsible for monitoring progress once the offer is out?** **Offer pending with issues** The customer attempts to accept the offer but runs into blockers technical issues. These are marketplace-specific issues, not sales objections, and they often fall between teams with no clear owner. **Who owns resolving marketplace-specific issues that block acceptance?** **Offer accepted** The customer accepts the private offer. Post-acceptance ownership becomes unclear, leading to gaps in visibility and handoffs for downstream teams. **Who ensures the deal is reflected accurately for downstream teams?** Most orgs handle this with a Frankenstein-esque monstrosity of manual processes and handoffs:  - Side-by-side checking of quotes and portal screens - Slack approvals instead of system approvals - Spreadsheet trackers to monitor live offers - End-of-quarter scrambles to validate what actually went out This works until volume picks up, where it then breaks. Because the lifecycle of a marketplace transaction is outside the “direct” workflow, no one is the owner, and has a view of the upstream or downstream dependencies and risk.  ### **How to solve this problem** **Ownership must be explicit, and singular.** RevOps should define who drafts, who publishes, who monitors, and who updates the CRM and centralizes visibility so acceptance and expiry don’t depend on someone manually checking a portal. ### **How Suger helps** Real-time Slack and email alerts notify stakeholders at every stage, while automated CRM updates move opportunity stages the moment a customer accepts. AEs can track, amend, or withdraw offers independently, eliminating routine handoffs to Partner Ops. For reseller deals (CPPO/MPO), teams maintain full control over usage and pricing directly within their existing system of record. **💫  Pro tip:** Lost on who owns what? [Check out the **Ownership** section of our checklist.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vRBQTuuXgPc7YVdSIo36yBkQe_UJ4D4UXHRkerxKkw6EUmyHzhbx2TNSHy_5bS1E4ITy0WdALz1rpWW/pubhtml?gid=1257822109&single=true&widget=true&headers=false&pli=1) * * * ## **Closing note** The underlying pattern here is that marketplace deals introduce catastrophic friction at every layer of the revenue process. > **The moment the portal becomes a parallel system of record, your RevOps process stop being enforceable** The consequences aren’t trivial.  - **Revenue leaks** when someone fat-fingers an offer - **Audit headaches** when marketplace data doesn’t match your books - **Day-one customer pain** when offer closes don’t trigger provisioning Teams who try to roll with the chaos are in for a rude awakening. That can work early on. It breaks the moment Cloud GTM becomes material.  At scale, you need systems that connect the CRM and the marketplace so existing policies, workflows, and ownership extend naturally into this channel. Without that bridge, marketplace deals remain exceptions. Some teams accept that trade-off. Most stop once they see the real cost. **💫** Final Pro Tip: [Suger](http://Suger.io) was built by RevOps and technical leaders who felt this                                problem ourselves.                              For us, this is personal.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Sales just closed another seven-figure deal through AWS Marketplace. The customer’s burning down their committed cloud spend, the rep hit quota, and the C-suite is celebrating another win in the cloud era. ![obvqaa0lhn841](/blog/migrated/dcd8c158d3e705a9.jpg?v=2026-05-12) While everyone’s celebrating, Finance is staring at the contract in Salesforce and thinking: - When do we recognize this revenue? - Who’s the principal? - How do we book the AR when AWS is doing the billing? - Where does the marketplace fee go on the P&L? - And how exactly are we supposed to reconcile this when the cash shows up in six weeks as part of a bulk disbursement with 20 other transactions? **The pattern repeats every quarter:** Revenue gets recognized in January. Cash arrives in April. And the reconciliation? That’s happening across spreadsheets, marketplace portals, and your CRM at 11 PM on the last day of the quarter. * * * ### **Introduction** This is the first chapter of a Finance Cloud Marketplace Playbook centered around one core problem: > **Cloud marketplace accounting forces you to make consequential accounting decisions with incomplete information, reconcile transactions you don’t control, using systems that weren’t natively built for this.** By the end of this chapter, you should be able to: - Identify where marketplace mechanics break traditional finance processes - Understand the key accounting decisions you need to make - Know what solving this systematically requires Finally, we hope after reading this you’ll be celebrating a little too (why should Sales have all the fun?) #### Why Cloud Marketplace Transactions Break Traditional Accounting Cloud GTM breaks the link between revenue, cash, and ownership. Finance is still accountable for all three. ![Gemini\_Generated\_Image\_7hd0jf7hd0jf7hd0](/blog/migrated/19a0097cf29a4fc6.png?v=2026-05-12) In traditional software sales, you deliver the service, you bill the customer and you collect the cash, so revenue recognition, accounts receivable, and cash flow make sense. As shown in the illustration above, cloud marketplaces deals fracture that sequence entirely. Finance still has to recognize revenue correctly, reconcile cash, pass audits, and forecast accurately. > **The following three problems expose where this broken model forces finance into impossible positions.** * * * ### Revenue Recognition Challenges for Cloud Marketplaces > **Marketplace revenue forces finance into subjective accounting decisions that current standards aren’t clear on.** ![Gemini\_Generated\_Image\_hc1xl4hc1xl4hc1x](/blog/migrated/4ddbeebd20300e92.png?v=2026-05-12) Marketplaces insert a third party into the transaction, creating three judgment calls that directly affect your reported revenue, margin profile, and valuation: 1. Are you the principal or the agent? 2. How do you classify the marketplace fee? 3. How do you handle variable consideration? Let’s examine each. #### Principal vs. Agent Determination for Cloud Marketplace Deals This is the most immediate and material accounting challenge for finance teams in a Cloud GTM model. > An entity is a principal (recognizing gross revenue) if it controls the good or service before transfer. Conversely, an agent (recognizing net revenue) merely arranges for another party to provide it. The complexity deepens with multi-party offers (CPPOs or MPOs), which introduce a fourth party to the mix. Here, the ISV sells to a Channel Partner, who then sells to the end customer via the marketplace. **In practice, most SaaS vendors conclude they are the principal**—they provide the product, set pricing, own the EULA, and handle service delivery. This means recognizing gross revenue and treating the marketplace’s cut as an expense. Finance teams must document their assessment against three primary indicators: 1. **Primary Responsibility for Fulfillment** - The ISV manages uptime, support, and the EULA, even though the marketplace handles billing administration 2. **Inventory Risk** - Marketplaces don’t purchase licenses to resell; they facilitate pass-through transactions 3. **Pricing Discretion** - ISVs negotiate private offer pricing directly with customers > **Why it matters:** Gross vs. net presentation affects top-line revenue and growth metrics. This policy can materially impact valuations and benchmarks for high-volume sellers. #### How to Account for Cloud Marketplace Fees on Your P&L Once you’ve established principal status, the next question is: how do you treat the marketplace fee on your P&L? Should fees be Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) or Operating Expenses (OpEx)? Industry practice is [split according to GaapSavvy](https://news.gaapsavvy.com/p/whats-really-happening-in-cloud-marketplace): - **58% classify as S&M** (operating expense) - **42% classify as COGS** > **Our recommendation:** We prescribe **OpEx classification** as best practice. Marketplaces function as sales channels, making the fee analogous to channel partner compensation. However, many teams default to COGS as more defensible. No explicit standard dictates treatment. Make a policy decision, document the rationale, maintain consistency, and prepare to defend it to auditors #### Revenue Recognition for Marketplace Deals with Usage-Based Pricing For usage-based or consumption pricing, you recognize revenue as usage happens, requiring real-time tracking and integration between marketplace metering data and your revenue systems. You must estimate variable consideration at contract inception, then update as actual usage data arrives. At period-end, you may need to accrue for unbilled usage—creating estimation risk on top of delayed data and deferred revenue schedules that multiply with each transaction. * * * ### Managing Cloud Marketplace Accounts Receivable and Cash Flow When you account for revenue as principal, you must record AR for the full amount. But in marketplace sales, you didn’t invoice the customer and you don’t control collections. This creates three compounding problems: 1. You need “ghost invoices” just to make your ERP work 2. Cash timing is unpredictable and outside your control 3. You’re exposed to collection risk you can’t monitor ![unnamed-2](/blog/migrated/aa5ee32422fc99b0.jpg?v=2026-05-12) #### How to Create Invoices for Marketplace Transactions When selling direct, you invoice the customer and manage collection. In marketplace sales, the cloud provider invoices the customer on your behalf as the merchant-of-record. But you still need to record a receivable and track its collection. The result: **you carry AR on your books for sales you didn’t bill, with limited visibility into the customer’s payment status.** > **The workaround:** According to a [GaapSavvy survey](https://news.gaapsavvy.com/p/whats-really-happening-in-cloud-marketplace), **63% of companies create “dummy” or ghost invoices** in their ERP. You don’t have to send these to customers (they’re paying the cloud provider) but the invoices allow your system to: - Log the receivable - Book revenue - Apply payments when cash arrives Most companies list the end-customer name on these invoices and classify them as normal trade receivables, aligning with the economic reality that you’re owed money for delivering the service. #### Understanding Marketplace Payment Timing and Cash Flow Impact Creating dummy invoices is just the beginning. The cash flow timing creates a second layer of complexity. Cloud marketplaces pay out funds on a delayed cycle: 1. Customer is invoiced by the cloud provider (net 30, net 45, etc.) 2. Cloud provider collects payment from customer 3. Cloud provider remits your share after collection **Example of a typical cycle:** January sale via Azure (net-30 terms) → Microsoft invoices in January → collects in February → pays you mid-March. Your books show A/R in January, cash receipt in March. > **Magnitude of impact:** For high-volume sellers at $100M+ marketplace revenue annually even 5 days of delayed payment equals significant lost interest income. #### Handling Collection Risk in Cloud Marketplace Deals The delayed cash flow would be manageable if you could at least track collection status. But you can’t. While cloud providers perform credit checks, default risk still flows back to you: - **AWS/GCP**: Only pay after collecting (you’re not paid if customer defaults) - **Azure**: May pay before collection but will claw back amounts from future payouts if customer doesn’t pay Cloud marketplaces share minimal customer billing and credit information. You often won’t know if a deal is on extended terms or facing collection issues until the payout is delayed. This makes cash forecasting difficult and may require opening support tickets to investigate specific unpaid accounts. * * * ### Reconciling Revenue Across Your Internal Systems > **Without shared identifiers across systems, reconciliation shifts from accounting work to detective work.** For high-volume sellers, this is where operational pain becomes acute. The reconciliation challenge has three layers: 1. No common identifier links your systems together 2. Disbursements arrive as lump sums you must reverse-engineer 3. Multi-currency deals multiply the complexity exponentially Each layer compounds the others. #### Reconciling Revenue Across CRM, Marketplace, ERP, and Bank The fundamental problem is simple but crippling: - **CRM** (Salesforce/HubSpot) shows a deal with an opportunity ID - **Marketplace portal** shows a transaction with a marketplace transaction ID - **ERP** (NetSuite/QuickBooks) shows revenue with an invoice number - **Bank** shows a lump-sum deposit with a bank trace ID **There is no shared unique identifier linking all four.** Finance teams must triangulate using customer names, amounts, and dates, none of which align perfectly. #### How to Match Marketplace Disbursements to Individual Deals When a $61,000 disbursement arrives, you don’t know if it represents: - One deal from one buyer - Three different transactions grouped together - Partial payment on a larger entitlement Most companies resort to spreadsheets, manually matching invoice amounts across buyers to figure out which deals sum to $61,000. Marketplaces provide some metadata (bank trace ID, invoice ID), but it’s inconsistent across platforms and rarely matches the identifiers in your other systems. **The net-to-gross reconciliation layer:** The bank deposit shows the net amount (after marketplace fees). You need to: 1. Identify which transactions the disbursement represents 2. Add back the listing fee to calculate gross revenue 3. Categorize the fee per your accounting policy 4. Create appropriate journal entries For companies selling across AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously—each with different fee structures and reporting formats—this manual work can add days or weeks to close cycles. #### Reconciling Multi-Currency Cloud Marketplace Transactions Selling globally introduces foreign exchange as another reconciliation variable. Marketplaces apply exchange rates (typically Bloomberg) at invoice time, not offer acceptance. If you close a ¥700,000 deal on January 1 but the invoice goes out January 15, you’re exposed to FX fluctuation between those dates. The ISV bears the exchange risk and must reconcile FX impacts across three different moments—all potentially at different rates: - Contract date - Invoice date - Cash receipt date * * * ### How to Solve Marketplace Finance Challenges At Scale The three themes above aren’t theoretical, they’re daily reality for finance teams managing marketplace revenue. At low volumes, you can muscle through manually. Spreadsheets work. Close takes an extra day, but it’s manageable. As deal volume on marketplace grows, manual processes break down entirely. You need automation or you’re looking at materially longer close cycles, audit risk, and potential revenue leakage. #### **The Three Pillars of Cloud Marketplace Finance** Solving marketplace finance at scale requires three foundational elements: ##### **Pillar 1: Clear Accounting Policies** Before you can automate anything, you need documented decisions on the judgment calls: - Principal vs. agent determination (with supporting analysis for auditors) - Marketplace fee classification: S&M or COGS? - Revenue recognition timing: contract signature or offer acceptance? - How marketplace fees impact SaaS metrics (CAC, gross margin, ARR) - Bad debt reserve methodology when you don’t control collections - Multi-entity revenue booking rules for global operations These aren’t one-time decisions. As you expand into new marketplaces or new deal structures (CPPO, usage-based), you’ll revisit these policies. ##### **Pillar 2: Unifying Fragmented Data Into a Single Source of Truth** The core problem is data fragmentation across disconnected systems. You need a unification layer that: - Aggregates marketplace data across AWS, Azure, GCP, and emerging platforms - Links marketplace transactions to CRM opportunities with a common identifier - Maps disbursements to specific entitlements - Tracks net-to-gross reconciliation automatically - Provides visibility into payment status and timing ![Add node-1](/blog/migrated/cb316f5db823d5b2.png?v=2026-05-12) This is where platforms like [Suger](http://suger.io) function as the connective tissue. Suger pulls data from marketplace APIs, links it to your CRM records (Salesforce, HubSpot), and prepares the accounting entries your ERP needs. Instead of manually matching a $100,000 bank deposit across three spreadsheets, the system automatically maps: **Marketplace disbursement → specific entitlements → CRM opportunities → ERP invoices** Suger’s revenue record APIs track disbursements, link them to entitlements, and expose webhook notifications when cash arrives—turning the lump-sum matching problem into a structured data flow. ##### **Pillar 3: Automating Marketplace Revenue Workflows** The goal isn’t just visibility, it’s eliminating manual steps entirely. Best-in-class implementations automate the order-to-cash cycle: - **Offer Accepted** → Auto-create invoice in NetSuite (gross amount) + Record marketplace fee (OpEx or COGS per your policy) + Update Salesforce opportunity stage - **Disbursement Received** → Match to entitlement → Apply payment in ERP → Close AR - **Exception Detected** → Flag late payments, discrepancies, FX variances for manual review \[Suger’s workflow builder\](/resources/blog/suger-workflow-automation/ lets you construct these automations visually, connecting marketplace events to actions in your CRM and ERP. The integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and NetSuite are native, and custom workflows are supported via API. ![Finance workflow diagram showing marketplace disbursement reconciliation across CRM, ERP, and bank statements](/blog/migrated/eb46824d1dbdf40b.png?v=2026-05-12) This turns reconciliation from a detective work into an automated process with exception-based reviews, the way month-end close should work. * * * ### **Closing Note** According to benchmarks, top SaaS companies transact 20-40% of new bookings through marketplaces. For some, it’s over 50%. When marketplace revenue reaches that scale, the finance challenges we’ve outlined stop being occasional inconveniences and start being systemic risks: - **Audit findings** on unsupported revenue recognition policies - **Material weaknesses** in internal controls over financial reporting - **DSO inflation** that masks underlying collection problems - **Revenue leakage** from reconciliation errors that compound over time - **Extended close cycles** that delay board reporting and strategic decision-making The fix isn’t more spreadsheets or more headcount. It’s treating marketplace revenue the way you treat any other significant revenue stream: with clear policies, unified data, and automated processes. If you’re still reconciling marketplace revenue manually at 11 PM on the last day of the quarter, you’re not solving a temporary problem, you’re managing a permanent one badly. * * * **Ready to go deeper?** We’ve built a comprehensive Finance Marketplace Best Practices Checklist that walks through everything you need to look out for.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [What’s New in January 2026](#whats-new-in-january-2026) ## **What’s New in January 2026** This month, we focused on giving partnership and sales teams the visibility and collaboration tools they need to close complex deals faster. Here’s what’s now available on Suger. ### **Introducing Multi-Partner Collaboration for Azure Referrals** **Close Azure deals faster by coordinating multiple partners in one unified workflow.** Complex enterprise deals often require expertise from multiple partners—one for Azure infrastructure, another for implementation, and Microsoft for co-sell support. Until now, managing these multi-partner engagements meant juggling email threads, spreadsheets, and manual status updates. Partners worked in silos, and deal coordination could take days or weeks. **![test-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter](/blog/migrated/d1190ba81df24880.gif?v=2026-05-12)** **What’s new:** You can now invite multiple partners to collaborate on a single Azure referral directly within Partner Center. When you create a referral, the system generates individual copies for each invited partner while maintaining a centralized Microsoft Referral Set for visibility across all participants. **How it works:** - Create your referral and invite partners from your network - Each partner receives their own copy with specific deal details, team members, and solutions they’re contributing - Partners can accept or decline invitations, and their status updates automatically - You maintain full control: only you can invite additional partners (as long as the deal is active) - Privacy is built-in: partner confidential information remains isolated unless they consent to share **Key benefits:** - **Reduce coordination time** from days to minutes by bringing all partners into one system - **Never lose visibility** into who’s contributing what to your Azure deals - **Maintain control** while enabling true collaboration across your partner ecosystem * * * ### **Salesforce Dashboard for Marketplace Performance** **Stop pulling marketplace data from three different places. See your AWS, Azure, and GCP performance in one dashboard.** Partnership and sales leaders consistently tell us the same story: “I have no idea how my marketplace business is actually performing.” Revenue is flowing through AWS, Azure, and GCP, but tracking adoption, conversion rates, and revenue trends means exporting data, building custom reports, and living in Excel hell. ![dashboard gif](/blog/migrated/c6069ecdbb845cb8.gif?v=2026-05-12) **What’s new:** Native Salesforce dashboards that visualize your marketplace performance across all three clouds—AWS, Azure, and GCP—using your existing Suger Offer and Suger Entitlement data. **What you can now track:** - **Sales & Growth:** Accepted offers per month, average acceptance time, top customers by revenue - **Funnel Performance:** Opportunities shared to cloud marketplaces, marketplace close rates, conversion metrics - **Transaction Insights:** New vs. existing customers, contract vs. pay-as-you-go splits, resale vs. direct transactions - **Financial Health:** Overdue payments, refund trends, public offer activity - **Geographic Distribution:** Transaction volume by country **Key benefits:** - **Out-of-the-box insights:** Dashboards work immediately once your data is synced—no custom development required - **Cross-cloud visibility:** See performance across AWS, Azure, and GCP in one place - **Easily customizable:** Clone and modify dashboards to match your specific reporting needs * * * ### **Co-sell Partner Contact Analytics** **See each contact’s track record and performance metrics before you engage.** When co-selling with a partner sales rep, you need context fast. What’s their win rate? What size deals do they typically close? Are they currently active? Without this visibility, partnership decisions have been based on gut feel rather than data. **![cosell](/blog/migrated/cea644ef1fafffd4.gif?v=2026-05-12)** **What’s new:** Comprehensive analytics for every partner contact across AWS, Azure, and GCP co-sell referrals. Now you can see individual contact performance, revenue attribution, and engagement history at a glance. **What you can now see:** - View contact metrics directly from the co-sell referral detail page - Quick validation panel shows snapshot metrics (active deals, YTD revenue, win rate) - Drill into complete detail page for historical trends, deal breakdowns, and time-period analysis - Filter by year and cloud partner type for deeper insights **Key benefits:** - **Make data-driven partnership decisions** with full visibility into contact performance - **Prioritize high-value relationships** with contacts who consistently deliver results If you’d like to see how these capabilities fit into your current GTM motion, we’d be happy to walk you through it. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Partnerships 101: Co-Sell on AWS, Azure & GCP URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/partnerships-101-build-a-winning-co-sell-motion-with-aws-azure-gcp/ Type: Blog 1.

You’re registered in co-sell platforms like ACE. Your partnerships and alliances team is coordinating opportunities with hyperscaler reps. Six months in, the promised pipeline hasn’t materialized, your sales team is skeptical, and your exec team is asking pointed questions about ROI. ![unnamed-2-1](/blog/migrated/6013ef212bda9d34.png?v=2026-05-12) Here’s what’s actually happening: you’re approaching cloud partnerships like a channel motion when the economics, incentives, and operational realities are fundamentally different. The hyperscaler account executive getting bombarded by a hundred ISVs this quarter isn’t ignoring you because your product isn’t good—you haven’t given them a reason to care. > Most partnerships and alliances teams inherit structural problems that sabotage co-sell before it starts. The difference isn’t the quality of your relationships—it’s how you’ve structured partner ops, your cloud partner engagement model, and attribution. * * * ## The 3 Problems That Show Up When Co-Selling With AWS, Azure & GCP ### Cloud Partnerships Are Different From Traditional Channel Partnerships Channel partnerships work because the economics are clear. A systems integrator takes 15-25% of deal value, employs a sales team with direct buyer relationships, and actively works opportunities on your behalf. They’re incentivized to close. Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP) operate fundamentally differently: **Channel Partners** **Hyperscalers (AWS/Azure/GCP)** Take 15-25% revenue share Earn 1.5-10% marketplace fees Sales team works deals for you Sales team works for cloud growth Motivated by your deal size Motivated by consumption targets Will source and close opportunities Will only engage on qualified pipeline Hyperscaler account executives earn minimal compensation on marketplace fees—maybe a small SPIFF if they hit certain deal counts. Their primary comp is tied to cloud consumption growth. They’re not working for you. They’re working to expand their customer’s cloud footprint, and your software is only relevant if it drives that outcome. This is why the “spray and pray” outreach to cloud seller teams fails. You’re asking them to do ISV-led work (source deals, run demos, close on your timeline) when they’re measured on customer cloud spend. The channel partner playbook—enable the team, send leads, offer rev share—doesn’t translate. > Your alliances team needs to reframe the relationship entirely: help hyperscaler reps hit _their_ consumption targets by showing how your product accelerates cloud adoption or increases workload density. **It is not a channel motion.** ### Why Marketplace Operations Break at Scale (And What to Automate) Partnerships and alliances leaders are hired to drive incremental revenue. However, the manual ops work associated with marketplace motions is too much. You, along with cross functional partners (RevOps, Finance, Legal, Deal Desk) are stuck: - Creating private offers in multiple cloud provider portals - Manually syncing deal status between co-sell systems and Salesforce - Tracking disbursements in spreadsheets - Reconciling marketplace fees with Finance - Maintaining opportunity registrations across AWS ACE, Azure Partner Center, and Google PSC - Updating exec dashboards with data pulled from eight different sources Your team can’t justify headcount or tooling investment until you prove the channel works. It’s a catch-22. You need systems to scale, but you can’t get systems without proving value, and you can’t prove value when 60% of your time goes to admin work instead of relationship-building and deal acceleration. The trap deepens when the same cross-functional partners become detractors instead of advocates. If partnerships and alliances teams don’t offload operational burden early, they’ll burn cycles fighting internal skepticism instead of closing deals. > Platforms like [Suger](/product-co-sell) eliminate the marketplace ops burden—automating private offers, co-sell sync, deal tracking, and billing reconciliation—so you can focus on revenue generation, not data entry. ### How to Prove Partnership ROI (The Attribution Problem) Partner-influenced revenue is the dirtiest metric in B2B SaaS. Everyone agrees it matters. No one agrees on what it means. Did the AWS account executive make the intro, or did they just join one call? Did they provide competitive intel that closed the deal, or did they forward an email? Was this a true better-together story, or did the customer find you on the marketplace after the deal was already won? Your CRO wants attribution. Your CFO wants a clean number. Your sales team wants credit. Partnerships and alliances leaders are stuck in the middle trying to defend pipeline impact with anecdotal evidence. When you can’t quantify influence, you lose budget battles. Sales argues they would’ve closed those deals anyway. Finance questions why marketplace fees are worth 3-7% of revenue. Your exec team doesn’t understand the difference between sourced, influenced, and direct—so they default to discounting your contribution entirely. Without a clear attribution framework, partnerships becomes a “nice to have” instead of a revenue system. The first time the business tightens budget, alliances teams are on the chopping block. * * * ## How to Build a Scalable Co-Sell Motion on AWS, Azure & GCP ### Build a Partnership Attribution Framework You can’t prove ROI without defining what counts. Most partnerships and alliances teams skip this step and regret it six months later when Sales and Partnerships are fighting over credit in QBRs. Start with two clean definitions: **Attribution Type** **Definition** **Example** **How to Track** **Partner-Sourced** Partner originated the opportunity before it entered your CRM AWS rep introduces your product to a customer with $5M left in their EDP commitment Deal appears in ACE/Partner Center/PSC before Salesforce **Partner-Influenced** You sourced the deal, but partner materially advanced or closed it Your AE finds opp, Azure SA joins technical validation, deal transacts via Marketplace Co-sell registration + marketplace transaction **How to Track Partner-Sourced Revenue in Your CRM:** 1. **Add “Partner Involvement” field** to Salesforce opportunity object with picklist values: Sourced / Influenced / None 2. **Define sourced/influenced criteria** in your sales methodology—document what qualifies for each category 3. **Require sales reps to mark opportunities** that originated from cloud provider intros or had material partner engagement 4. **Verify deals appeared in partner portals** (AWS ACE, Azure Partner Center, Google PSC) before your CRM for sourced classification 5. [**Automate portal-to-CRM sync**](https://doc.suger.io/cosell/cosell-configuration/) using platforms like Suger to eliminate manual tracking errors and ensure attribution accuracy in real-time **Partnership Impact Metrics That Matter to Executives:** Alliances leaders should track and report these four metrics in quarterly business reviews: - **Partner-sourced pipeline %** — How much new pipeline cloud providers generate (target: 20-30% at scale) - **Co-sell win rate** — Close rates on partner-involved deals vs direct (look for 40-60% lift) - **Sales cycle compression** — Days saved on partner-influenced deals (target: 30-40% faster) - **Marketplace ARR %** — Portion of revenue transacting through cloud marketplaces (scaling companies target 20-30%) When you can show that partner-influenced deals close 35% faster or that co-sell opportunities convert at 58% higher rates, you earn the investment to scale your alliances function. ### Execute Account Mapping with Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Sales Teams Hyperscaler account executives manage hundreds of accounts. Your outreach needs to answer one question immediately: _why should I care about this deal right now?_ The answer isn’t “we have a great product” or “we’re seeing traction in your territory.” It’s “this customer has budget, intent, and urgency—and we can help you hit your consumption target this quarter.” Effective account mapping starts with understanding the hyperscaler’s book of business. Which of your target accounts have active cloud commits (AWS EDP, Azure MACC, Google CUD)? Which ones have unused commits expiring this quarter? Which ones are mid-migration and need tooling to secure or optimize their cloud environment? Most partnerships and alliances teams approach cloud sellers with a generic pitch instead of specific account intelligence. Compare these two outreach attempts: **What Doesn’t Work** **What Does Work** ”We’re a cybersecurity company on cloud marketplaces. Do you have any customers who need security solutions?" "We’re working an opportunity at \[Account Name\], who has $8M left in their EDP expiring Q2. They’re migrating 400 workloads to AWS and need a cloud-native security posture management tool. Can we discuss co-sell?” Asking for leads Bringing qualified opportunities with budget signals Pitching product features Explaining how your solution drives cloud consumption Generic “partnership” language Specific account names, commit balances, migration timelines The second approach works because it’s grounded in the hyperscaler rep’s reality: they need that customer to consume cloud spend, and your product directly supports that goal. The tactical work for alliances teams is building collateral that enables cloud seller teams quickly—one-pagers that explain the better-together story, customer examples showing consumption lift, and deal-specific intelligence they can take into account planning calls. \[Suger’s buyer intent signals\](/resources/blog/buyer-intent-signals/ help teams identify which accounts are most likely to purchase on marketplace, giving you the intelligence you need to prioritize outreach and bring qualified opportunities to cloud sellers. ### Create a Better-Together Story for Cloud Co-Sell Co-sell isn’t transactional. It’s a flywheel: marketplace revenue earns you access to co-sell resources, which generates more marketplace revenue, which unlocks deeper engagement from hyperscaler teams. ![unnamed-2](/blog/migrated/947b33e0aca09054.png?v=2026-05-12) The framework that drives this flywheel has three layers: **1\. Co-Build** Your infrastructure runs on AWS, Azure, or GCP, which means you’re architected to serve that hyperscaler’s customers best. This isn’t just a technical claim—it’s a strategic signal. If you’re selling a data analytics platform and you’ve built native integrations with AWS Redshift, Glue, and Lake Formation, you’re not just “compatible”—you’re purpose-built to expand AWS workloads. That matters to the cloud seller trying to grow consumption. **2\. Co-Market** Joint go-to-market creates association. When buyers think “AWS migration,” they should immediately think of your category. This happens through: - Co-branded webinars and events - Marketplace promotions and featured listings - Cloud provider blog posts and case studies - Inclusion in hyperscaler reference architectures The goal is to make your product the default answer when a cloud solutions architect is designing a customer’s environment. Partnerships and alliances teams should treat this as brand-building work that compounds over time. **3\. Co-Sell** This is the ground game—registering opportunities, coordinating with cloud seller teams, sharing deal intelligence, and closing via marketplace to burn customer commits. Selling with means you’re not asking the hyperscaler rep to do your job. You’re doing the heavy lifting (prospecting, qualification, demo, negotiation) and bringing them in at the right moments: technical validation, executive alignment, procurement approvals. Companies that scale co-sell effectively treat it like a revenue system, not a relationship-management exercise. They build infrastructure on the hyperscaler’s cloud, invest in joint marketing to create category association, and execute disciplined account mapping to bring qualified pipeline to cloud seller teams. That’s what earns alliances teams the right to co-sell at scale. ### 5 Common Mistakes That Kill Co-Sell Motions **1\. No Executive Sponsorship** Partnerships and alliances can’t succeed as a bottoms-up initiative. You need your CRO or CEO actively championing the motion, setting marketplace ARR targets, and holding Sales accountable for co-sell engagement. Without exec sponsorship, cloud GTM becomes a side project that loses priority the moment deals slow down. **2\. Unclear Attribution Definitions** If Sales and Partnerships are arguing about who deserves credit, you’ve already lost. Define sourced/influenced/direct upfront, add the tracking field to your CRM, and enforce it consistently. Ambiguity creates friction, and friction kills co-sell momentum before it starts. **3\. Treating Hyperscalers Like Channel Partners** Channel partners have sales teams working for you. Hyperscalers have sales teams working for their customers. You can’t approach them the same way. Stop asking for leads. Start bringing qualified opportunities with clear consumption stories and buyer intent signals that help cloud reps hit their infrastructure growth targets. **4\. Waiting Too Long to Build Systems** Manual processes work when marketplace is 5% of ARR. They break catastrophically when you hit 15%. If you’re already seeing traction, invest in integration and automation now—before your alliances team is drowning in private offer workflows and attribution reconciliation. Platforms like [Suger](/why-suger) provide end-to-end management so you’re not rebuilding tooling from scratch. **5\. Skipping the Better-Together Story** Cloud sellers won’t engage if they don’t understand how your product drives consumption or improves customer outcomes on their platform. Build the one-pager. Create the reference architecture. Show the workload expansion. Make it easy for them to explain why partnering with you helps them hit quota. Alliances teams that skip this step wonder why their co-sell registrations go nowhere. * * * ## Closing Note Co-sell struggles typically stem from partnerships and alliances teams fighting operational chaos, attribution battles, and internal skepticism instead of executing the fundamentals that actually drive results. Fix attribution. Build account mapping discipline. Show hyperscaler reps how your product helps them hit their consumption targets. Top ISVs are running 30%+ of ARR through cloud marketplaces while their competitors are still trying to figure out why co-sell registrations don’t convert. * * * ## Ready to Start Co-Selling Like A Pro?

Here’s how to build a marketplace sales motion that actually closes. * * * ## TLDR: Key Take Aways Your product is on cloud marketplace. Your partnerships team has a co-sell motion underway (if you haven’t read our \[Partnerships 101 guide\](/resources/blog/partnerships-101-build-a-winning-co-sell-motion-with-aws-azure-gcp/, start there — it covers the alliances side). On the sales floor, most AEs are still running every deal direct. Here’s what’s actually happening: reps hear “marketplace” and think fulfillment — an alternate billing rail, not a selling advantage. When a buyer asks to transact through marketplace, it’s a fire drill. Someone Slacks alliances. Someone logs into a portal. The deal stalls while everyone figures out ownership. > 58% of companies say their sales teams are either unwilling or unprepared to engage in marketplace deals. The problem isn’t the channel — it’s that the selling motion hasn’t been designed for how reps work. This guide covers the sales execution side of Cloud GTM. If \[Partnerships 101\](/resources/blog/partnerships-101-build-a-winning-co-sell-motion-with-aws-azure-gcp/ is the playbook for alliances leaders building co-sell, this is the playbook for sales leaders and AEs closing through it. * * * ## Why You Should Be Selling On AWS, Azure or GCP Marketplace When CrowdStrike scaled its marketplace presence, transactions came in 140% larger than direct deals. The company has since crossed $1 billion transacted through AWS Marketplace. AppDynamics sees 5× higher average subscription prices. Forrester confirmed marketplace partners close deals 50% faster. The driver is committed spend. ![Bar chart showing the cloud marketplace's growing share of enterprise software spend versus direct sales](https://www.suger.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-05-21%20at%208.04.11%20PM.png?width=445&height=184&name=Screenshot%202025-05-21%20at%208.04.11%20PM.png) Software purchased through marketplace burns down that commitment — pre-approved budget, no new procurement cycle, and a buyer financially motivated to close. Co-selling amplifies the advantage: the cloud provider’s field rep works your deal because your transaction drives their consumption targets, giving you an internal champion with existing buyer relationships and budget visibility. The commission concern? Best-in-class orgs are comp neutral. Many go comp positive (1.1–1.25×) to drive adoption. **Cloud marketplace deals vs. direct sales:** **Metric** **Marketplace Performance** **Source** Deal size Up to 140% larger CrowdStrike Average subscription price Up to 5× higher AppDynamics Close speed 27–50% faster Forrester Revenue growth (co-sell) 51% higher Canalys 2024 Close rate (co-sell) 65% higher Canalys 2024 Net-new revenue 62% of companies Partner Insight 2025 * * * ## The Biggest Challenges While Selling On Cloud Marketplaces The friction doesn’t show up in a strategy deck. It shows up mid-deal. Walk through a marketplace transaction chronologically and the failure points become clear — each one compounds the next. Here are the most common problems teams face while selling on cloud marketplaces such as AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Marketplace (Azure), or Google Cloud Marketplace (GCP). ### Prospecting: Reps don’t know which deals to pitch marketplace to Most reps consider marketplace only when the buyer brings it up. Without buyer intent signals in the CRM — a mix of cloud-provided engagement scores (like AWS ISV Accelerate metrics) and proprietary propensity indicators — there’s no data-driven way to prioritize marketplace during territory planning. Reps default to direct because it’s familiar, not because it’s faster. ### Deal intelligence: Co-sell data doesn’t reach the rep Co-selling isn’t a referral mechanism. When it works, the hyperscaler’s field rep provides intelligence you can’t get from discovery alone — which stakeholder controls the cloud budget, whether there’s a consolidation initiative underway, how urgently the customer needs to draw down commitment this quarter. Most reps never access this. They don’t know the cloud sales rep for their target account or whether their company has an active co-sell relationship with a CSP. When co-sell activity does happen, the signals — referral status, partner engagement, hyperscaler feedback — don’t flow back in time to act on. This is inseparable from trust. When reps don’t see value coming back from co-sell, and when comp plans don’t explicitly address marketplace deals, they disengage. Marketplace revenue flatlines — not because the channel doesn’t work, but because reps have no reason to believe it works _for them_. > Your partnerships team is building hyperscaler relationships and account mapping. The gap is getting that intelligence into the AE’s hands — in the CRM, at the right moment, with context to act. ### Execution: The rep loses control of the deal timeline The buyer agrees to transact through marketplace. Now the rep waits — for alliances or ops to log into a portal, configure pricing, attach terms, and publish the offer. If it’s end of quarter, there’s a queue. If there’s a data mismatch, the cycle restarts. The rep didn’t create the bottleneck, but the rep’s deal stalls. ### Post-offer: Visibility lags at the worst moment Once the offer is out, marketplace deal stages don’t always sync to the CRM in real time. Reps can’t follow up with the right urgency, and leaders can’t accurately forecast. The information exists — it just doesn’t reach the rep fast enough to act on. Every stage compounds. A rep who can’t identify marketplace-fit accounts, can’t access co-sell intelligence, can’t self-serve an offer, and can’t track its status has four reasons to route the deal direct. Fix the motion, and the channel works. * * * ## How To Sell Effectively On Cloud Marketplaces The companies generating real marketplace revenue haven’t just deployed a tool — they’ve redesigned the selling motion.  ![Sales rep CRM workflow showing identified marketplace deals, buyer intent signals, and a clear path to close](https://www.suger.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-20-2024-10-47-54-1075-PM.png?width=1347&height=550&name=image-png-Nov-20-2024-10-47-54-1075-PM.png) Below is an actionable plan on how to sell effectively on cloud marketplaces such as AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Marketplace (Azure), or Google Cloud Marketplace (GCP). ### Unblock stalled deals: fix comp first If marketplace deals create any ambiguity about quota retirement, commission timing, or fee absorption, reps default to direct. Comp neutral is table stakes. Go comp positive (1.1× retirement, spiffs) for two to four quarters. If deals close 40% faster and run 80% larger, paying 110% commission is a net gain. By quarter three, reps choose marketplace because the results are self-evident. ### Work the right deals: surface buyer intent signals in the pipeline Reps need to see — on the CRM record — which accounts show marketplace buying signals. This means surfacing cloud-provided engagement scores alongside proprietary intent indicators that answer: _should I pitch marketplace on this deal?_ Keep CRM and marketplace data in sync so deal status is always current. Use real-time pipeline visibility to make marketplace deals as forecastable as direct ones. ### Increase velocity: let Sales execute from the CRM The highest-impact change: reps create and send private offers from Salesforce or HubSpot in minutes. No Slack request. No handoff. The offer auto-populates from CPQ data, publishes to the right marketplace, and notifications via Slack and email keep reps informed at every stage — viewed, accepted, expiring. This frees alliances and ops teams for strategic work. Platforms like [Suger](/) bring this execution into the CRM so reps control the deal end-to-end. ### Co-sell with hyperscalers: turn partner enablement into deal intelligence Co-sell becomes valuable when it delivers intelligence that helps close — not just a referral receipt. The impact: a cloud partner tells your rep “you’re talking to the wrong stakeholder — the budget sits with their VP of Infrastructure.” Or co-sell data surfaces a commitment expiring next quarter, adding urgency the rep didn’t know existed. Reps should create co-sell opportunities from Salesforce with auto-filled data. Automate registration through CRM triggers. Track shared opportunity performance — not referrals submitted, but deals where the partner actively engaged. **What changes for the rep — before and after:** **Rep Action** **Before (Manual)** **After (CRM-Native)** Decide to pitch marketplace Gut feel, or buyer asks first Buyer intent signals on the opp record Create a private offer Slack alliances → portal entry → 24–48hrs Click in Salesforce → auto-populates from CPQ → minutes Register co-sell 10–15 min per deal in partner portal Auto-triggered at deal stage, data pre-filled Track offer status Log into portal or ping ops Slack/email alert on view, accept, expiry Get cloud partner intel Ask alliances if anyone knows the AWS rep Partner rep name + engagement history in CRM Forecast the deal Marketplace stage lives outside CRM Same pipeline, same stages, same visibility * * * ## Why You’re Not Getting Any Revenue From AWS, Azure or GCP Marketplace **1\. Treating marketplace as fulfillment.** If reps only use it when the buyer asks, you’re capturing a fraction of the opportunity. Use buyer intent signals to identify marketplace-fit accounts proactively. **2\. Letting marketplace ops stall deal execution.** Every handoff is a stall point. Self-serve from the CRM or accept that every marketplace deal carries a delay direct deals don’t. **3\. Leaving comp ambiguous.** If reps don’t know how marketplace deals count toward quota, they default to direct. Spell it out before the quarter starts. **4\. Keeping co-sell intelligence siloed.** Your alliances team is building hyperscaler relationships. If deal intelligence doesn’t flow to the AE, it’s wasted effort. **5\. Forecasting marketplace separately.** Same CRM pipeline. Same stages. Same visibility. Otherwise your forecast is wrong and reps don’t get credit. * * * ## Closing Note 62% percent of companies now generate net-new revenue through cloud marketplaces. The buyer demand and committed budgets are there. The listing, offers and co-sell infrastructure is there. The gap is the sales motion — whether reps can identify marketplace-fit accounts, access deal intelligence from cloud partners, self-serve offers, and forecast with confidence. The best reps won’t avoid this channel. They’ll choose it — because it’s where the budget already is and the path to quota is shorter. * * * ## Cloud Marketplace Cheat Sheet for Sales We’ve created the Cloud Marketplace Cheat Sheet for Sales - a single-page reference Sales teams can use for any marketplace deal!

Here’s what’s new. * * * ## **Co-Sell with Multiple Partners on AWS** Enterprise deals rarely involve just one partner. Someone handles infrastructure, someone else owns implementation, and the cloud provider is coordinating in the background. Last month, we shipped multi-partner collaboration for Azure referrals. This month, we’re bringing the same capability to AWS. ![Multi-partner AWS co-sell view in Suger — inviting implementation, resell, and consulting partners into a shared opportunity](/blog/migrated/e1c08383383d715d.png?v=2026-05-12) **What’s new:** You can now share your AWS co-sell opportunities with multiple partners directly within Suger, building relationships and co-supporting buyers from a single workflow. **Why it matters:** Multi-partner deals on AWS have historically meant side conversations, forwarded emails, and manual tracking across systems. Now, every partner involved in a deal has shared context from the start. **How teams use this:** Invite implementation, resell, or consulting partners into a single AWS opportunity. Track partner engagement and contributions in one place. Keep buyers supported by the right partners at each stage of the deal. * * * ## **AWS Marketing Insights: Buy with AWS Dashboard** If you’re running a product-led growth motion on AWS Marketplace, you need clear visibility into how buyers move from product interest to marketplace procurement. ![Buy with AWS dashboard inside Suger showing web traffic, engagement rates, and agreement volume with year-over-year trends](/blog/migrated/b1ee0e5cbbeb028e.png?v=2026-05-12) **What’s new:** The Marketing Insights tab now surfaces a Buy with AWS dashboard directly inside Suger. You get current month metrics, year-over-year performance comparisons, and 12-month trend visualizations focused on the signals that matter most: web traffic, engagement rates, and agreement volume from buyers using your Buy with AWS CTAs. **Why it matters:** This gives marketing and partnership teams a shared, always-current view of where prospects convert and where they drop off—inside the same platform where deals get executed. **What’s coming next:** If you’re enrolled in AWS Marketplace Seller Prime, you’ll soon also get access to Customer Agreements, Listing Performance, and Search Performance dashboards. All in Suger. * * * ## **Offer History in Salesforce** Deals move through a lot of stages—draft, pending creation, pending acceptance, accepted—and when something goes sideways, the first question is always “what happened and when?” ![Full offer history timeline in Salesforce — every state change, notification, and action with timestamps and attribution](/blog/migrated/be617ad34e36c538.png?v=2026-05-12) **What’s new:** A full offer history timeline is now available directly within Salesforce. Every state change, notification, and action is logged with timestamps, status badges, and attribution so you can see exactly what happened at each step. **Why it matters:** The full audit trail lives where your team already works. Whether you’re troubleshooting a stalled offer or confirming acceptance, the context is right there. * * * ## **Azure Multi-Currency Offer Creation** **What’s new:** You can now create Azure offers for products with multi-currency, per-market pricing models directly from the Suger console and Salesforce. ![Multi-currency Azure offer creation form in Suger with per-market pricing fields](/blog/migrated/98e261f9530453be.png?v=2026-05-12) **Why it matters:** Teams selling across European, APAC, and other markets can handle multi-currency deal execution from the same system they use for everything else—keeping process clean and reducing pricing errors. * * * ## **Azure Application Product Offers** **What’s new:** You can now create offers for Azure Application products—solutions that deploy directly into the buyer’s Azure tenant, including managed applications and solution templates—from the Suger console and Salesforce. **Why it matters:** ISVs selling Azure-deployed solutions get the same streamlined offer creation experience across all their product types, whether SaaS or Azure Application. If you’d like to see how these capabilities fit into your current cloud GTM motion, we’d be happy to walk you through it. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Product Updates: March 2026 URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/product-updates-march-2026/ Type: Blog 1.

Suger is making these operational from day one, inside the systems your team already runs deals from. Here’s what’s new. * * * ## **AWS Partner Central Agents, now in Suger** When you share an opportunity into AWS co-sell, your team now gets AI-powered guidance on that record directly inside Salesforce or the Suger console. No tab-switching, no digging through Partner Central. ![AWS Partner Central Agents showing opportunity insights in the Suger console](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image9.png) The agent surfaces what’s relevant to that specific deal: where the opportunity stands, what needs to happen to move it forward, which AWS funding programs it qualifies for, and what gaps exist between the current opportunity state and eligibility requirements. This runs on AWS Partner Central agents, now accessible through the Suger widget in SFDC, and the Suger console. ![AWS Partner Central Agents accessible through the Suger widget in Salesforce](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image8.png) The intelligence is contextual to the opportunity you’re looking at, not generic guidance you have to apply yourself. For co-sell and alliances teams, this changes the daily workflow. Funding research that previously meant navigating documentation and cross-referencing opportunity fields now happens on the record, in the tool your team already lives in. * * * ## **Suger Widget: Now organized around how deals actually get executed** The Suger widget in Salesforce is now organized into four dedicated tabs: Marketplace, Co-Sell, Funding, and Insights. ![Suger Widget organized into four tabs: Marketplace, Co-Sell, Funding, and Insights](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image5.png) Previously, everything lived in a single view. That worked at lower volume, but as teams scale their cloud GTM motion, the lack of separation creates friction. Marketplace offer status, co-sell activity, and funding requests are different workflows run by different people, and they belong in different places. What’s changed: - **Marketplace:** Offers, entitlements, and revenue in one view - **Co-Sell:** All co-sell activity, fully separated from transactional work - **Funding:** Submit and manage funding requests, visible only to users with the right permissions - **Insights:** AI-powered guidance from AWS Partner Central agents, scoped to the open opportunity The permission-based visibility means each person sees what’s relevant to their role. The tab structure also sets the foundation for where Suger is taking the Insights tab next. * * * ## **AWS Marketplace Seller Prime dashboards, now in Suger** In February, Suger surfaced the Buy with AWS dashboard inside the console. For teams enrolled in AWS Marketplace Seller Prime, three more dashboards are now available: Listing Performance, Customer Agreements, and Search Performance. ![AWS Marketplace Seller Prime dashboards showing Listing Performance, Customer Agreements, and Search Performance](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image3.png) Each dashboard shows current month metrics, year-over-year comparisons, and 12-month trend data. The same format as Buy with AWS: always current, no manual exports, no switching between systems. What each dashboard covers: - **Listing Performance:** Traffic volumes and the steps buyers take to subscribe to your products - **Customer Agreements:** An overview of active agreements and the customers subscribed to your listings - **Search Performance:** How your listings perform in AWS Marketplace search For marketing and partnerships teams, this is the shared view that’s been missing. Conversion signals, agreement volume, and search visibility in one place, inside the platform where deals get executed. Seller Prime enrollment is required to access these dashboards. * * * ## **Three new AWS funding types, now in Suger** Suger now supports three additional AWS funding types: PIF: SCA GenAI Proof of Concept Funding, PIF: SCA GenAI Marketing Development Funds, and MPOPP Grow. ![Three new AWS funding types now supported in Suger](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image4.png) A quick breakdown of what each covers: - **PIF: SCA GenAI Proof of Concept Funding:** For partners with AWS Strategic Collaboration Agreements, this funds GenAI proof of concept engagements with customers, covering costs to validate and scope GenAI use cases on AWS. - **PIF: SCA GenAI Marketing Development Funds:** Also SCA-tied, this funds go-to-market activities specifically around GenAI demand generation and pipeline development. - **MPOPP Grow:** The growth tier of the AWS Marketplace Private Offer Promotion Program. Established marketplace sellers can use this to offer AWS Promotional Credits to customers, accelerating deal closure and driving renewals. All three are now visible and manageable inside Suger alongside your existing funding programs. If you’re using the co-sell agent in Salesforce, eligibility for these programs surfaces automatically when an opportunity qualifies. * * * ## **Process AWS Marketplace cancellations and billing adjustments without a support ticket** Until now, processing a cancellation or billing adjustment through AWS Marketplace meant filing a support ticket, waiting for manual review, and chasing status. Average resolution time: seven or more days. Suger is a launch partner for AWS’s Self-Service Cancellations and Billing Adjustments (SCABA), and the workflows are supported natively in the platform today. ![SCABA self-service billing adjustments in Suger](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image6.png) What you can do now: - **Billing Adjustments (refunds and invoice corrections):** Submit directly from within Suger. Agreement and invoice data is pre-populated. Processes automatically in five to ten minutes, no support ticket or approval required. - **Agreement Cancellations:** Initiate with a reason and submit directly. The buyer receives a notification to approve or deny. If there’s no response within seven days, it auto-approves. ![SCABA agreement cancellation flow in Suger](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image1.png) For any team managing agreements at scale, this removes one of the most consistently slow steps in the post-sale process. * * * ## **AWS Offer Sets: Close multi-product deals with one acceptance flow** Multi-product deals on AWS Marketplace used to mean sending buyers multiple separate private offers. One per product, one acceptance flow each. AWS Offer Sets changes that. You can now package multiple private offers into a single transactable unit. The buyer accepts once. Separate agreements are created per product post-purchase. ![AWS Offer Sets packaging multiple private offers into one acceptance flow](/images/blog/product-updates-march-2026/image7.png) For teams selling platform plus services bundles, multi-product packages, or running partner-attached deals, this is live now in Suger. The commercial structure stays intact. The buyer experience gets significantly cleaner. * * * ## **AWS Concurrent Agreements: Run expansion deals without waiting for renewal** AWS Marketplace previously limited buyers to one active agreement per product per account. Expansion meant workarounds: waiting until renewal to restructure terms, or stitching together manual processes to handle mid-cycle growth. Concurrent Agreements removes that constraint. Buyers can now hold multiple active agreements for the same product, each with its own pricing, terms, and entitlements. Expansion deals close when the business moment is right, not when the contract calendar allows. A few things worth knowing: - Professional Services listings get this automatically - Existing SaaS listings require an opt-in, which Suger manages - New SaaS listings created after June 1, 2026 will require Concurrent Agreements If you want to get ahead of the June deadline, reach out and Suger will handle the opt-in. * * * A lot shipped this month, and these capabilities are available for Suger customers now! If you want to see how any of them fit into what you’re running today, [book a demo](/schedule-demo). ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Product Updates: April 2026 URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/product-updates-april-2026/ Type: Blog 1.

Most of these replace work that used to live in spreadsheets, custom integrations, or manual rekey. Here’s what’s new. * * * ## **Suger MCP: Run your cloud marketplace motion with AI** The Suger MCP Server is live. Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, or any other Model Context Protocol-compatible client to Suger, and run marketplace operations in natural language. ![Suger MCP showing pending disbursement revenue queried in natural language across AWS and Azure for April 2026](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image8.png) The server exposes more than 120 tools spanning the full Suger API — offers, entitlements, buyers, billing, metering, support, and co-sell. Anything possible in the console or via the REST API works in conversation. What that looks like in practice: - _“Create a private offer for Acme Corp on AWS with a 20% discount”_ - _“Show me all entitlements expiring in the next 30 days”_ - _“Generate a revenue report for Q4”_ - _“Report usage for entitlement ent-123”_ - _“What support tickets are open right now?”_ Engineers live in their IDE, sellers in their CRM, finance in reporting tools. MCP gives each of them direct access to marketplace operations without leaving the tool they already work in. * * * ## **AI Mapping for Co-Sell and Funding** Every co-sell referral and every funding request requires translating CRM fields into the marketplace’s required format — picklist values, derived dates, country codes, business-appropriate descriptions. Until now, that translation happened in custom integrations or by hand. ![AI Auto Fill Mapping configuration in Suger, translating Salesforce industry picklist values to AWS-required categories like Agriculture, Consumer Goods, Banking, Financial Services, and Life Sciences](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image1.png) Suger now supports four mapping modes for any co-sell or funding field: - **Direct:** Copies a CRM value as-is. Best when the source already matches the target format. - **Expression:** A constant or transformation. Good for fixed values like “Alliance Lead” or combining first and last name. - **Default Value:** Fills only when the source is empty — safe fallbacks like USD or US. - **AI Generate:** Prompt-based inference from other mapped fields. Use it for date offsets (“close date plus 14 days”), business justifications from opportunity notes, or country inference from billing addresses. Picklist mapping handles fields with controlled vocabularies — translating “United States” in the CRM to “US” in the target schema, or CRM opportunity stages to AWS co-sell stages. The same engine powers both co-sell and funding submissions. Configure it once per integration, and every submission across providers and program types uses it. Setup time drops on every new integration, and submissions pass validation more often. * * * ## **Account Mapping: Identify cloud account owners before you share the referral** Identifying who owns the AWS, Azure, or GCP relationship for a customer account has always been a manual exercise — lists in spreadsheets, data stale within days, no system of record. Sellers often don’t know who their cloud counterpart is until after the referral goes out. Account Mapping replaces that workflow. ![Salesforce opportunity record with the Suger widget showing AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud engagement scores plus Marketplace, Co-Sell, Funding, and Insights tabs for predicted account ownership](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image6.gif) - **Predicted ownership.** Suger predicts the most likely AWS, Azure, or GCP account owner for any Salesforce account, surfaced on the account record via the Suger widget. - **Reportable data model.** Ownership lives in Salesforce and the Suger Console, not in email threads. - **Historical co-sell context.** A new AE inheriting an account can pull up the cloud rep profile and see prior co-sell activity. Partner Ops stops running on spreadsheets, and AEs know their cloud counterpart before the co-sell referral goes out. * * * ## **AWS Funding Requests, now with AI-powered insights** AWS funding requests can now be submitted directly from Suger, in both the Suger Console and the Suger widget in Salesforce. Supported programs: - MAP Cash Claim - Proof of Concept - ISV Workload Migration - Market Development Funds - PIF SCA GenAI POC - PIF SCA GenAI MDF - MPOPP Grow ![Salesforce opportunity record with the Suger widget showing Marketplace, Co-Sell, Funding, and Insights tabs, including Engagement Score, AWS Opportunity Insights, and Funding Insights panels on a "Negotiation & Commitment" stage opportunity](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image4.gif) Submissions use the AI mapping engine above. Start and end dates derive from close dates, business justifications generate from opportunity notes, and currencies and countries flow through picklist mapping. The manual rekey from Salesforce to AWS becomes a one-click submission. AWS Partner Central Agents — introduced last month — now reach into the funding workflow. The agent checks whether an opportunity qualifies for specific funding programs, flags missing fields, estimates the potential POC funding amount, and pre-populates the application. Everything appears in the Funding Insights tab of the Suger widget at the opportunity level. * * * ## **Co-Sell Metrics Dashboard: Performance, actions, and workflow in one view** Co-sell programs produce a lot of signal — referrals submitted, accepted, declined, won, lost, stuck — but most teams have no consolidated view. Diagnosing a drop in win rate means manual investigation across systems. The new Co-Sell Metrics Dashboard puts the full picture in three tabs. ![Suger Co-Sell Metrics Dashboard Performance tab showing 81% AWS win rate, 91% Azure win rate, 23 closed-won opportunities, $58K total revenue, top performers, and a 30-day win-rate trend chart](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image2.png) The **Performance tab** tracks program health: - Overall win rate with trend versus the previous period - Win rate split by provider — Azure, AWS, GCP - Top cloud partner contacts ranked by referrals - Closed-won opportunities with revenue by provider, total revenue, and average deal size - Trend charts for win rate and activity volume The **Actions tab** surfaces what needs intervention: - Top failure reasons ranked by frequency, each with a recommended fix and an **AI Auto-Fix** toggle that resolves known errors automatically - **AI Auto Cleanup** for duplicate referrals — confidence-scored, removed in one click after a review modal (the original stays, duplicates are soft-deleted) - Referrals needing user action, surfaced before they go stale - Inbound referrals pending acceptance The **Workflow tab** logs every automated execution — outbound sync, inbound sync, auto-share. Filterable by provider, workflow type, and status. Includes error details, retry on failure, and CSV export. The Actions tab is built to absorb investigations that used to generate support tickets — sellers can self-serve on most failure patterns rather than escalating. * * * ## **Notifications: Route to CRM record owners, not hard-coded email addresses** Notification recipients used to be hard-coded email addresses. That works at low volume, but at scale, deal owners regularly miss events about their own deals unless someone manually adds them to every trigger. ![Suger Notifications configuration showing Create Offer, Accept Offer, and Expire Offer triggers with CRM-role-based recipients including Opportunity Owner and Account Owner alongside static email addresses](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image3.png) Notification triggers now support **CRM role-based recipients** in TO, CC, and BCC fields. Pick from Opportunity Owner, Account Owner, Primary Contact, Deal Owner, or a custom CRM field expression. Roles appear as pills alongside static email addresses — same shape as the existing UI, visually distinct so dynamic recipients are obvious. At send time, Suger resolves each role to an email from the linked CRM record. If no record is linked, the role is skipped. When a deal owner changes in Salesforce, the notification routing follows automatically. * * * ## **Chrome Extension for AWS PRM Tagging** AWS Partner Revenue Measurement requires tagging resources with the correct marketplace product code across services and accounts. The setup is buried in a sixty-page onboarding guide and involves retrieving codes, navigating between services, tagging by hand, and managing compliance across accounts. ![Suger PRM Tagging Chrome Extension running in the AWS console alongside the Applications panel and Cost and Usage dashboard, with a side panel for chatting with Suger about marketplace resource tagging](/images/blog/product-updates-april-2026/image5.png) Suger’s PRM Tagging Chrome Extension automates it. - Applies the correct `aws:marketplace:productCode` resource tags automatically - Maintains compliance without CLI or CloudFormation - Onboards customers to PRM in minutes instead of hours - Scales tagging across multiple AWS accounts For ISVs running multiple SaaS listings, this turns PRM from a custom integration project into a browser extension. * * * A lot shipped this month, and these capabilities are available for Suger customers now.

Suger AI is the copilot built into the Suger Console. It opens in a side panel on every page, knows which offer, referral, or product you’re looking at, and can answer questions, pre-fill forms, troubleshoot failures, and navigate you to where you need to go next. ![Suger AI chat panel open on the offer list, answering "show me my pending offers" with an inline table of three offers, each with status, customer, and value](/images/blog/meet-suger-ai-the-in-product-copilot/hero.gif) This post walks through what Suger AI sees, what it can actually do, and how it works underneath. Deeper guides on each capability are linked at the bottom. * * * ## **It already knows what you’re looking at** Most copilots make you describe your situation before they help. Suger AI starts with the context the console already has. When you open the chat panel, it picks up: - The route you’re on — `/offer`, `/cosell/`, `/integration/aws-ace`, anywhere - The current entity — the specific offer, referral, product, or buyer record - Recent errors — failed offer creations, sync errors, validation messages - Form state — what’s filled in, what’s missing, what’s invalid ![Suger AI side panel automatically picking up the current offer ID from the URL and the failed-validation banner on the page, then answering a question grounded in that context](/images/blog/meet-suger-ai-the-in-product-copilot/context-awareness.gif) That means “why did this fail?” works without you pasting an error message. “Create a private offer like this one for Globex” works without you giving it the offer ID. The page is the context. * * * ## **What it can do** Suger AI is more than a Q&A assistant. It can query your data, take actions on your behalf, and walk you through workflows. **Query your marketplace data.** Ask in plain English — _“which offers are accepted but not purchased?”_, _“how much pipeline is at risk this quarter?”_, _“show me all healthcare deals”_. The agent runs against your live Suger data and returns inline tables, charts, and summaries. **Pre-fill forms and dialogs.** Tell it _“create a 12-month subscription offer for Acme at 20% off,”_ and it opens the offer creation form with the fields populated. You review, edit, and submit. **Troubleshoot failures.** When an offer or co-sell referral fails to create, Suger AI auto-opens with a diagnosis — _“AWS rejected this because dimension key `data-units` contains a hyphen; AWS only allows letters, digits, and underscores.”_ Click _Edit Draft_ and it navigates you to the form with the fix already staged. **Navigate the console.** Ask _“take me to my Salesforce integration settings”_ and you’re there. Useful when you don’t remember where a feature lives. **Search docs and knowledge.** AWS, Azure, GCP documentation plus Suger’s own knowledge base are searchable from the same chat thread, so you don’t context-switch to find an answer. * * * ## **How it works** Suger AI is a LangGraph ReAct agent — a reasoning + acting loop that lets the agent decide which tools to call, in what order, based on what you’ve asked. The default model is Claude 3.5 Sonnet, with BYOK (bring-your-own-key) support for teams who’d rather route inference through their own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Azure OpenAI account. The agent has access to three categories of tools: - **Frontend tools** read the current UI state, fill forms, click buttons, take screenshots, and trigger navigation. These are how the agent acts in the console. - **Data tools** query the Suger database for offers, products, buyers, entitlements, referrals, and contacts. The agent can also run safe parameterized SQL when a question needs a one-off shape. - **MCP tools** connect to external systems — AWS, Salesforce, HubSpot, knowledge bases — via the Model Context Protocol. Anything available through a Suger integration is reachable from the chat. ![Animated tool-call flow — user clicks "Show me all my products", the agent emits Reading page → Fetching products → Preparing table tool calls, then renders the 543-row result inline with Export CSV and filter follow-ups](/images/blog/meet-suger-ai-the-in-product-copilot/tools-mcp.gif) Tool calls are visible inline as cards in the chat — you can see exactly which query ran, with which arguments, before the result renders. No black box. * * * ## **The deeper guides** Suger AI shows up across the product in four shipped surfaces. Each has its own guide: - **[AI Opportunity Insights](/resources/guides/ai-opportunity-insights)** — AWS-powered insight cards on co-sell referrals, with one-click prompts to progress an opportunity. - **[AI Diagnose for Offer Failures](/resources/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures)** — failed offer? The chat auto-opens with the specific reason and a one-click path to fix it. - **[AI Diagnose for Co-Sell Failures](/resources/guides/ai-diagnose-cosell-failures)** — same hook, for failed AWS ACE, Azure Deal Reg, and GCP referrals. - **[AI Field Mapping & Prompt Templates](/resources/guides/ai-field-mapping-prompts)** — how AI Auto Fill writes your CRM ↔ marketplace field mappings, and how to author the prompt templates behind it. * * * ## **Try it** Suger AI is live for every Suger customer. Open the Console and click the chat panel — it’s already there, already in context.

Partnerships make that number explode. Every company brings another sales team, finance team, legal team, partner ops team, systems, and incentives into the process. One enterprise deal can easily span a hundred people across multiple organizations. It feels like the cast of Office Space. Everyone is chasing the process instead of the customer. PRM traditionally stands for Partner Relationship Management. In my experience, the relationship is almost never the thing that breaks. Two companies figure out they’re better off selling together. Customers overlap, products fit, somebody picks up the phone. People who want to work together usually find a way. What breaks is everything after the handshake. A great deal sits in an inbox for a week. Reps stop registering deals because they can’t find the portal password. Two teams claim the same opportunity. Finance spends quarter-end reconciling partner payouts in spreadsheets. When the board asks what the partner program contributed, nobody has an answer they trust. Revenue execution takes a village. And the village is paying the tax. ## Why we ended up here We didn’t set out to build a PRM. We started Suger to bring a consumer-grade experience to B2B revenue. The first place we focused was [cloud marketplaces](/platform/) because they are one of the hardest revenue motions in software. Every cloud has different rules. Every transaction crosses multiple systems. Money moves in ways that are genuinely difficult to follow. Customers naturally started asking us to support [co-selling](/platform/cosell/) because the relationship with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud begins long before the transaction reaches the marketplace. Then, the same conversations kept coming up with resellers, GSIs, distributors, and technology partners. One customer put it well. > It’s often not a one-to-one relationship. We might be co-selling with AWS and a channel partner on the same deal. Three companies. Three systems. Three claims on the same revenue. Once we had built the engine to coordinate that kind of transaction, we realized the partner type didn’t really matter. The underlying work was always the same. Coordinate the opportunity. Track attribution. Apply program rules. Move the money. Give every team the same answer. So we pointed the engine at the rest of the partner ecosystem. ## What Suger PRM does [Suger PRM](/prm/) runs partner revenue across resellers, GSIs, ISVs, distributors, technology partners, and cloud providers on the same platform. Specifically: - Deal registration inside your CRM, where your sales team already works. - Attribution for deals involving multiple partners. - Automated partner payouts based on your program rules, pushed directly into your AP system. - White-labeled partner portal. - Partner training with a built-in LMS. - A single source of truth for partner operations, sales, finance, and leadership. - Deployment in under five days with per-partner pricing. We built the system that runs the work after companies decide to partner. ## Where we’re headed Suger is becoming the modern stack for how companies generate revenue across every channel. We’re rebuilding the apps that run the transaction lifecycle, one part at a time. Marketplace was the first. Partner revenue is second. Finance is next. Every finance team we meet is still reconciling indirect revenue by hand across disconnected systems. Each app fixes the plumbing for one stage of the transaction lifecycle. Underneath all of them is Insulin, doing the coordination work no human was ever going to scale through. I’ll share more thoughts later on Insulin, our agent platform, built to run securely across our apps and yours, with memory to get smarter with each use. Our belief is that the “village” should focus on revenue-generating work instead of suffering from the coordination tax. Today, Suger PRM is live in production with customers. Insulin enters private beta this quarter. If your partner revenue still depends on spreadsheets, portals, and people keeping the process alive by sheer force of will, we’d [love to show you another way](/schedule-demo/). ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Product Updates: June 2026 URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/product-updates-june-2026/ Type: Blog 1.

The theme running through all of it: take the parts of the cloud GTM motion that still live in separate tools or manual work, and move them into the systems your team already runs deals from. Here’s what’s new. * * * ## **Suger Co-Sell MCP: Run your co-sell motion inside your AI tools** Last month Suger launched the MCP Server, exposing the full Suger API to any Model Context Protocol–compatible client. This month, the co-sell motion gets its own dedicated surface. ![Suger Co-Sell MCP answering a natural-language co-sell query inside Claude / Cursor](/images/blog/product-updates-june-2026/cosell-mcp.png) The Suger Co-Sell MCP puts referral operations directly into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-compatible client. Instead of opening the console or the CRM to work a referral, your team can drive the whole motion in natural language. What that looks like in practice: - _“Draft an outbound co-sell referral for the Acme opportunity and share it to AWS”_ - _“Show me every inbound referral pending acceptance”_ - _“Which referrals are stuck, and why?”_ - _“Sync the latest co-sell status back to Salesforce”_ Alliance and co-sell teams don’t live in an IDE the way engineers do — but they increasingly live alongside an AI assistant. The Co-Sell MCP meets them there, so working a referral doesn’t mean context-switching into yet another tab. * * * ## **Collaboration Score, now visible where you work the account** Suger’s Co-Sell Metrics Dashboard already ranked cloud partner contacts by referral volume. But volume is a blunt signal — a contact racking up low-value touches can outrank the one actually moving deals forward. The Collaboration Score fixes that. ![Collaboration Score shown inline in the Suger widget, the account mapping list, and a cloud rep profile](/images/blog/product-updates-june-2026/collaboration-score.png) The Collaboration Score grades each cloud contact on the quality of their engagement, not just how often they show up. It weighs the substance of the interactions rather than raw activity count, so the contacts genuinely driving the relationship rise to the top. The score surfaces in three places: - **Salesforce widget**: The score appears inline on the record, so an AE can see which cloud contact actually matters on the deal without leaving Salesforce. - **Account mapping list**: Scores render across the list view, so Partner Ops can sort and prioritize contacts by engagement quality at a glance. - **Cloud rep profile**: The score sits alongside the rep’s co-sell history, giving context on the strength of the relationship an AE is inheriting. Ranking by quality instead of volume changes who your team invests in — surfacing the cloud contacts worth deepening, and flagging the ones who look active but aren’t. * * * ## **AI Field Mapping: Generate a mapping rule from a one-line prompt** Suger’s AI mapping engine already supports four modes for translating CRM fields into a marketplace’s required format — Direct, Expression, Default Value, and AI Generate. Configuring each field still meant choosing the mode and defining the rule. This month adds a shortcut. ![Prompt Generator turning a single-field prompt into a complete mapping rule](/images/blog/product-updates-june-2026/ai-field-mapping.png) The new Prompt Generator builds the mapping rule for you. Describe the field you want in a single prompt, and Suger generates the rule — picking the appropriate mode, wiring the source fields, and handling the transformation logic. Instead of configuring the mapping by hand, you describe the outcome and refine what comes back. Setup time on every new integration drops again, and the rules land in a format that’s still fully editable — the generator gives you a starting point, not a black box. * * * ## **SCA Tracking: See your marketplace commitment progress for the year** Partners with a Strategic Collaboration Agreement carry annual marketplace commitments, but tracking progress against those goals has meant exporting revenue data and reconciling it against the agreement by hand. ![SCA Tracking view showing annual marketplace goal, attainment to date, and pace](/images/blog/product-updates-june-2026/sca-tracking.png) SCA Tracking calculates your marketplace goal for the year and tracks attainment against it inside Suger. You get a running view of committed target versus realized marketplace revenue, so alliance and finance teams know where they stand against the SCA without building the report themselves. For teams whose partner tier and funding access depend on hitting those numbers, this turns a periodic reconciliation exercise into a number that’s always current. * * * ## **AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Azure AI Foundry support** The marketplace motion is expanding to where AI products actually get distributed. Suger now supports AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure AI Foundry. ![Suger managing a model / agent listing across Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Azure AI Foundry](/images/blog/product-updates-june-2026/aws-bedrock.png) For ISVs bringing models and AI agents to market, these are the channels buyers are increasingly starting from. Suger brings them into the same platform you already use to run listings, offers, and billing across the AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces — so a new distribution surface doesn’t become a new operational silo. * * * A lot shipped this month, and these capabilities are available for Suger customers now!

The answer is no longer just “add more content.” Partners need structure, motivation, and a clear sense of progress. They need to know what to do next, why it matters, and how their effort connects to growth. That is where PRM Journeys become a powerful part of the partner experience. ## What PRM Journeys do Journeys give organizations a scalable way to guide partners through the full lifecycle, from initial onboarding to certification, content refreshers, tier progression, and long-term performance growth. Instead of leaving partners to search through a portal and figure out what matters, Journeys create a clear path forward. For new partners, that may mean a standardized onboarding journey with required trainings, product education, enablement assets, and certification milestones. For existing partners, it may mean refreshing them on new messaging, updated sales plays, or product launches. For strategic partners, it may mean tracking performance against tier requirements so they can clearly see what it takes to move from Gold to Platinum. ## Journeys scale with your partner motion The real value is that Journeys scale with your partner motion. If your program is early and focused on self-serve onboarding, Journeys help every partner start with the same foundation. If your program is growing and you want to increase portal engagement, Journeys give partners interactive goals and visible milestones. If your ecosystem is mature and tier progression matters, Journeys help track the behaviors, certifications, and outcomes that define partner success. ## Where gamification becomes more than a buzzword This is also where gamification becomes more than a buzzword. Partners want to feel momentum. They want to celebrate progress. They want recognition when they complete certifications, reach a new status, or unlock the next opportunity in your program. Journeys make that experience more engaging by giving partners clear carrots along the way: complete this training, earn this certification, unlock this next tier, qualify for this benefit. That kind of structure can turn a static partner portal into a more active, motivating experience. ## Lower-touch engagement for partner teams It also helps partner teams manage engagement in a lower-touch way. Instead of manually reminding every partner what to complete next, Journeys create a repeatable framework that lets partners track their own progress. Your team gains better visibility into where partners are in the lifecycle, while partners get a clearer understanding of what success looks like. ## Meeting partners in the tools they already use As partner programs evolve, accessibility also matters. Partners increasingly expect to engage with information in the tools and workflows they already prefer, including their preferred LLMs and AI-powered interfaces. A strong PRM experience should make it easier for partners to find the right content, understand next steps, and continue progressing without friction. ## Consistency without rigidity At its core, Journeys help standardize the partner experience without making it feel rigid. They create consistency from onboarding to certification to Platinum tier progression, while still giving partners a sense of achievement and ownership. For channel teams trying to improve partner engagement, retention, and performance, Journeys can become the focal point of the PRM experience. They help partners stay connected to your product, understand how to grow with your business, and see a clear path toward becoming the next core partner driving your success. The future of partner engagement is not just more content. It is clearer progression, better motivation, and a partner experience that feels rewarding from day one. That is what PRM Journeys are built to deliver. ### Stay Updated Get the latest Cloud GTM insights, product updates, and marketplace strategies delivered to your inbox. --- # Cloud GTM Blog: Marketplace Strategy & Co-Sell URL: https://www.suger.io/resources/blog/ Type: Blog 1.

I don't know how I would have done it without you guys at this stage." Johan De Keulenaer Head of Partnerships, Aikido Security ![Johan De Keulenaer](/customer-stories/johan-de-keulenaer.jpg) ## Overview [Aikido Security](https://www.aikido.dev) is a cloud-native application security platform trusted by more than 50,000 organizations worldwide. The company covers the full software development lifecycle — from code scanning and cloud security posture management to autonomous penetration testing and runtime protection — and has become the go-to choice for developer-first teams at companies like Revolut, SoundCloud, and Kong. After reaching unicorn status in a single year, Aikido needed its cloud go-to-market infrastructure to keep pace. By partnering with Suger, the company went from manually creating private offers in the AWS console to running a fully automated, multi-marketplace engine across AWS and Azure marketplaces. ## Opportunity ### Built for scale before the scale hit Johan De Keulenaer, Head of Partnerships at Aikido Security, made cloud marketplaces a pillar of the company's partner strategy from the start. As a cloud-agnostic security platform scanning across AWS, Azure, Alibaba, Oracle Cloud, and GCP, Aikido's customers were already buying through those hyperscalers. The question wasn't whether to be on marketplaces — it was how to do it without creating a bottleneck. Johan began by setting up [AWS Marketplace](/solutions/aws-marketplace/) manually. Within weeks, the limitations were obvious. > "Imagine entering an old museum — here on the left something in the UI, then you need to go somewhere else to connect some stuff," he said. "I really did it the hard way. And I knew if I needed to do the same thing on another marketplace, it wasn't scalable. I didn't want to be the bottleneck." The vision was clear before the scale arrived: automated private offer creation, CRM integration so sellers could self-serve, unified multi-marketplace management, easy co-sell activation with hyperscaler seller teams, and reporting that closed the loop with finance. With Aikido preparing to grow and eventually put 100+ sellers in their commercial team on the platform, the engine needed to exist before the demand did. > "I'm building an engine," Johan said. "And Suger was the right partner to build it with. Suger is central to our marketplace operations and we run our GTM through it." ## Solution ### Turning marketplace into a self-service channel Johan's approach had two phases: get the infrastructure right, then get out of the way. - **Eliminating the busy work.** Before Suger, creating private offers was a manual, repetitive task handled by Johan and one colleague. He'd seen what happens when companies try to scale that model — dedicated deal-desk teams across regions doing nothing but admin, with attrition to match. "I didn't see it as realistic to have a couple of people doing private offers every day," he said. "I want my team talking to an AWS rep about a go-to-market campaign, or to a Microsoft account manager on an enterprise co-sell." - **CRM-embedded self-service.** With Suger integrated into Aikido's CRM, the team can create [private offers](/platform/cosell/) independently across all three hyperscaler marketplaces. New sellers joining in any region — EMEA, APAC, the US — follow a Notion doc, get coached by their sales leader, and start creating offers in minutes without the partnerships team involved. "I see private offers coming in, self-service growing, and the dollars coming in. I don't touch anything anymore," Johan said. - **Automated co-sell at scale.** Aikido started pushing opportunities into AWS ACE manually, one by one. Through Suger, they built an automated flow that now pushes 30 opportunities daily — activating co-sell motions with hyperscaler reps and putting Aikido on the radar at the executive level within AWS and Microsoft globally. "If we previously had to do that manually, it was maybe six steps. Now it's one step — part of their normal information gathering around the opportunity," Johan said. - **Finance in the loop.** Multiple finance team members now independently track offer-acceptance notifications, monitor payouts, and access reporting through the platform. Johan deliberately distributed responsibility across the organization so marketplace operations wouldn't live with one team. ## Outcome ### The engine is running In the span of Aikido's growth, cloud marketplace went from a manual side project to a fully embedded revenue channel — with the metrics to prove it. - **Private offer volume scaled** from roughly one per week to 60 per week, without adding dedicated marketplace operations headcount. - **100+ sellers now self-serve** across AWS, Azure, and GCP, creating private offers independently through the CRM integration. - **Self-service deals increased 50%** from marketplace presence alone — customers finding and transacting through listings without a sales touch. - **Co-sell became automated**, with 30+ opportunities flowing into AWS ACE daily, giving Aikido global visibility with hyperscaler partner teams. - **Q1 revenue already surpassed the prior year's full marketplace total**, signaling that marketplace is now a core revenue engine. And perhaps most telling: Johan spent RSA week — one of cybersecurity's biggest conferences — away from the platform entirely. The Slack channel kept lighting up with accepted offers and closed deals. > "We went through the storming, the norming — and now we're in the performing phase," Johan said. "New sellers join and they just use it. I don't need to explain anything. Suger is the glue between people, the glue between systems. I don't know how I would have done it without you guys at this stage." ## About Aikido Security Aikido Security is Europe's fastest-growing cybersecurity company, trusted by more than 50,000 organizations in industries spanning fintech, enterprise software, and government. Its cloud-native platform secures the full software development lifecycle — from code scanning to autonomous penetration testing and runtime protection.

But as the company pushed upmarket into enterprise, it needed a cloud go-to-market motion that matched its ambition. The challenge wasn't just getting listed — NinjaOne already had an AWS Marketplace listing. It was activating it. By partnering with Suger, NinjaOne turned a dormant listing into a scalable enterprise channel, equipping its sales team with the tools and integrations needed to co-sell effectively with AWS and beyond. ## Opportunity ### An Enterprise Ambition Derrick Roberts, Senior Director of Business Development and Alliances, joined NinjaOne in the fall of 2024 to build an enterprise alliances program from scratch. NinjaOne had spent roughly the first decade building a purpose-built for MSPs, then began moving into commercial, and now enterprise market segments — but the cloud go-to-market infrastructure hadn't kept pace. "When I came in, there was no real enterprise-grade alliances program," Derrick explained. "We were on AWS Marketplace and had a native listing, but we had to expand it, accelerate it. It's just where enterprise buyers are at." The biggest barrier wasn't the hyperscalers, it was internal. Sellers didn't understand the marketplace. They didn't see the value. And the prevailing industry myth, list it and leads appear, had left the existing listing underutilized. "The greatest myth in any alliance or partnership with the cloud providers is that you just set it up and it works," Derrick said. "It's like turning on the lights and expecting you're going to invent something. You have to put in the work." Derrick knew the work had two sides. First, internal evangelism — getting the field team to understand and believe in the cloud go-to-market. Second, operational scale — making sure that once belief existed, reps could actually act on it without getting buried in process. He needed a platform that integrated into the CRM, supported omni-cloud expansion, and was simple enough that a busy sales rep would actually use it. ## Solution ### Building Belief from the Inside Out Before focusing on tooling, Derrick invested in something harder to measure: internal evangelism. He ran enablement sessions with sales leadership every other month, explaining the mechanics and incentives of cloud go-to-market until the message stuck. But the real unlock was a proof point. Rather than asking reps to figure out a new motion on their own, Derrick personally shepherded a single deal through the entire co-sell process with AWS — doing the legwork, supplying the value to the customer, and navigating the hyperscaler relationship himself. "I knew I needed a proof point. I leaned in in a way that isn't scalable — I needed just one," he said. "It gave the sales rep the illustration of: oh, this works. And then that rep talks to another rep, who talks to another rep. They become evangelists." With internal momentum building, Suger became the operational backbone. - **CRM Integration and Usability:** Suger's Salesforce integration meant reps could submit leads to AWS and create private offers without leaving the tools they already used. "A five-year-old could use your product — and that's not negative," Derrick said. "Salespeople are busy. The last thing we need is for them to get tripped up on how to submit a private offer." - **Omni-Cloud Marketplace Management:** Suger enabled NinjaOne to expand from a single AWS listing to a true omni-cloud presence, reaching customers across AWS, Azure, and GCP from a unified platform. - **Customer Support with Bias for Action:** With deals on the line and enterprise timelines to hit, Suger's CS team matched NinjaOne's own standard of support — a company that carries a 98% CSAT rating. "I can't thank your team enough for jumping on calls at 9 o'clock at night, figuring out why something's stuck," Derrick said. "The one thing that frustrates me is a lack of bias for action. Suger's CS team is the opposite of that." Derrick also invested upstream — hiring a dedicated partner engineer to build integrations with AWS first-party products and design reference architectures. This wasn't just a technical play; it was strategic. "Once you have the reference architecture, that flows into product marketing, into field marketing, and ultimately into the hands of our sales reps," he explained. "It shows AWS we're thinking about their business — not just a transactional relationship. It becomes one plus one equals three." ## Outcome ### A Cloud GTM Motion Built to Scale In roughly 18 months, NinjaOne went from a dormant marketplace listing and no enterprise alliances program to a fully activated, omni-cloud go-to-market motion — with internal buy-in from the field all the way up to the founder. - **Omni-cloud presence** activated across AWS, Azure, and GCP, meeting enterprise buyers where they already procure. - **Sales team enabled and evangelizing**, with reps now proactively bringing marketplace into deal conversations after sustained internal enablement. - **Operational friction eliminated** with Suger's CRM integrations and automated workflows letting the team do more with less — critical for a company with aggressive enterprise growth targets. - **Deeper hyperscaler relationships**, anchored by joint technical solutions and reference architectures rather than purely transactional co-sell. "The journey with Suger has been an incredible one. We looked at multiple products — and the icing on the cake is your customer support. We couldn't do what we do without you." ## About NinjaOne NinjaOne is the leading IT platform for endpoint management, security, and visibility, trusted by more than 35,000 customers in over 140 countries. The cloud-native NinjaOne Platform unifies endpoint management, autonomous patching, backup, and remote access in a single console — helping IT teams increase productivity, reduce risk, and lower costs.

"Summarize with Perplexity") Table of Contents - [Overview](#overview) - [Opportunity](#opportunity) - [Solution](#solution) - [Outcome](#outcome) - [About Ona](#about) > "If Suger were to disappear tomorrow, an extremely crucial building block in our daily operations for our co-sell motion with any hyperscaler would be gone. It would create a huge operational overhead — more expensive than just hiring someone for it." Daniel Zäh Alliances Lead, Ona ![Daniel Zäh](/customer-stories/daniel-zah.jpg) ## Overview [Ona](https://ona.com) is a platform for running background agents and AI software engineers that work 24/7 inside the customer's own infrastructure. They sell into Fortune 500 banks, insurers, and pharma. To meet their customers where they already were, Ona built a hyperscaler-first go-to-market motion with AWS Marketplace as the primary commercial channel. But running marketplace-led at enterprise scale meant the operational layer had to be seamless. Sellers and CX needed to self-serve from inside Salesforce. [Co-sell](/platform/cosell/) with AWS had to happen automatically, every time. By partnering with Suger, Ona automated the entire co-sell and private offer workflow end-to-end. Today, more than 75% of Ona's total contract value flows through AWS Marketplace, opportunity share rates sit above 93%, and the partnerships team hasn't manually created a private offer in over a year. ## Opportunity ### Rethinking the partner playbook Most software companies build their partner ecosystem the same way: start with SIs to refer or resell, layer in technology partners, then eventually pick a hyperscaler. Daniel Zäh, Alliances Lead at Ona, deliberately built it the other way around — leading with the hyperscaler relationship, because that's where Ona's enterprise buyers were already committed. "The traditional path locks you in. Either into SIs that don't work with your preferred hyperscaler, or into a hyperscaler that isn't ideal for your ICP. We started with the hyperscaler because those partnerships are enablement partnerships — they enable your team, your pipeline, your brand. And they give your enterprise buyers a procurement path they actually want to use." That last point mattered. Ona's customers were large enterprises already sitting on multi-year AWS commits, and had a real incentive to buy through marketplace. The strategic bet was clear. Executing it was harder. Every part of the motion had to scale: private offers, co-sell with AWS, and renewals — where marketplace mechanics get genuinely complicated. Before the team automated it, the cost showed up as manual operations work. "We had one dedicated person who always had to go through Salesforce, make sure every opportunity was being shared, that everything was being tracked. I've done a lot of manual private offers in the past, made extensions to private offers, tried to upload opportunity files in bulk to APN — let's face it, it doesn't work." ## Solution ### One tool, every workflow When Daniel joined Ona, he set a clear vision for what good should look like. Every AE and rep touching a marketplace deal should self-serve from inside Salesforce, without ever opening a new tab. Co-sell with AWS should happen automatically, not as a separate workflow owned by one person. And the partnerships team should be free to focus on relationships, not on processing offers. Here's how Suger brought that vision to life. - **Salesforce-native experience.** AEs use Suger to create [private offers](/platform/private-offers/) and CX processes renewals without leaving the CRM. - **Fully automated co-sell with AWS.** The entire co-sell flow — sharing opportunities, syncing updates, closing the loop back into Salesforce — runs automatically. Share rates moved from 68% to 95%, effectively at the ceiling once Ona's qualification criteria are applied. - **A self-serve sales org.** Daniel hasn't touched a private offer himself in more than a year. With Suger, everyone self-serves — sales reps creating offers, CX handling renewals — and the partnerships team only steps in when something errors. - **Listing expansion.** With the operational burden removed, Ona went from two marketplace listings to five — driven by Suger making each new listing cheap to launch and operate. For Daniel, the success came down to how Suger's product is built to understand where his teams already work. "The more tools you put in front of a person, the harder it gets to make sure they actually use them. Suger's UI is strong, but UI doesn't win the deal. What matters is people living in one tool with everything integrated. That's why Suger was the right partner." ## Outcome ### Scale without the overhead In under 12 months, Ona moved from manually shared opportunities and hand-built private offers to a fully automated, end-to-end co-sell motion driving the majority of company revenue. - **75%+ of total contract value** transacted through AWS Marketplace. - **95% co-sell share rate**, up from 68%. - **95%+ time saved** on co-sell operations. - **100% workflow automation** in under 12 months. The more telling outcome is what's no longer happening. No one is manually exporting opportunities to share with AWS. No one is rebuilding private offers from scratch when terms change. No one is the bottleneck. A big part of why the partnership works, Daniel says, is the level of support — and the way Suger shows up. "We don't think of partners as external companies we collaborate with. They become an extended part of our team. And we feel this is the same with Suger. Your team lives in our Slack Connect, the exchange is good, you're responsive. Your customer success plays a critical role." ## About Ona Ona is a platform for running background agents — AI software engineers that work 24/7 inside the customer's own infrastructure. Each AI engineer runs in a secure, ephemeral cloud environment deployed in the customer's AWS or GCP VPC, executing complete engineering workflows from ticket to pull request. Ona works asynchronously in the background, tackling organizational-scale work like large-scale migrations, CVE remediation, and tech debt across hundreds of repositories while engineers focus on higher-value work. Ona serves enterprise customers in regulated industries including financial services, insurance, and pharma. Learn more at [ona.com](https://ona.com). ## Turn cloud partnerships into real revenue.

Korina Aviles Director of Cloud Partnerships, Simpplr ![Korina Aviles](/customer-stories/korina-aviles.jpg) ## Overview For [Simpplr](https://www.simpplr.com), a leading AI-powered employee experience platform, scaling AWS Marketplace revenue required more than a listing — it demanded automation and buyer intelligence. The company needed a platform that could handle high-volume co-sell operations, sync AWS engagement data directly into Salesforce, and adapt to how their partnerships team actually worked. By implementing Suger, Simpplr automated their entire marketplace motion and drove **over $2M in revenue in their first year**. ## Opportunity ### Differentiating and winning deals through Marketplace Korina Aviles, Director of Cloud Partnerships at Simpplr, wasn't new to marketplace management platforms. At her previous company she'd used a legacy solution to manage [AWS Marketplace](/solutions/aws-marketplace/) operations. The relationship with the vendor was fine — the platform itself was the problem. > "At my previous company we were using a legacy platform before Suger. While I wasn't involved in the initial evaluation, after using it for a few months it felt very similar to working directly within AWS APN — but with a significant added cost. Although we had a strong account team and made efforts to maximize the platform, it ultimately lacked the flexibility, customization, and automation we needed. > > Suger stood out not just for its roadmap, but for its willingness to truly partner with us. Even where functionality was still evolving, their team took the time to understand our specific use cases and worked alongside us to shape the solution. That commitment to customer success and ability to deliver meaningful impact is what ultimately solidified our decision — and they've continued to deliver on that promise." When Korina joined Simpplr, she knew exactly what the team needed to succeed with AWS Marketplace, and which vendors could actually deliver it. The requirements were straightforward: - **Co-sell automation.** Manual workflows wouldn't cut it for the volume they planned to drive. Simpplr needed [co-sell automation](/platform/cosell/) that could handle hundreds of opportunities without burying the partnerships team in busywork. - **AWS buyer intelligence.** They wanted to see which accounts were actively exploring AWS Marketplace purchases before those accounts reached out — prioritizing based on real buyer intent, not guesswork. - **Salesforce integration.** Engagement scores needed to live on Salesforce **account** fields, not just opportunity records — so the sales team could prospect and filter the way they already worked. After evaluating the market, Suger stood out for its technical capabilities and willingness to deliver what Simpplr needed. ## Solution ### Building a scalable marketplace motion Suger delivered where previous platforms couldn't. > "We wanted the engagement scores without having to co-sell every single deal manually. That's what really got me speaking with Bryan and how we could improve our existing processes." - **AWS engagement scores for smarter prioritization.** Suger's proprietary buyer-intent data showed Simpplr which accounts were actively exploring AWS Marketplace. Unlike platforms that only surface this after a formal co-sell submission, Suger provided it proactively — letting Simpplr spot high-value opportunities early. - **Salesforce field-level integration.** Working with Suger's team, Simpplr configured AWS, Azure, and GCP engagement scores to sync directly into custom Salesforce **account** fields. Keeping scores at the account level — not just the opportunity level — let the team do real prospecting on their target account list, not just track deals already in progress. - **Automated private offers.** Suger eliminated the manual grind of creating private offers. Reps initiated offers directly from Salesforce, and everything synced automatically to AWS Partner Central, with Slack and email notifications keeping everyone informed. - **Co-sell auto-enrichment.** The platform automatically filled in missing fields and shared referrals with AWS, keeping data clean and accurate without manual cleanup. - **API-first integration.** Suger connected seamlessly with Simpplr's tech stack — Salesforce, Slack, and AWS systems all talking to each other automatically. Implementation was quick. Suger worked with Simpplr to set up custom Salesforce fields, configure enrichment rules, and build out automated workflows. **Within two weeks, everything was live.** ## Outcome ### Real marketplace revenue, automated Within 12 months, Simpplr built an AWS Marketplace motion that delivered real results. - **Over $2M in marketplace revenue in year one.** Suger's combination of automation, engagement intelligence, and co-sell capabilities helped Simpplr identify the right opportunities, engage the right AWS partners, and close deals efficiently. - **Real-time visibility.** With engagement scores synced into Salesforce account fields, the entire sales organization could prioritize based on actual buyer intent — knowing which tier-one accounts were showing AWS Marketplace interest. - **40+ AWS sales reps engaged, 700+ opportunities shared.** In year one, Simpplr's team engaged over 40 AWS reps and shared 700+ opportunities, building the relationships needed to accelerate deals and expand their AWS footprint. **"This is my second time buying Suger at a company. And I will continue to use it as long as I am managing an AWS partnership."** ## About Simpplr Simpplr is the leading AI-powered employee experience platform that helps organizations create personalized, engaging workplace experiences.

[AWS Marketplace](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/what-is-marketplace.html) is a digital storefront where software companies list products and AWS customers purchase them using their existing AWS billing relationship. It supports SaaS applications, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), container-based products, machine learning models, AI agents, data products through AWS Data Exchange, and professional services. Over 42,000 products are currently listed. ### What are the benefits of selling on AWS Marketplace? ![Three benefits of AWS Marketplace and CPPO procurement: Simplify procurement through AWS Channel Partners (manage relationships, find/test/deploy software, receive AWS invoices), Optimize costs (customized CPPO pricing, AWS spend commitments, Cost Management tools), and Added value (find and deploy third-party software, purchase services, finance Marketplace purchases).](/guides/aws-marketplace/cppo-benefits.png) AWS Marketplace and CPPO unlock simplified procurement, cost optimization, and channel-partner expertise. The benefits of selling on AWS Marketplace come down to access: access to pre-committed enterprise cloud budgets, dramatically faster procurement cycles, co-sell support from AWS field teams, and global reach without building international billing infrastructure. Enterprise software sales through cloud marketplaces reached **$30 billion in 2024**. Omdia projects **$163 billion by 2030** at a 29.1% CAGR, with agentic AI transactions alone projected to drive $24.4 billion. Enterprises now hold close to **$470 billion in committed cloud spend** across AWS, Microsoft, and Google — and a growing share flows through marketplace procurement. The implication for ISVs is straightforward. Procurement teams are consolidating vendor purchases through cloud providers they already pay. If your software is on AWS Marketplace, it becomes part of a budget that's already approved. If it's not, you're competing for a separate line item. ### What are EDP commitments on AWS Marketplace? Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) commitments are multi-year agreements where an organization commits to a set AWS spend level in exchange for volume discounts. When a buyer has millions committed to AWS and needs qualified purchases to draw down that commitment before expiration, AWS Marketplace purchases can qualify against their commitments. That changes the entire sales conversation. You're no longer asking a buyer to find new budget. You're helping them spend the budget they've already committed. ### How does AWS Marketplace accelerate enterprise procurement? AWS Marketplace accelerates enterprise procurement from months to weeks by eliminating new vendor onboarding, separate invoicing, and independent legal review — the buyer transacts on their existing AWS billing relationship with pre-approved terms. Traditional enterprise procurement runs through a predictable sequence: new vendor onboarding, legal review, security questionnaire, procurement committee approval, purchase order issuance, NET-60 payment terms. Each step adds days or weeks. Marketplace compresses most of this: - The buyer's existing AWS billing relationship covers the transaction — no new vendor setup required. - Private offer acceptance creates a binding agreement directly on the buyer's existing AWS account. - Deals that take three to four months through traditional procurement can close in weeks. - AWS field sellers are financially incentivized to support your deals — the ISV Accelerate program provides cash incentives to AWS sales teams who co-sell partner solutions through Marketplace private offers. ### Global reach without global infrastructure AWS handles multi-currency billing, localized tax compliance, and regional regulatory frameworks on behalf of sellers. A 50-person SaaS company can sell into EMEA, APAC, and LATAM through Marketplace without building international billing, invoicing, or tax infrastructure. For mid-market ISVs, this removes a barrier that would otherwise require significant investment to clear. ## What can you sell on AWS Marketplace? You can sell SaaS applications, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), container-based products, machine learning models, AI agents, data products, and professional services on AWS Marketplace. Your product type determines your technical integration, available pricing models, and how deal structures work downstream. ### Product types and delivery models AWS Marketplace supports seven product types, each with different delivery methods, integration requirements, and buyer experiences. Product type What it is Best for SaaS Application runs in your infrastructure; AWS handles subscription management, entitlement, billing Most B2B software AMI Virtual machine images deployed on Amazon EC2 Applications requiring customer-side compute Containers Docker images deployed on Amazon ECS or EKS Containerized workloads and microservices ML Models Deployed through SageMaker AI, analytics, data science AI Agents Deployed via API or container in the dedicated AI Agents and Tools category (launched mid-2025) Agentic AI products Data Products Distributed through AWS Data Exchange Datasets, data feeds, data APIs Professional Services Consulting, implementation, training, managed services — transacted through private offers Service delivery ### What are AI agents on AWS Marketplace? AI agents are one of the fastest-growing categories. The dedicated AI Agents and Tools category creates a distinct discovery path that didn't exist a year ago. Omdia projects agentic AI will be one of the highest-growth segments across all cloud marketplaces through 2030. If your product has an agentic AI component, this category gives you a dedicated entry point worth building around. ## How much does AWS Marketplace cost? AWS charges a [percentage-based transaction fee](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/listing-fees.html) on each Marketplace sale: 3% for SaaS public offers, tiered rates of 1.5–3% for private offers based on total contract value, and 20% for server-based listings (AMI, container, ML). Sellers receive monthly disbursements and never invoice customers directly. Before you invest in listing, you need a clear picture of three things: what Marketplace costs, how pricing works, and how you get paid. ### What fees does AWS Marketplace charge? AWS charges a percentage of each transaction, calculated on pre-tax total contract value. These rates have been in effect since January 5, 2024. Category Fee SaaS and Data Exchange (public offers) 3% Server listings (AMI, container, ML) 20% Private offers under $1M TCV 3% Private offers $1M–$10M TCV 2% Private offers $10M+ TCV 1.5% All renewals 1.5% Professional services 2.5% CPPO uplift (any offer type) +0.5% South Korea regional fee +1% (effective April 2025) Two things catch ISVs off guard. First, the server listing fee is a flat 20% — not the 3% that SaaS sellers pay. Second, the tiered private offer rates reward volume: as TCV increases, your effective rate decreases. This is why most enterprise revenue eventually flows through private offers, not public listings. ### What pricing models does AWS Marketplace support? AWS Marketplace supports six pricing models: monthly subscription, annual subscription, usage-based metering, contract pricing (1–36 months), hybrid (base plus variable usage), and Bring Your Own License (BYOL). Model Best for Key consideration Monthly/annual subscription Horizontal SaaS, seat-based pricing Simplest to implement, most familiar to buyers Usage-based (metered) Infrastructure tools, API products, data pipelines Requires robust metering integration; calls must be idempotent Contract pricing Enterprise deals with committed terms Supports 1-month, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month terms Hybrid Products with baseline + variable consumption Combines base subscription with usage charges BYOL Migration scenarios Lets buyers bring existing licenses to Marketplace Note: once you publish your listing — even to limited visibility for testing — you cannot change the pricing model. This decision is permanent for that listing. If you need a different model later, you'll need a new listing entirely. Choose with your downstream deal structures in mind, not just your current billing pattern. ### How do AWS Marketplace disbursements work? AWS bills the buyer, collects payment, and disburses to the seller monthly. You never invoice customers directly — this eliminates late payment risk but ties cash flow to AWS's disbursement timeline. What you need to know: - Revenue appears in AWS Marketplace Revenue Reports. - As of May 2025, AWS processes partial disbursements for partially paid invoices (previously sellers waited for complete payment). - In January 2026, AWS launched collection visibility reporting for better insight into payment status. - Reconciliation involves parsing disbursement files, matching transactions to internal records, and handling refunds and credits. At low deal volume, reconciliation is manageable. At scale, it becomes a significant operational workload. This is where [Cloud GTM](/resources/guides/cloud-gtm/) platforms like Suger automate disbursement reconciliation, matching marketplace payouts to internal records and feeding clean data to your finance stack. ## How to list on AWS Marketplace ![Five-phase AWS Marketplace seller workflow shown as chevron arrows: Phase One register as an AWS Marketplace Seller, Phase Two create a product, Phase Three SaaS Quick Start integration, Phase Four update product visibility and test, Phase Five promote.](/guides/aws-marketplace/5-phase-listing-flow.png) The five phases of becoming an AWS Marketplace seller, from registration through promotion. Listing on AWS Marketplace involves seller registration, product and pricing configuration, listing content creation, technical integration, and AWS review — a process that takes 2–4 weeks end-to-end for most ISVs. Getting listed and building your co-sell motion are parallel tracks that converge when you start running private offers with AWS field support. ### What are the requirements to sell on AWS Marketplace? Some of the requirements you need to get listed on AWS Marketplace are: - A dedicated business AWS account (not personal, not root credentials) - IAM role structure with Marketplace management permissions - Legal entity name, public display name, customer support contact - Banking details for revenue disbursements - Tax documentation for your country of incorporation Registration happens through the AWS Marketplace Management Portal (AMMP). AWS validates your legal entity, tax ID, banking information, and region eligibility. Your country of incorporation must appear on the AWS-supported seller list. The most common stall point: you must associate your bank account with a disbursement preference before you can create any public or private offers. Many companies lose weeks because they start tax and banking setup after beginning listing work. Submit banking and tax documentation early — this bottleneck has no technical workaround. Cloud GTM platforms like [Suger](/platform/product-listing/) handle the listing and integration process end-to-end, compressing what typically takes 6–8 weeks of internal effort into 5–10 business days. ### How to optimize your AWS Marketplace listing ![A three-phase roadmap to maximize AWS Marketplace product visibility: Phase 01 Go live on AWS, Phase 02 Promote your product listing, Phase 03 Co-sell and scale. Marked Available in AWS Marketplace.](/guides/aws-marketplace/3-phase-roadmap.png) Maximizing AWS Marketplace visibility happens in three phases: launch, promote, then co-sell and scale. To optimize your AWS Marketplace listing, you must include: - Product title, summary, and long-form description - Key features, benefits, and use cases - Supported AWS regions and system requirements - Architecture diagrams - Pricing details and support information Listing quality matters for two reasons: **Discoverability.** Keywords in your title and description drive search placement. "Automated cloud cost optimization for AWS workloads" outperforms "comprehensive platform for enterprises." Think about what an enterprise buyer would type into Marketplace search and work backward. **Field seller engagement.** AWS field sellers evaluate your listing before deciding to support a co-sell deal. A thin or generic listing reduces the likelihood they'll engage. Architecture diagrams showing how your product integrates with common AWS services improve both buyer confidence and field seller interest. Don't treat listing as a launch-and-forget milestone. Companies that actively update content, reflect new features and use cases, and optimize based on performance data see compounding returns. Companies that list and walk away see minimal traction. A Cloud GTM platform like Suger lets you manage and update listings across AWS, Azure, and [Google Cloud Marketplace](/resources/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/) from a single interface, so listing maintenance doesn't require logging into separate marketplace consoles. ### What is the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR)? The [AWS FTR](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/foundational-technical-review/) is a self-service review where AWS validates your solution against Well-Architected best practices across security, reliability, and operational excellence. It's valid for three years. FTR is the mechanism through which you earn Validated status on the AWS Software Path — and Validated or Differentiated status is a prerequisite for ISV Accelerate. Without ISV Accelerate, you don't have access to the co-sell motion that drives the largest Marketplace deals. What FTR unlocks: - Validated status → ISV Accelerate eligibility → co-sell with AWS field sellers - Listing in the AWS Partner Solutions Finder - Visibility in AWS's internal sales discovery tools (how field sellers find partners to co-sell with) - Access to funding programs and AWS Competency designations - A "Qualified Software" badge ### How long does it take to get listed on AWS Marketplace? For SaaS and AMI products, AWS states the publication process takes 7–10 business days assuming no errors. AWS's broader guidance recommends planning for 2–4 calendar weeks end-to-end, with 45 days of lead time for planned launches. Once your listing and technical integration are ready, you request public visibility through the AMMP. Seller Operations reviews your submission across product functionality, documentation accuracy, security posture, pricing correctness, and Marketplace compliance. After approval, validate everything: - End-to-end test purchases - Entitlement activation and cancellation flows - Metering data accuracy - Earnings in AWS Marketplace Revenue Reports Then brief your sales, CS, and partner teams on how to position Marketplace procurement during deals. If your GTM team doesn't know how to present the Marketplace option, utilization stays low regardless of technical performance. Companies using a [Cloud GTM platform](/platform/) like Suger typically go live in 5–10 business days from submission, because technical integration, listing submission, and review cycles run through pre-built marketplace connections that require zero engineering. **Upcoming change:** Starting June 1, 2026, all new SaaS products must support Concurrent Agreements. If you're planning to list in the second half of 2026, build this into your technical requirements from the start. ## AWS Marketplace offers: public, private, and channel partner (CPPO) AWS Marketplace transactions happen through three primary paths: public offers visible to any buyer, private offers with custom terms for specific buyers, and channel partner private offers (CPPO) where resellers transact on the ISV's behalf. A fourth mechanism — agreement-based offers — lets you modify deals mid-contract. Deal path What it is When to use it Public offer Default pricing visible to any buyer Self-service, PLG, buyers who don't need custom terms Private offer Custom deal for a specific buyer Enterprise deals, negotiated pricing, multi-year commitments CPPO Channel partner extends a private offer on the ISV's behalf Partner-led sales, regional coverage, bundled services Agreement-based offer (ABO) Mid-contract modification to an existing private offer Expansions, true-ups, term changes ### What are public offers on AWS Marketplace? A public offer is the default: the pricing, terms, and entitlements visible to any buyer who visits your listing. The buyer experience is simple — review, subscribe, deploy — and can happen in a single session. AWS handles billing through the buyer's existing account. Public offers work well for self-service purchases and product-led growth (PLG) motions. They're how most ISVs start transacting and establish the baseline that private offers build on. ### What are private offers on AWS Marketplace? A [private offer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/private-offers-overview.html) is a custom deal created for a specific AWS buyer with negotiated pricing, payment schedules, term lengths, and contract language. When accepted, it becomes a binding agreement. Most high-value enterprise Marketplace transactions flow through [private offers](/platform/private-offers/), not public listings. A Cloud GTM platform like Suger lets your team create, approve, and track private offers directly from [Salesforce](/platform/integrations/) — no AWS portal login required. The offer workflow lives where your reps already work. ### What are agreement-based offers (ABOs)? ABOs let you modify an existing private offer mid-contract without starting over. You can amend pricing, add product dimensions, adjust payment schedules, or extend terms. The buyer accepts through the standard Marketplace workflow. Without ABOs, every expansion requires a completely new offer — adding overhead and delay to what should be a straightforward upsell. ABOs have become essential for enterprise deal management where mid-contract flexibility is expected. ### What is CPPO on AWS Marketplace? [CPPO](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/channel-partner-offers.html) (Channel Partner Private Offers) allows approved channel partners to extend private offers to buyers on your behalf. The ISV sets the terms and issues a selling authorization. The partner accepts, marks up from wholesale cost, and extends the offer to the buyer. CPPO adds a 0.5% fee uplift. Common use cases: - Implementation partners bundling services with your software - Resellers with established enterprise relationships in accounts you can't cover directly - Regional partners providing local billing in EMEA, APAC, or LATAM - Partners wrapping professional services around your SaaS product CPPO introduces a third party into every transaction — which makes margin calculations, partner authorization tracking, and revenue attribution more complex. At low partner volume, manageable. As you add partners, each with their own buyers and deal structures, the operational surface area grows fast. ## How to co-sell with AWS ![AWS co-sell sales cycle across four stages: Prospecting (identify opportunities), Qualification (ISV sales rep meets with customer and qualifies for AWS Marketplace, register deal in ACE, engage AWS resources, ISV leads customer joint meeting), Pursuit (provide business and tech validations, terms, pricing), and Close (ISV creates Seller Private Offer, customer accepts and deploys), with outcomes shown for each stage.](/guides/aws-marketplace/cosell-sales-cycle.png) The AWS co-sell sales cycle, from prospecting through ACE registration to closing as a Marketplace private offer. Co-selling with AWS means working through the ISV Accelerate program and the ACE pipeline system, where you register opportunities, AWS validates them, and AWS field sellers engage qualified accounts alongside you. It's the highest-leverage growth motion on Marketplace — but it runs through specific programs and systems that require deliberate investment. ### APN Partner tiers and what they unlock for ISVs The AWS Partner Network organizes Software Path partners through a progression: Registered → Confirmed → Validated → Differentiated. Validated status is the threshold that matters most. It unlocks ISV Accelerate eligibility, which is where co-sell becomes operational. You achieve Validated status by completing the FTR — which is why the technical review is strategically important even though it's not required to list. The dynamic is self-reinforcing: a strong listing and Validated status attract field seller engagement, which generates pipeline, which drives more field engagement, which builds toward Differentiated status and larger programs. ### What is the AWS ISV Accelerate program? [ISV Accelerate](https://aws.amazon.com/partners/programs/isv-accelerate/) is the program that makes co-sell work. AWS account managers receive cash incentives for co-selling your solutions through Marketplace private offers. Qualification requirements: - At least one software product listed as GA on Marketplace - ACE program eligibility - Validated or Differentiated status in Partner Central - Amazon Payee Central account - Minimum 5 launched opportunities (ACE or Marketplace private offers) in the past 12 months - Minimum 15 qualified opportunities in ACE in the past 12 months - At least one person having completed the Co-Selling with AWS learning module - Minimum $2,000 in recognized AWS account revenue at enrollment ### What is ACE? ACE (APN Customer Engagements) is AWS's co-sell pipeline system where ISVs register opportunities, AWS validates them based on customer cloud usage and revenue alignment, and AWS field sellers engage qualified accounts with introductions, deal coaching, and procurement support. For AWS-referred opportunities, partners have 5 business days to accept or reject. 1. Register an opportunity in ACE. 2. AWS validates based on customer cloud usage, service fit, and revenue alignment. 3. If validated, AWS sellers engage the account — introductions, deal coaching, procurement support. 4. Deal closes through Marketplace, AWS rep gets credit. The operational challenge: keeping ACE data in sync with your CRM becomes critical as concurrent co-sell opportunities grow. Without integration, attribution is unreliable and leadership can't answer how much pipeline is partner-sourced versus partner-influenced. [Suger syncs co-sell](/platform/cosell/) opportunities between your CRM and ACE in real time — deal registration, status updates, and attribution flow automatically without manual re-entry. ### What's changing with AWS Partner Center in 2026? AWS made three significant changes to Partner Central, the comprehensive portal for managing your entire AWS partnership in 2026: migrating the platform into the AWS Console, launching AI-powered Partner Central agents, and adding MCP server support for CRM integration. **Console migration.** Partner Central has moved into the AWS Console, consolidating partner tools, opportunity management, and program enrollment into the same interface you use for AWS infrastructure. New capabilities are being built exclusively for the console-based interface — if you haven't migrated, prioritize it. **Partner Central agents.** Launched March 2026, these Amazon Bedrock AgentCore-powered agents automate administrative tasks across co-selling, funding, and opportunity management. Partners can ask an agent to identify deals needing attention, surface funding eligibility, generate sales plays, or auto-populate opportunity fields from meeting notes. **MCP server support.** Partner Central agents support Model Context Protocol servers, letting you connect existing CRM and internal tools directly to agentic capabilities. Partner Central intelligence reaches your sales team inside the tools they already use, rather than requiring context-switching into a separate portal. Suger already integrates with Partner Central's agentic capabilities, letting teams leverage these new automation features without building custom connections. The pattern: AWS is investing heavily in making co-sell workflows faster, more automated, and less dependent on manual data entry. ## AWS Marketplace funding programs and ISV incentives AWS offers ISVs several funding programs including List and Sell ($10,000 in credits), Seller Prime (up to $40,000 in marketing funds), ACE-CRM Integration Credits ($10,000), and migration programs like MAP and WMP. What's available depends on your stage of Marketplace maturity. ### Early-stage programs Two programs target ISVs getting their first listing live and closing initial Marketplace deals. Program What you get How to qualify List and Sell $10,000 in promotional credits $65K TCV or 10 private offers within 12 months (yearly contract); $5,500 revenue or 10 active monthly subscriptions (PLG). Requires participating AWS Marketplace Partner. MPOPP Pre-loaded MDF wallets and promotional support Part of the Global Startup Program (announced re:Invent 2025); targets startups closing first enterprise Marketplace deals ### Growth programs Two programs support ISVs scaling their marketplace motion and investing in operational infrastructure. Program What you get How to qualify Seller Prime GTM enablement kit, marketing support, up to $40,000 in reimbursable marketing funds, listing performance dashboards Strategy document aligned with Seller Prime team; PLG-motion SaaS companies ACE-CRM Integration Credits $10,000 in AWS credits Complete a new CRM integration to Marketplace or co-sell portal; at least one private offer acceptance from CRM or one co-sell submission Seller Prime is notably the only way ISVs get granular listing visibility — traffic volumes, conversion rates, marketing channel breakdowns. Without it, you're operating on revenue data alone without top-of-funnel analytics. ### Migration and workload programs Two programs provide credits for ISVs whose products are part of customer migration or modernization projects. Program What you get When it applies MAP (Migration Acceleration Program) Credits for customers migrating workloads to AWS Your product is part of a customer's migration or modernization project; expanded in late 2025 to cover generative AI and app modernization ISV WMP (Workload Migration Program) Direct credit disbursement to end customers Customers moving workloads to AWS; updated January 2026 The throughline across all programs: AWS rewards ISVs who actively build their Marketplace business. The operational infrastructure you have in place — CRM integration, co-sell pipeline, offer management — determines how much of that funding you can actually capture. ## Common AWS Marketplace challenges and how to solve them The most common AWS Marketplace challenges are: private offer workflows breaking at scale, co-sell data fragmenting across ACE and your CRM, finance struggling to reconcile marketplace disbursements, and multi-cloud operations multiplying every manual process. Each maps to a specific stage of maturity — and each has a clear fix. ### Private offer volume breaks manual workflows The first few deals close through manual effort. Someone logs into the marketplace console, builds the offer, emails the buyer, waits for acceptance, updates the CRM. At 5+ offers per month: - Approvals get lost in email threads - Offers expire before buyers accept - Pricing errors surface - The team creating offers becomes a bottleneck **What to do:** Build approval workflows with clear routing. Set pre-approved pricing thresholds so standard deals move without manual sign-off. Connect offer creation to your CRM so reps work from one system using Cloud GTM platforms like Suger. ### Co-sell data fragments across systems Opportunities registered in ACE are disconnected from your CRM. Attribution becomes unreliable. Leadership can't answer basic questions about partner-sourced versus partner-influenced pipeline. **What to do:** Integrate co-sell systems with your CRM using Suger so deal registration and status sync automatically. Define attribution rules before volume makes retroactive classification impossible. Run regular data audits to catch sync gaps early. ### Finance can't reconcile marketplace revenue AWS has different disbursement timing and reporting formats than your direct sales motion. Revenue recognition requires its own policy — disbursement timing, fee netting, and multi-year contract structures don't map cleanly to how most finance teams handle direct deals. **What to do:** Define rev rec policy for marketplace transactions before deal volume makes it urgent. Set up disbursement tracking that maps cloud provider payouts to internal records. Involve finance in Cloud GTM planning from the start. A platform like Suger automates disbursement tracking and reconciliation across all three clouds, giving finance clean data without manual effort. ### Multi-cloud multiplies everything Each additional marketplace — Azure, GCP — adds a separate console, co-sell system, reporting stream, and disbursement process. The operational model you built for AWS needs to work across two or three clouds. **What to do:** Treat the second marketplace launch as process replication, not a net-new build. Centralize reporting and offer management across clouds before adding the third. Evaluate whether your current tooling supports multi-cloud or whether a unified platform like Suger is the right investment. ## Best tools and platforms for AWS Marketplace sellers Cloud GTM platforms like [Suger](/) automate the operational work of selling through AWS Marketplace: listing management, private offer workflows, co-sell synchronization, and revenue reconciliation. This matters because that operational work grows linearly with deal volume when managed manually, and the scaling curve becomes unsustainable without automation. ### When do you need a Cloud GTM platform? You typically need a Cloud GTM platform when private offer volume exceeds beyond a certain point, co-sell data fragments across ACE and your CRM, finance spends hours reconciling marketplace disbursements, or you're launching on a second cloud marketplace. These are signals that the operational cost of manual management exceeds what a platform would cost. Six signals that it's time: - **Your listing requires engineering resources** — building and maintaining direct marketplace API integrations takes ongoing engineering time a platform eliminates. - **Private offer volume is climbing** — manual creation in the AMMP becomes a bottleneck. - **Co-sell motion is scaling** — keeping ACE data in sync with your CRM manually means attribution stays unreliable. - **Finance is spending hours on reconciliation** — each deal adds disbursement tracking, fee matching, and reporting work. - **You're launching on a second marketplace** — a separate console, co-sell system, and reporting stream doubles operational overhead. - **Reps avoid marketplace deals** — if the workflow is slower than their standard CRM process, the channel stalls. If you're experiencing several of these, the operational cost of manual Cloud GTM is likely exceeding what a platform would cost — and you're losing revenue to the friction. ### What to look for in a Cloud GTM platform The right Cloud GTM platform covers the full lifecycle of marketplace selling. These are the capabilities that matter most when evaluating options. Capability What to evaluate Marketplace coverage AWS, Azure, GCP at minimum; some platforms support Snowflake or emerging marketplaces Private offer workflows Can your team create, route, approve, and track offers from within your CRM? Co-sell automation Bi-directional sync between CRM and ACE / Partner Center / PSC? Automatic deal registration? Quote-to-cash depth How far past listing and offers does it extend — CPQ, metering, billing, disbursement tracking, ERP sync? CRM and finance integrations Salesforce and HubSpot are baseline; does it connect to your billing system, accounting software, data warehouse? AI and automation Can it automate co-sell field population, offer creation from CRM data, deal routing, renewal triggers? ### What Cloud GTM platform is best for AWS Marketplace in 2026? Suger is best for: automating the full lifecycle of AWS marketplace operations, from listing through revenue reconciliation. Suger is the most comprehensive Cloud GTM platform in the category. It covers the complete marketplace lifecycle in a single system: listing, private offers, co-sell, CPQ, metering, billing, revenue reconciliation, and ERP sync. Three capabilities set Suger apart: - **Quote-to-cash automation.** The only platform connecting the full deal flow from CPQ quote to marketplace offer to entitlement to revenue recognition. Finance teams get clean revenue data without reconciling across systems. - **Usage metering and billing flexibility.** Meters consumption across AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single interface, with data flowing directly into billing systems like Stripe, Metronome, Orb, and Chargebee. Teams can offer consumption pricing without building custom metering infrastructure. - **Multi-cloud at scale.** Supports six marketplaces (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle) — the broadest coverage in the category. Listings, offers, co-sell, and reporting run from one system with 25+ native integrations. 250+ software companies use Suger, including Intel, Snowflake, Notion, Webflow, and Fivetran. Customers report a 3x increase in AWS marketplace deal volume and 140% higher contract values. This guide covered the full Marketplace journey: why it matters, what it costs, how to list, how deals work, how co-sell scales, what programs are available, and what breaks as you grow. The pattern across every section: things start manual and eventually need automation as deal volume, partner count, and operational complexity increase. Suger helps ISVs operationalize everything this guide describes — from listing to private offers to co-sell to revenue reconciliation.

It supports SaaS, AMIs, containers, ML models, AI agents, data products, and professional services. How long does it take to list on AWS Marketplace? + AWS states 7–10 business days for SaaS and AMI publication assuming no errors. Plan for 2–4 weeks end-to-end. AWS recommends 45 days lead time for planned launches. A Cloud GTM platform like Suger takes a submitted listing live in 5–10 business days. What percentage does AWS Marketplace take? + 3% for SaaS public offers. Private offers are tiered: 3% under $1M, 2% for $1M–$10M, 1.5% above $10M. Renewals are 1.5%. Server listings (AMI, container, ML) are 20%. CPPO adds 0.5%. Professional services are 2.5%. What is a private offer on AWS Marketplace? + A custom deal for a specific buyer with negotiated pricing, payment schedule, term length, and contract language. When the buyer accepts, it becomes a binding agreement. Most enterprise Marketplace revenue flows through private offers. What is CPPO on AWS Marketplace? + Channel Partner Private Offers let approved resellers extend private offers to buyers on the ISV's behalf. The ISV sets terms and issues a selling authorization. The partner marks up from wholesale cost. CPPO adds a 0.5% fee uplift. What is ACE on AWS? + ACE (APN Customer Engagements) is AWS's co-sell pipeline system. ISVs register opportunities, AWS validates them, and field sellers engage qualified accounts. For AWS-referred opportunities, partners have 5 business days to accept or reject. What is the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR)? + A self-service review validating your solution against AWS Well-Architected best practices. Not required to list, but required to achieve Validated status — which unlocks ISV Accelerate and co-selling with AWS field sellers. Valid for three years. How do I qualify for AWS ISV Accelerate? + You need a GA Marketplace listing, ACE eligibility, Validated or Differentiated status, 5 launched opportunities and 15 qualified opportunities in ACE in the past 12 months, co-sell training completion, and $2,000 minimum in recognized AWS account revenue. Do AWS Marketplace purchases count against EDP commitments? + Yes. AWS states that Marketplace purchases qualify against Enterprise Discount Program commitments, allowing buyers to draw down cloud spend they've already committed rather than requesting new budget. Can I change my pricing model after listing? + No. Once published — even to limited visibility for testing — the pricing model is permanently locked. A different model requires a new listing entirely. What is an agreement-based offer (ABO)? + A mechanism to modify an existing private offer mid-contract — pricing amendments, product additions, payment schedule changes, or term extensions — without creating a new offer from scratch. The buyer accepts through the standard Marketplace workflow. How does AWS Marketplace billing work for buyers? + AWS bills the buyer through their existing AWS account and consolidates Marketplace charges into their monthly bill. For private offers, invoicing follows the payment schedule defined in the offer terms. What is a Cloud GTM platform? + Software that automates marketplace operations — listing management, private offers, co-sell synchronization, billing, and revenue reconciliation — across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Replaces manual workflows that break at scale. Suger is the leading platform in this category. How do AWS Marketplace disbursements work? + AWS collects payment from the buyer and disburses revenue to the seller monthly, minus transaction fees. As of May 2025, AWS supports partial disbursements for partially paid invoices. What are the benefits of selling on AWS Marketplace? + Access to pre-committed enterprise cloud budgets (EDP), faster procurement (weeks instead of months), co-sell support from AWS field teams, and global billing infrastructure handled by AWS. Marketplace deals bypass traditional vendor onboarding entirely. ## Launch on AWS Marketplace faster. Suger handles listings, private offers, ACE co-sell, metering, and disbursement reconciliation — all from one platform.

Azure Marketplace is Microsoft's cloud software storefront where Azure customers discover and buy third-party applications, virtual machines, container images, managed applications, and services. It integrates directly into the Azure Portal, which means marketplace solutions surface alongside Microsoft's own services during procurement. For ISVs, Azure Marketplace opens access to a buyer base that's particularly strong in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government) and any organization that has standardized on Microsoft's cloud. The average enterprise Azure customer carries a multi-million-dollar MACC commitment, and marketplace purchases count directly against it. ## MACC drawdown — the budget unlock The Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) is a contractual agreement where enterprise customers commit to spending a specific amount on Azure over a defined period — typically 3 years. In exchange, Microsoft offers discounted pricing, dedicated support, and enterprise-grade terms. Marketplace purchases count against MACC. For the buyer, this fundamentally changes the procurement conversation: - They're not spending new budget — they're drawing down a commitment they already have - Procurement teams skip 4-8 weeks of vendor onboarding because Microsoft is the counterparty - Finance treats the purchase as an Azure expense, not a new software line item For the seller, MACC is the #1 argument for listing on Azure. Every qualified enterprise prospect with a Microsoft footprint has MACC as a buying lever — your job is to surface it during discovery. ## Listing types on Azure Marketplace Azure supports four main listing types. The right choice depends on delivery model and where you want the product to surface. Listing type Best for Notes SaaS Offer Cloud-hosted software Most common. Transactable. Supports flat-rate, per-user, and metered pricing. Virtual Machine Software deployed as Azure VM images Buyer deploys directly into their Azure subscription. Per-hour or BYOL billing. Managed Application Packaged multi-resource deployments Publisher manages the application; consumer sees it as a single-resource subscription. Azure Container Offer Container-based software Listed through Azure Container Registry. Supports AKS deployment. Most modern ISVs list as SaaS Offers. [Suger automates SaaS listing](/platform/product-listing/) across Azure, AWS, and GCP from one dashboard. ## IP Co-Sell Ready — the status that matters "IP Co-Sell Ready" is a status Microsoft grants to qualifying ISV offers. It signals to Microsoft sellers that the product is transactable, validated, and eligible for co-sell incentives. Co-Sell Ready offers get surfaced in Microsoft's internal seller tools ahead of non-qualifying listings. Eligibility requires: - An active Transact offer (List Only doesn't qualify) - Completed Partner Center product validation - At least one successful marketplace transaction - Properly configured co-sell solution cards in Partner Center - Regional availability spanning key markets Once granted, Microsoft sellers can earn incentives for introducing your product to customers — which creates a real pipeline engine. Teams that pursue Co-Sell Ready status within the first 90 days of listing accelerate co-sell pipeline meaningfully. ## Partner Center — where everything happens Partner Center is Microsoft's hub for managing your entire marketplace presence. It's where you: - Create and maintain offers (SaaS, VM, Managed Apps) - Configure pricing, plans, and regional availability - Submit offers for validation and publish them - Access analytics, sales reports, and payout data - Manage co-sell solution cards and referral pipeline - Register opportunities in the co-sell system Partner Center has a learning curve. Most ISVs burn several weeks learning which tab controls what — notably, co-sell referrals, technical validation, and payout configuration live in different parts of the UI. [Suger's Partner Center integration](/platform/integrations/) abstracts this: offers and referrals flow from your CRM to Partner Center automatically. ## Private offers on Azure Azure supports private offers similar to AWS — custom-priced agreements sent to a specific Azure customer. The buyer accepts the offer from the Azure Portal, and billing flows through their Azure invoice (which counts against MACC). Key mechanics: - Offers can be flat-rate, metered, or hybrid - Contract duration up to 3 years - Custom billing schedules — annual upfront, quarterly, monthly - Optional discount tiers (e.g., volume discounts for multi-year commits) - EULA customization for enterprise terms Manually creating Azure private offers through Partner Center is slow. [Automate the workflow](/platform/private-offers/) to generate offers from CRM data and route approvals through your existing deal desk. ## Metered billing on Azure Marketplace For usage-based products, Azure uses the **Marketplace Metered Billing API**. Your application submits usage events (dimensions, quantities, timestamps) and Microsoft bills the customer accordingly. Differences from AWS metering: - Azure requires usage to be reported within 24 hours of consumption — shorter window than AWS - Dimensions are defined per-plan, and changing them after launch is restricted - Usage events are atomic — you can't retroactively adjust reported quantities without a support ticket Instrument your metering pipeline with retries, DLQs, and monitoring from day one. Unreported usage is lost revenue. ## Transact vs List Only — pick Transact Azure Marketplace lets you publish in two modes: - **Transact** — billing flows through Microsoft. Unlocks MACC drawdown, Co-Sell Ready status, and seller incentives. - **List Only** — marketplace presence is effectively a brochure. Buyers click through to your website to transact outside the marketplace. No MACC drawdown, no co-sell credit. Many ISVs start with List Only because it's faster. It's almost always the wrong call. Without Transact, buyers don't get the MACC benefit — removing the single biggest reason they'd buy on the marketplace. Go Transact from day one, even if it means a slower launch. ## Common mistakes on Azure Marketplace ### 1\. Launching List Only You lose MACC drawdown and co-sell eligibility. The buyer gets zero incentive to transact through the marketplace vs direct. Go Transact. ### 2\. Ignoring IP Co-Sell Ready Without the Co-Sell Ready badge, Microsoft sellers have no reason to surface your product to their accounts. Pursue the status within 90 days of launch. ### 3\. Overlooking Partner Center analytics Partner Center provides detailed telemetry on offer impressions, subscriptions, and seller engagement. Most teams never look at it. Review quarterly to identify conversion gaps. ### 4\. Disconnected co-sell data Microsoft's co-sell opportunities live in Partner Center, not in your CRM. Without a sync, attribution breaks and leadership can't measure partner-sourced pipeline. [Integrate Partner Center with Salesforce or HubSpot](/platform/cosell/). ### 5\. Skipping regional availability If your offer is only available in the US, you're invisible to EU and APAC Azure customers. Configure regional availability broadly from launch. ## Frequently asked questions What is Azure Marketplace? + Azure Marketplace is Microsoft's cloud software storefront where customers buy third-party applications, data, and services that run on Azure. It integrates directly with Azure billing, lets customers draw down their MACC commitment, and surfaces solutions inside the Azure Portal and Microsoft AppSource. What is MACC and why does it matter? + MACC (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment) is an enterprise agreement where customers commit to a minimum Azure spend over a defined period. Marketplace purchases count against MACC, which makes procurement drastically faster — buyers spend money they've already budgeted rather than seeking new approvals. How is Azure Marketplace different from AppSource? + Azure Marketplace targets IT and developers — infrastructure, dev tools, and platform services. AppSource targets business users — business applications, industry solutions, and Microsoft 365 add-ons. Many ISVs list on both under one Partner Center account. What is IP Co-Sell Ready? + IP Co-Sell Ready is a status Microsoft grants to qualifying ISV offers. It signals to Microsoft sellers that the product is validated, transactable through the marketplace, and eligible for co-sell incentives. Co-Sell Ready offers get priority visibility to Microsoft field teams. What's the difference between Transact and List Only? + A Transact listing handles billing through the marketplace — customers pay Microsoft, Microsoft pays you. A List Only listing is a brochure-style presence where the transaction happens outside the marketplace. Transact offers unlock MACC drawdown and co-sell incentives; List Only does not. What is the Azure Marketplace transaction fee? + Microsoft charges 3% on Transact offers — one of the most competitive rates across cloud marketplaces. There are no additional listing fees. How long does Azure Marketplace listing take? + Manual listing takes 3-6 weeks once the product is ready, largely due to Partner Center validation cycles and certification for VM/Managed App offers. SaaS Transact offers are typically fastest. With a Cloud GTM platform, a submitted listing goes live in 5–10 business days. ## Launch on Azure Marketplace faster.

A go-to-market (GTM) strategy is how a company brings its product to buyers: the channels, pricing, sales motions, and partnerships that drive revenue. Cloud GTM is the specific go-to-market strategy independent software vendors (ISVs) use to sell software through cloud provider marketplaces: AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and [Google Cloud Marketplace](/resources/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/). It covers how companies list, price, transact, and co-sell through these marketplaces to reach their buyers. In practice, Cloud GTM gives ISVs four things: - Access to buyers who already procure through cloud marketplaces - Co-sell support from cloud provider field teams - The ability to close deals against pre-committed cloud budgets - Faster deal cycles through standardized, pre-approved procurement ## What are the benefits of Cloud GTM? ![Why buyers prefer the marketplace: a $20M cloud commitment chart showing software purchases draw down existing budget, highlighting faster procurement, larger deal sizes, and buyer-initiated deals](/guides/cloud-gtm-buyer-preference.png) Marketplace purchases draw down pre-committed cloud spend, removing the budget ceiling on enterprise deals. Cloud GTM matters because it gives ISVs (independent software vendors) access to faster procurement, larger deals, and net-new pipeline through cloud provider partnerships. As enterprise buyers consolidate software purchasing through their cloud providers, the companies selling through those marketplaces are capturing revenue that traditional direct sales motions cannot reach. **Pipeline:** Co-selling with cloud provider reps gives ISVs access to accounts and budgets that traditional sales cannot reach. Cloud reps are incentivized to help customers consume their committed spend, which means they actively surface opportunities for third-party software. AWS alone reports over 3 million active marketplace subscriptions. **Deal velocity:** Committed spend programs (PPA, MACC, CUDs) change the approval process. When a buyer's software purchase counts against the budget they've already committed to a cloud provider, it no longer competes with other line items for new funding. That single change removes the most common stall point in enterprise procurement. **Deal size:** Marketplace deals tend to be larger because committed spend removes the budget ceiling that limits traditional contracts. Buyers can structure multi-year or consumption-based agreements using funds that are already allocated, which makes larger commitments easier to approve internally. [Canalys](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hyperscaler-cloud-marketplace-sales-hit-us85-billion-2028-canalys-4inac/) reported $16B in enterprise software sold through hyperscaler marketplaces in 2023, growing at 84% year over year, and the trajectory has only steepened since. The B2B software market exceeded $974B in 2023, and cloud marketplaces are the fastest-growing distribution channel in enterprise software. Trusted by 250+ software companies ![Intel](/home/partners/intel.svg) ![Snowflake](/home/partners/snowflake.svg) ![Notion](/home/partners/notion.svg) ![Webflow](/home/partners/webflow.svg) ![Fivetran](/home/partners/fivetran.svg) ![Ramp](/home/partners/ramp.svg) ## How is Cloud GTM different from traditional GTM? Traditional GTM runs through direct sales, custom contracts, and net-new budget approvals. Cloud GTM runs through marketplace infrastructure, standardized terms, and buyers' existing cloud commitments. Traditional GTM Cloud GTM Sales channel Direct sales, resellers, standard marketing Cloud marketplaces and co-selling with cloud providers Buyer's budget New budget approval for each purchase Buyer draws down pre-committed cloud spend Procurement Vendor onboarding, security review, legal cycles Reduced or eliminated through marketplace pre-approval Contracting Custom service agreements, scope of work, order forms Standardized EULAs or private offer terms Co-sell No cloud partner involvement Cloud provider reps co-sell to accelerate deals Billing & finance Seller invoices and collects Cloud provider invoices, collects, and disburses The difference that matters most operationally: in traditional GTM, every new vendor requires its own procurement cycle. In Cloud GTM, the buyer's existing cloud agreement covers the transaction, which is why marketplace-assisted deals routinely skip 4-8 weeks of legal and finance review. ## How Cloud GTM actually works A Cloud GTM deal moves through four stages: finding buyers with committed cloud budget, structuring the deal through the marketplace, co-selling with cloud provider reps, and managing fulfillment, billing, and expansion. ### Find buyers with cloud budget Enterprises pre-commit budgets to cloud providers through spend commitment programs. Software purchases made through the marketplace count against these commitments, which changes buyer motivation entirely. - **AWS PPA** (Private Pricing Agreement) — enterprise commit to minimum annual AWS spend in exchange for discounted pricing - **Azure MACC** (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment) — contractual agreement to spend a specific amount on Azure over a defined period - **GCP CUDs** (Committed Use Discounts) — discounted pricing in exchange for committing to a minimum spend or resource level for 1-3 years A company with $20M committed to AWS has a financial incentive to buy software through AWS Marketplace because it burns down spend they've already budgeted. Identifying which accounts carry active commitments is the first step in prioritizing Cloud GTM pipeline. Common signals for finding these buyers: - Co-sell conversations with cloud provider reps - Account mapping exercises between ISV and cloud sales teams - Buyer-provided procurement preferences during the sales cycle - Cloud buyer intent data from Cloud GTM platforms ### Structure the deal Cloud marketplaces support three transaction paths: - **Public listing** — discoverable and purchasable by any marketplace buyer - **Private offer** — custom-priced deal created for a specific buyer with negotiated terms - **Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO)** — a reseller transacts on behalf of the buyer and owns the billing relationship Most ISVs start with private offers for enterprise deals and layer in public listings and CPPOs as the motion matures. Each path serves a different buyer motion and deal structure. ### Co-sell with cloud providers Co-selling is the motion where ISVs and cloud provider field reps work together to identify, support, and close deals. Each hyperscaler runs its own co-sell program: - **AWS:** ACE (APN Customer Engagements) - **Microsoft:** Partner Center - **GCP:** Partner Advantage The process: 1. ISV registers an opportunity in the relevant co-sell system 2. Cloud rep validates the opportunity and attaches to the deal 3. Cloud rep provides buyer introductions, account intelligence, and procurement support 4. Deal closes through the marketplace, and the cloud rep gets credit toward their quota Cloud reps carry quota tied to their customers' cloud consumption, so they are financially motivated to support purchases that burn down committed spend. Co-sell requires regular account mapping, shared pipeline visibility, and consistent follow-up. ISVs that run structured win-wire programs (sharing closed deal outcomes back to cloud reps) get pulled into more deals as a result. ### Fulfill, bill, and expand **Fulfillment.** Buyer is provisioned into the product, typically automated through marketplace APIs that trigger account creation on offer acceptance. **Billing and metering.** For usage-based products, consumption is tracked and reported to the marketplace for invoicing. For flat-rate contracts, the cloud provider handles billing automatically. **Disbursement.** Cloud provider collects payment and disburses revenue to the ISV, minus a transaction fee (typically 2-3%, varies by program tier, deal type, and partner status). **Renewals and expansion.** Marketplace customers are renewed or expanded through new private offers. The same committed spend dynamics apply, making expansion a lower-friction path than renegotiating direct contracts. ## How to build a Cloud GTM motion ![The three pillars of Cloud GTM diagram: marketplace distribution creates the transaction path, partnerships and co-sell create the pipeline, and operations and systems make both scalable — each pillar reinforces the others](/guides/cloud-gtm-three-pillars.png) The three pillars of Cloud GTM — distribution, partnerships, and operations — reinforce each other. Building a Cloud GTM motion means making specific decisions across three pillars: listing on and transacting through cloud marketplaces, partnerships and co-sell with cloud providers, and the operational systems that make both repeatable. ### Selling through cloud marketplaces Selling on cloud marketplaces starts with defining your Cloud GTM Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). The most valuable accounts for marketplace selling share specific traits: - Active committed spend (PPA, MACC, CUDs) - Teams already purchasing software through marketplaces - Procurement processes that favor pre-approved cloud channels - High cloud consumption on a specific provider ICP determines marketplace selection. If 70% of your buyer base runs on AWS, AWS Marketplace is the starting point. Other factors include cloud provider field coverage in your target verticals, partner program maturity (AWS ISV Accelerate vs. Azure IP Co-Sell vs. Google Partner Advantage), and where competitive gaps exist in marketplace categories. Once you have defined your ICP, pricing decisions follow: - **Offer structure** — usage-based (consumption metered through the marketplace), committed contracts (flat-rate annual or multi-year), or hybrid - **Public vs. private** — public listings drive inbound discovery. Private offers close enterprise revenue. Most marketplace ARR flows through private offers. - **Fee absorption** — cloud providers charge certain transaction fees. Whether you absorb, adjust list pricing, or treat it as distribution cost affects margin and deal velocity. Products with clear marketplace SKUs and pre-approved discount thresholds generate less friction in co-sell conversations, which connects distribution directly to the next pillar. ### Partnerships and co-sell Building a winning co-sell program can make your Cloud GTM strategy highly effective. Some best practices that we've seen: - **Partner program enrollment** — each cloud marketplace has eligibility requirements before co-sell engagement is available. These are tied to technical readiness, listing status, and deal history. - **Account mapping** — compare your target accounts against cloud provider customer bases. Prioritize overlap where accounts have large committed spend and active cloud field coverage. - **The "better together" narrative** — cloud reps need collateral that positions your solution as a complement to the cloud platform: what workload problem it solves, what cloud consumption it drives, and what joint outcomes customers have achieved. - **Field engagement rhythm** — shared pipeline reviews, regular updates with cloud reps, and win-wire programs that communicate closed deal outcomes. Consistent engagement turns one-off co-sell into a repeatable pipeline channel. - **Co-marketing** — co-marketing campaigns with cloud providers, marketplace-specific landing pages, and enablement content for cloud reps. Marketing supports co-sell by generating partner-led demand and equipping cloud field teams to position your product. ### Operations, systems, and workflows The operational layer makes your Cloud GTM strategy measurable and scalable. - **CRM to co-sell sync** — deal registration, opportunity status, and attribution flowing between Salesforce/HubSpot and ACE/Partner Center/PSC without manual re-entry - **Private offer workflows** — approval routing, deal desk involvement, and pricing governance that scales as offer volume increases. This is the first operational process that breaks when Cloud GTM grows. - **Finance and revenue operations** — marketplace disbursement tracking, revenue recognition for marketplace deals, and reconciliation between cloud provider payouts and internal records - **Reporting and analytics** — unified view of marketplace ARR contribution, private offer conversion rates, co-sell win rates, and pipeline sourced through cloud partnerships The three pillars reinforce each other. Distribution creates a transaction path. Partnerships create pipeline. Operations make both scalable. ## How to measure Cloud GTM success The metrics that matter most for measuring Cloud GTM success: marketplace converted pipeline, average deal size, offer velocity, co-sell win rate, revenue by cloud, and financial operations health. These six tell you whether the marketplace channel is growing, how fast deals are moving, and whether your partnerships are producing. **Marketplace pipeline and revenue:** Track converted pipeline (total deal value of accepted marketplace offers) by quarter and year. Measure marketplace Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) as a percentage of total ARR to gauge channel maturity. Early-stage Cloud GTM programs typically see 5-10% of revenue through the marketplace. Mature programs reach 20-30%+. **Average deal size.** Marketplace ACV compared to direct deal ACV, tracked across periods (current quarter, current year, trailing 12 months). Marketplace deals tied to committed spend tend to produce larger contracts. Rising ACV over time signals that your pricing and packaging are working for cloud buyers. **Offer velocity:** - **Private offer acceptance time** — typically there are days between offer creation and buyer acceptance — a typical range is 3-7 days. Shorter acceptance times signal clean offer structure and smooth buyer approval. - **Private offer volume** — total offers accepted per period and a leading indicator of channel growth. Track this volume alongside converted pipeline to confirm volume is scaling with revenue. **Co-sell win rate and engagement:** These metrics live in cloud provider co-sell systems (ACE, Partner Center, PSC) and measure partnership strength: - **Co-sell win rate** — close rate on deals with cloud rep involvement. The strongest proof point for co-sell ROI when presenting to leadership. - **Co-sell engagement volume** — opportunities registered in co-sell systems per quarter. Shows whether your team is consistently feeding the co-sell pipeline. - **Inbound vs. outbound ratio** — share of co-sell opportunities that cloud reps bring to you vs. you registering with them. A rising inbound ratio signals growing partner confidence. **Revenue by cloud:** Converted pipeline split by AWS, Azure, and GCP. Shows which marketplace is producing and where to invest more co-sell effort, marketing, and operational resources. This is essential as you expand from single-cloud to multi-cloud. **Financial health:** The metrics finance teams track: - **Disbursement status** — whether cloud provider payouts are arriving on schedule, and reconciliation time against internal records - **Contracts approaching renewal** — marketplace contracts expiring in the current month or quarter. Renewal visibility creates expansion opportunities and protects existing revenue. - **Marketplace fee tracking** — transaction fees (2-3%) across your portfolio, monitored as a cost of distribution against the deal velocity and size benefits Measure these quarterly at minimum. Individual numbers provide useful context, but quarter-over-quarter trajectory is what tells you whether the Cloud GTM motion is scaling. ## What teams are involved in Cloud GTM? Cloud GTM is a cross-functional motion. Partnerships and alliances typically lead the strategy, but execution spans sales, RevOps, finance, engineering, and marketing. The most common failure is treating Cloud GTM as a partnerships-only initiative without operational buy-in from the rest of the org. Team Role Key people What they own Executive Leadership Approves C-Suite Budget and headcount for Cloud GTM, marketplace revenue targets, comp policy decisions, treating Cloud GTM as a core revenue channel Partnerships & Alliances Owns VP/Head of Alliances, Cloud Alliance Managers, Partner Development Managers Cloud provider relationships, co-sell strategy, partner program enrollment (ISV Accelerate, Azure IP Co-Sell, Partner Advantage), account mapping, field engagement Sales Executes VP Sales, Account Executives, Sales Engineers Running marketplace deals, co-selling with cloud reps, identifying buyer committed spend during discovery, coaching teams to sell through cloud channels RevOps / Sales Ops Operationalizes RevOps Managers, Sales Ops Leads, Deal Desk CRM integration with co-sell systems (ACE, Partner Center, PSC), deal registration accuracy, private offer approval workflows, account mapping data, influence attribution Finance Governs CFO, Controller, Finance Ops Pricing governance, discount thresholds, private offer policies, marketplace fee modeling, revenue recognition, disbursement reconciliation Product & Engineering Builds Engineering Leads, Product Managers, Integration Engineers Marketplace technical integrations, listing requirements, metering infrastructure, API provisioning, fulfillment automation Marketing Enables Partner Marketing Manager, Product Marketing, Demand Gen Marketplace listing content, "better together" narrative, co-marketing campaigns with cloud providers, sales enablement for cloud reps, marketplace demand programs As the channel matures, many companies add dedicated Cloud GTM roles: cloud alliance managers focused on a single hyperscaler, partner marketing specialists running marketplace demand programs, and marketplace operations leads managing offer workflows and finance reconciliation full-time. ## How long does it take to build a Cloud GTM motion? ![Cloud GTM maturity timeline showing four stages: Launch (weeks 1–8, get listed, first private offer), Early traction (months 2–6, repeatable deal flow, co-sell activated), Operational scale (months 6–12, measurable channel, multi-cloud begins), and Mature channel (months 12–18+, core revenue driver, inbound co-sell)](/guides/cloud-gtm-timeline.png) The four stages of Cloud GTM maturity, from first listing to mature revenue channel. Most SaaS companies can get a marketplace listing live in 5–10 business days once it is submitted — the variable is the marketplace review queue, not the work on your side. Building a fully operational Cloud GTM motion with co-sell, private offer workflows, and repeatable revenue takes 6-18 months depending on internal readiness and the number of marketplaces involved. The timeline breaks into four maturity stages. ### Stage 1: Launch (weeks 1-8) Get listed and close your first marketplace deal. - Select your first marketplace based on customer cloud spend concentration - Define which SKUs will be public vs. private, and how they map to usage dimensions or commitment levels - Complete legal and compliance groundwork: T&Cs, security documentation, tax configuration, refund policies. This is the most common source of listing delays. - Build technical integration and submit your listing to the cloud provider - Enroll in the cloud provider's partner program - Close your first private offer to validate the transaction workflow Companies using a Cloud GTM platform often compress this stage to 2-4 weeks. The output is a live listing, a defined SKU structure, and proof that the transaction path works. ### Stage 2: Early traction (months 2-6) Build repeatable deal flow and activate co-sell. - Route existing customer renewals through the marketplace. This builds transaction volume, trains your team on private offer workflows, and establishes marketplace revenue history with cloud providers, all without depending on net-new pipeline. - Register your first co-sell opportunities in ACE, Partner Center, or PSC - Run initial account mapping with cloud provider field reps - Establish private offer approval workflows (deal desk, finance, legal sign-off) - Connect your CRM to marketplace and co-sell systems - Build co-sell enablement content (solution briefs, "better together" narrative) - Close 5-15 marketplace deals (a mix of renewals and new business) to establish pattern and internal confidence By the end of this stage, your team should have a working co-sell relationship with at least one cloud provider rep team and a private offer workflow that runs through your CRM. ### Stage 3: Operational scale (months 6-12) At this stage, Cloud GTM becomes a measurable revenue channel. - Private offer volume increases and approval workflows need to handle scale - Co-sell becomes a consistent pipeline source with regular account mapping cadences - Finance defines revenue recognition policy for marketplace deals, including how disbursement timing, fee netting, and multi-year contract structures differ from direct sales - Marketing launches co-marketing campaigns and marketplace demand programs - Reporting covers marketplace ARR contribution, co-sell win rate, and offer velocity - Second marketplace launch begins (if applicable) Companies at this stage typically see marketplaces contributing 10-15% of new business pipeline. This is also the point where manual processes start to strain and companies evaluate Cloud GTM platforms. ### Stage 4: Mature channel (months 12-18+) Cloud GTM operates as a core revenue channel with the same operational rigor as direct sales. - Marketplace revenue reaches 20-30%+ of total ARR - Multi-cloud presence across AWS, Azure, and GCP - Co-sell generates inbound opportunities from cloud provider reps - Renewals and expansion run through marketplace - Finance has clean revenue recognition and automated disbursement reconciliation - Dedicated Cloud GTM roles exist (cloud alliance managers, marketplace operations, partner marketing) The timeline compresses when companies invest in Cloud GTM operations early: CRM integration, offer workflow automation, and co-sell data sync. Companies that try to scale manually through Stages 2 and 3 often need to retrofit tooling before reaching Stage 4. ## What are the biggest challenges in Cloud GTM? The biggest Cloud GTM challenges map to specific stages of maturity: listing speed during launch, offer workflow efficiency during early traction, co-sell data integrity at scale, marketplace revenue reconciliation, and multi-cloud operational management. Teams that recognize these early and invest in the right Cloud GTM infrastructure, whether through a platform like Suger or structured internal processes, are best positioned to move through each stage without stalling. ### Listing takes longer than expected Getting listed on a cloud marketplace involves technical integration, legal and compliance preparation, SKU definition, tax configuration, and cloud provider review cycles. Without a structured process, companies regularly spend 6-12 months getting their first listing live. Provider-specific requirements, compliance back-and-forth, and internal alignment across engineering, legal, and finance are what consume the timeline. **What to do:** - Map provider-specific listing requirements before you start building - Prepare legal groundwork (T&Cs, security documentation, tax configuration) in parallel with technical integration - Companies that work with a Cloud GTM platform typically get a submitted listing live in 5–10 business days ### Private offers run on email and spreadsheets The first few deals close through manual effort. Someone logs into the marketplace console, builds the offer, emails the buyer, waits for acceptance, updates the CRM. At 15-20+ offers per month, approvals get lost, offers expire before buyers accept, and the team creating offers becomes a bottleneck. **What to do:** - Build approval workflows with clear routing (deal desk, finance, legal) - Set pre-approved pricing thresholds so standard deals move without manual sign-off - Connect offer creation to your CRM so reps work from one system ### Co-sell data fragments across systems Opportunities registered in ACE, Partner Center, or PSC are disconnected from your CRM. Attribution becomes unreliable. Leadership can't answer how much pipeline is partner-sourced vs. partner-influenced. **What to do:** - Integrate co-sell systems with your CRM so deal registration and status sync automatically - Define attribution rules for partner-sourced vs. partner-influenced before volume makes it hard to classify retroactively - Run regular data audits to catch sync gaps early ### Finance can't reconcile marketplace revenue Each marketplace has different disbursement timing, fee structures, and reporting formats. Revenue recognition for marketplace deals requires its own policy because the mechanics differ from direct sales. **What to do:** - Define rev rec policy for marketplace transactions before deal volume makes it urgent - Set up disbursement tracking that maps cloud provider payouts to internal records - Involve finance in Cloud GTM planning from the start ### Multi-cloud multiplies everything Each additional marketplace adds a separate console, co-sell system, reporting stream, and disbursement process. The operational model built for one cloud needs to scale across two or three. **What to do:** - Treat second marketplace launch as process replication, not a net-new build - Centralize reporting and offer management across clouds before adding the third - Evaluate whether current tooling supports multi-cloud, or whether a unified platform is the right investment ## What is a Cloud GTM platform? A Cloud GTM platform is software that helps ISVs manage the operational side of selling through cloud marketplaces. It connects listings, private offers, co-sell workflows, billing, and reporting into a single system instead of requiring teams to work across separate marketplace consoles, co-sell portals, and internal tools. Core capabilities of a Cloud GTM platform: - **Listing management** — publish and maintain product listings across AWS, Azure, and GCP from one place - **Private offer workflows** — create, route, approve, and track offers without switching between marketplace consoles and CRM - **Co-sell automation** — sync opportunities between your CRM and cloud provider co-sell systems (ACE, Partner Center, PSC) - **Billing and metering** — track usage, manage disbursements, and reconcile marketplace revenue - **Analytics and reporting** — unified view of marketplace pipeline, deal velocity, co-sell performance, and revenue by cloud ### What are the benefits of a Cloud GTM platform? The benefit of having a Cloud GTM platform is replacing the combination of marketplace console logins, spreadsheets, email-based approvals, and manual CRM updates that most companies start with — and that cause operational gaps, manual delays, and issues with financial reporting. In addition to the automation of busy work, purchasing a Cloud GTM solution from an AWS, Microsoft, or Google approved vendor (like Suger) can make ISVs eligible for exclusive credits that they would not have access to if they try to build the cloud marketplace integrations themselves. ## When do you need a Cloud GTM platform? A Cloud GTM platform becomes necessary when the operational complexity of marketplace selling outgrows what manual workflows can handle. Most ISVs look at these six signals to indicate it's time: **Your listing requires engineering resources:** Building and maintaining direct integrations with cloud marketplace APIs takes engineering time. Each marketplace has its own technical requirements, and keeping integrations current as APIs evolve means ongoing maintenance. A Cloud GTM platform provides pre-built, API-first marketplace connections that require zero engineering, freeing your team to focus on product development. **Private offer volume is increasing:** When your team is creating 15-20+ private offers per month, manual offer creation through marketplace consoles becomes a bottleneck. Offers take longer to build, approvals stall in email threads, and pricing errors start to surface. A platform with offer workflow automation eliminates these friction points. **Co-sell motion is scaling:** Once co-sell opportunities are flowing through ACE, Partner Center, or PSC, keeping that data in sync with your CRM becomes critical. A platform that connects co-sell systems to your CRM automatically ensures attribution stays accurate and leadership has a reliable view of partner-influenced pipeline. **Finance is spending hours on reconciliation:** Each cloud provider has different disbursement timing, fee structures, and reporting formats. If your finance team is manually mapping marketplace payouts to internal records, that workload grows with every new deal. A platform that automates disbursement tracking and integrates with your finance systems gives finance clean data without manual effort. **You're launching on a second marketplace:** Running one marketplace manually is manageable. Adding a second means a separate console, separate co-sell system, separate reporting, and separate disbursement stream. A platform that centralizes multi-cloud operations keeps the second launch from doubling your operational overhead. **Marketplace deals have slow deal cycles:** If reps prefer direct deals because marketplace workflows are slower or more confusing than their standard CRM process, the channel stalls. A platform that embeds marketplace deal execution into Salesforce or HubSpot makes marketplace deals feel like any other deal in the CRM. Reps sell through the path of least resistance. If you're experiencing some of these, the operational cost of manual Cloud GTM is likely exceeding what a platform would cost — and you're losing out on potential revenue because of time spent doing the busy work. ## What to look for in a Cloud GTM platform The right Cloud GTM platform covers the full lifecycle of marketplace selling: listing, private offers, co-sell, billing, revenue operations, and analytics. These are the capabilities that matter most when evaluating options. **Marketplace coverage.** How many cloud marketplaces does the platform support natively? AWS, Azure, and GCP are the baseline. Some platforms also support Snowflake, Alibaba, or other emerging marketplaces. Broader coverage matters as your buyer base spreads across clouds. **Private offer workflows.** Can your team create, route, approve, and track private offers from within your CRM? CRM-native offer management is the single biggest factor in how fast your team can scale offer volume. **Co-sell automation.** Does the platform sync opportunities between your CRM and cloud co-sell systems (ACE, Partner Center, PSC)? Bi-directional sync, automatic deal registration, and status updates are what make co-sell operational at scale. **Quote-to-cash coverage.** Some platforms handle listing, offers, and co-sell. Fewer extend through CPQ integration, metering, billing, disbursement tracking, revenue recognition, and ERP sync. Evaluate how far into the post-transaction lifecycle each platform reaches. **CRM and finance integrations.** Salesforce and HubSpot integration is the starting point. The deeper question is whether the platform connects to your finance stack: CPQ, billing systems (Stripe, Metronome, Chargebee), accounting software (NetSuite, QuickBooks), and data warehouses. **AI and workflow automation.** Can the platform automate the full marketplace lifecycle so there are no operational gaps requiring manual intervention? Can it automate repetitive tasks like co-sell field population, offer creation from CRM data, deal routing, and renewal triggers? Does the platform ensure that all teams feel the data is trustworthy and reliable? The depth of both automation and AI support determines how much operational leverage you gain as volume increases. ## Which is the best Cloud GTM platform in 2026? **Suger** is best for full-lifecycle marketplace operations, from listing through revenue reconciliation.

It covers listing, transacting, and co-selling with cloud providers to reach enterprise buyers and grow marketplace revenue. How is Cloud GTM different from direct sales? + Direct sales runs through your own contracts, billing, and procurement. Cloud GTM runs through marketplace infrastructure where the cloud provider handles invoicing, collection, and disbursement. Buyers purchase using pre-committed cloud spend, which compresses procurement timelines and removes budget approval friction. What is committed spend in Cloud GTM? + Committed spend refers to budget enterprises pre-commit to cloud providers. AWS calls it PPA (Private Pricing Agreement), Azure calls it MACC (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment), and GCP calls it CUDs (Committed Use Discounts). Software purchased through marketplaces counts against these commitments, which is why buyers prefer marketplace procurement. How does co-sell work in Cloud GTM? + ISVs register opportunities in cloud provider co-sell systems: ACE on AWS, Partner Center on Azure, PSC on Google Cloud. Cloud reps attach to deals, provide buyer introductions, and support procurement. They are incentivized to help because marketplace purchases burn down their customers' committed spend. What is a CPPO in Cloud GTM? + A CPPO (Channel Partner Private Offer) is a marketplace transaction where a reseller transacts on behalf of the buyer. The ISV extends a margin to the partner, and the partner owns billing. AWS, Azure, and GCP each have CPPO programs. Common in enterprise deals with existing channel relationships. How long does Cloud GTM take to launch? + With a Cloud GTM platform, a submitted listing typically goes live in 5–10 business days — the variable is the marketplace review queue, not your team. Without one, 6-12 months is common once technical integration, legal preparation, and cloud provider review cycles are added up. Early co-sell traction and initial deals usually follow within 2-6 months of listing. What is a private offer in Cloud GTM? + A private offer is a custom marketplace deal created for a specific buyer with negotiated pricing, terms, and contract length. The buyer accepts through the marketplace, and the cloud provider handles billing. Private offers are how the majority of enterprise Cloud GTM revenue is transacted. How should reps be compensated on marketplace deals? + Comp neutrality is the recommended approach: reps earn the same commission on marketplace deals as direct deals. Cloud providers charge 2-3% transaction fees. If that reduces rep comp, sellers avoid marketplace. Companies that maintain comp neutrality see faster Cloud GTM adoption across sales teams. Is Cloud GTM worth it for early-stage companies? + Yes. ISVs with enterprise buyers on AWS, Azure, or GCP benefit from simplified procurement and access to committed spend budgets at any deal size. Cloud provider partner programs (ISV Accelerate, Azure IP Co-Sell, Partner Advantage) offer co-sell support and marketplace visibility that compounds over time. Can I manage Cloud GTM without a platform? + For the first 5-10 deals, manual processes work. Beyond that, private offer approvals, co-sell data sync, CRM integration, and finance reconciliation become time-consuming. Most ISVs evaluate a Cloud GTM platform once monthly offer volume exceeds 15-20 or they expand to a second marketplace. What does a Cloud GTM team look like? + Partnerships and alliances typically own the strategy. Sales executes marketplace deals and co-sell. RevOps manages CRM integration and deal workflows. Finance handles revenue recognition and disbursement tracking. Engineering maintains marketplace integrations. Marketing supports co-sell enablement and co-marketing with cloud providers. What KPIs should I track for Cloud GTM? + The most important are: marketplace ARR as a percentage of total revenue, marketplace deal velocity vs. direct, co-sell win rate, private offer acceptance time, and revenue split by cloud. Track quarterly. The trajectory matters more than any single data point. What are the best Cloud GTM platforms? + The four leading platforms are Suger, Tackle, Clazar, and Labra. Suger offers the broadest lifecycle coverage (listing through revenue reconciliation) across six marketplaces. Tackle is strong on initial listing. Clazar focuses on co-sell and Salesforce workflows. Labra specializes in co-sell deal registration. What results do companies see from Cloud GTM? + ISVs that invest in Cloud GTM operations consistently report faster deal cycles, larger contract values, and net-new pipeline from co-sell. Suger customers specifically see 3x increase in marketplace deal volume and 140% higher contract values. Results compound as marketplace transaction history and cloud provider relationships grow. ## Start building your Cloud GTM motion.

Cloud GTM sales is the practice of closing software deals through cloud provider marketplaces — AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace — rather than through direct contracts. Reps source pipeline through co-sell with cloud field teams, structure deals as private offers, and the cloud provider handles billing, collection, and disbursement. The mechanics are different from direct sales, but the seller's job is the same: find the right buyer, qualify the opportunity, run the discovery and demo, structure the offer, and close. What changes is the channel — and the channel rewires almost every operational step downstream of "buyer agrees to buy." The size of the prize is what makes the motion worth rebuilding: enterprise buyers now sit on roughly $348B in committed cloud budget, and 62% of companies in Partner Insight's 2025 report said cloud marketplaces are their largest source of net-new revenue. The buyer demand and the budgets are there. What stalls most teams is the selling motion itself. Three changes drive everything else: - **The buyer transacts against pre-committed cloud budget.** Software purchased through the marketplace draws down PPA (AWS), MACC (Azure), or CUDs (GCP). The buyer's procurement bottleneck disappears. - **Cloud field reps are co-sellers, not referrers.** AWS, Microsoft, and Google reps carry quota tied to their customers' cloud consumption. Marketplace purchases burn down spend they're measured on, so they actively help close. - **The transaction layer moves to the cloud.** Vendor onboarding, security review, payment terms, and legal review are pre-completed in the buyer's cloud contract. The seller no longer owns paperwork. ## How marketplace changes the sales motion The clearest way to understand the shift is rep-by-rep, action-by-action. Same opportunity, two paths: Rep Action Direct Sale Cloud GTM Sale Identify fit Gut feel, or buyer asks first Buyer-intent signals + cloud commitment data on CRM record Source pipeline Outbound, SDR, inbound Co-sell with cloud field rep + cloud-provided intelligence Quote & offer CPQ → DocuSign → order form Private offer published from CRM, auto-filled from CPQ Procurement Vendor onboarding, security review, legal cycles Pre-completed; buyer accepts in marketplace console Track status Email follow-ups, sales engineer pings Real-time alerts on viewed / accepted / expiring Forecast CRM pipeline, standard stages Same CRM pipeline, same stages — if wired correctly The motion that fails treats marketplace as a different sales process. The motion that works treats marketplace as the _same_ sales process with a different transaction layer. Reps should not be learning a new methodology — they should be using their existing one with marketplace plumbing underneath. The performance evidence is consistent across published benchmarks: marketplace deals run 27-50% faster (Forrester), close at 65% higher rates with co-sell involvement (Canalys 2024), and produce up to 140% larger contract values (CrowdStrike). ## Compensation: comp neutrality and why it matters Comp neutrality is the single most predictive variable in whether a sales team adopts marketplace. If a rep earns less for closing a deal on the marketplace than for closing the same deal direct, they will avoid the marketplace. No rep is hostile to the channel — they're rational about quota retirement. The cloud providers charge a transaction fee, typically 2-3% depending on program tier and listing type. Three policy choices determine whether that fee creates a rep disincentive: - **Comp neutral.** Rep earns the same commission on marketplace deals as direct. The fee is absorbed at the company level or passed into list pricing. This is table stakes — 64% of ISVs now run comp-neutral models, up from 54% the prior year (Tackle 2024). Anything less and adoption stalls. - **Comp positive.** Rep earns 1.1x to 1.25x commission on marketplace deals for a defined period (typically 2-4 quarters) to accelerate adoption. The economics work because marketplace deals are 27-50% faster and 80-140% larger; paying 110% commission on a 140% deal is a net gain. - **Comp ambiguous.** No explicit policy. Reps assume the worst, default to direct, and the channel never gets a real test. This is the most common cause of stalled Cloud GTM programs. Whatever policy you choose, spell it out in writing before the quarter starts. Include: how marketplace ACV counts toward quota, whether SPIFFs apply, how transaction fees are handled, and what happens when a deal flips from direct to marketplace mid-cycle. ## AE enablement: what reps need to know The single biggest barrier to Cloud GTM sales adoption is reps not knowing how marketplace deals work. This is solved with structured enablement, not osmosis. An effective AE enablement program covers four areas: **The buyer story.** Why buyers want to transact through the marketplace — committed spend, simplified procurement, single vendor list. Reps should be able to position marketplace as a buyer advantage in discovery, not just a fulfillment path the buyer might prefer. **The deal mechanics.** What a private offer is, what a CPPO is, what fields are required, how acceptance works, what the buyer sees, and what the rep sees at each step. Walk through one full lifecycle end-to-end so reps can answer buyer questions without escalating. **The co-sell motion.** Who their AWS, Microsoft, or Google counterpart is for the accounts in their territory. How to register an opportunity in ACE, Partner Center, or PSC. What account intelligence the cloud rep can provide and what the cadence of joint engagement looks like. This is also where the "better together" narrative lives — the joint story reps tell buyers about why your product on the cloud provider's platform produces an outcome neither side delivers alone. Cloud reps need that narrative ready in collateral form before they'll pull you into deals. **The tooling.** Where in the CRM to create a private offer, where to register co-sell, where to find offer status. If the answer is "log into the AWS console," your motion is going to stall — see the [Tooling Reps Need](#tooling) section below. Run enablement quarterly, not once at hire. Marketplace mechanics evolve (new offer types, new co-sell programs, new fee structures), and the reps who close most efficiently are the ones who treat the channel as core competency, not as ancillary skill. ## Sourcing pipeline through co-sell Co-sell is the marketplace equivalent of partner-sourced pipeline — except the partner is the cloud provider and the partner has a quota tied to your customers. That changes the engagement model from "we tip each other deals" to "we work the same account list." The mechanics: 1. **Account mapping.** Share your target account list with your AWS PDM, Azure PDM, or GCP PDM. They share back which accounts have active committed spend, which have current cloud-provider relationships, and which have upcoming renewals or commitment expirations. 2. **Opportunity registration.** When a rep starts working an account in the overlap, they register an opportunity in the cloud co-sell system (ACE for AWS, Partner Center for Azure, PSC for Google). The cloud rep validates and attaches. 3. **Joint working.** Cloud rep provides account intelligence — who controls the budget, what other cloud commitments are at stake, when renewals come up. They make introductions when the ISV rep is talking to the wrong stakeholder. 4. **Closing motion.** Deal moves through the rep's normal CRM pipeline. Cloud rep stays informed at each stage. When the buyer is ready to transact, the cloud rep nudges procurement to use the marketplace path. The most important data point: 62% of companies in the Partner Insight 2025 report said co-sell is now their largest source of net-new revenue. Reps who don't have a co-sell motion are competing for the remaining 38% of the pipeline. ### Start with customer renewals The fastest way to log the first marketplace win is migrating an existing renewal rather than chasing net-new pipeline. The buyer relationship is already there. Approximately 40% of enterprise buyers have cloud commitments large enough to fund the renewal directly. The mechanics are simple: identify accounts with renewals in the next two quarters, cross-reference against active cloud commitments via your cloud PDM, and convert the renewal into a marketplace private offer. After three to five renewal wins, the team has internal proof points — rep references, finance buy-in, cycle-time benchmarks — to expand into net-new co-sell deals. Starting with renewals shortens the path to "we have a working motion" by months. For an in-depth look at the co-sell side of the equation, see the [co-sell guide](/resources/guides/co-sell/). This guide focuses on what reps do once the opportunity is in their pipeline. ## Closing through private offers The private offer is the marketplace equivalent of a quote + order form. It's where the rep gets to control pricing, terms, contract length, payment schedule, and ramp — same negotiation surface as a direct deal, but the buyer accepts in the marketplace console and the cloud provider handles billing. Three offer types matter: - **Private Offer.** ISV sells directly to buyer at custom pricing. Standard structure for enterprise deals. Approximately 85% of enterprise marketplace ARR flows through private offers (Partner Insight 2025); public listings drive discovery, private offers close revenue. - **Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO).** A reseller transacts on the buyer's behalf. ISV extends margin to the partner; partner owns the billing relationship. Common in regulated industries, public sector, and accounts with existing channel relationships. - **Public Offer.** Listed-price purchase from the marketplace catalog. Less common for enterprise; useful for self-serve and PLG motions. What the rep controls inside the offer: list price, discount percentage, payment schedule (annual, multi-year, ramp), service period, EULA or custom EULA, and which entitlements are activated. What the cloud provider controls: the acceptance UX, payment collection, and disbursement timing. Critical: every offer should be created from the CRM, not from the marketplace console. Building offers in the cloud provider's console requires re-entering data the rep already typed into Salesforce or HubSpot. The most common cause of slow private offer cycles is alliances or ops teams handling offer creation while the rep waits. Suger's [private offer workflows](/platform/private-offers/) let reps generate offers from inside the CRM with one click, auto-filled from CPQ data, and routed through approval automatically. One framing worth naming explicitly: marketplace is the ideal channel for a **land-and-expand** motion. The first private offer is typically a smaller commitment than direct contracts allow (because procurement friction is so low) and expansion offers — true-ups, multi-year extensions, multi-product attach — flow through the same marketplace plumbing without re-running procurement. Renewals and expansions through the same marketplace draw down the buyer's existing cloud commitment, which keeps the buyer-side friction near zero across the customer lifecycle. ## Deal desk and approvals Deal desk in Cloud GTM looks like deal desk in direct sales — discount approval, term approval, contract review — with one wrinkle: marketplace deals add a "marketplace fee absorption" decision to every non-standard deal. An effective marketplace deal desk codifies four policies: **Discount thresholds.** Same as direct. The same approval matrix should apply whether the deal closes in the marketplace or out of it. Reps shouldn't get an easier discount path on marketplace deals — that creates the wrong incentives. **Fee handling.** Whether the 2-3% transaction fee is absorbed by the seller, passed through to buyer in list price, or netted from rep commission (avoid this). Most companies absorb the fee at the company level so the buyer sees identical pricing across channels. **Multi-cloud SKUs.** When the same product is listed on AWS, Azure, and GCP, pricing should be consistent. Reps should not be arbitraging cloud marketplaces against each other on the same deal. **Routing speed.** Marketplace offers expire — typically 60-180 days, depending on the cloud. A deal desk that takes 5 business days to approve a discount when the buyer wants to transact this week is a deal desk that loses marketplace deals. Aim for same-day approval on standard ranges. ## Sales metrics that matter Five metrics tell you whether the Cloud GTM sales motion is working: **Marketplace ARR as a percentage of total ARR.** Early-stage programs typically see 5-10% through the marketplace. Mature programs reach 20-30%+. Track quarterly; trajectory matters more than the point-in-time number. **Marketplace ACV vs. direct ACV.** Marketplace deals tied to committed spend tend to be larger. If marketplace ACV is below direct ACV, your team is using the channel for small deals, which is a positioning problem upstream of the sales motion. **Private offer acceptance time.** Typically 3-7 days between publish and accept. Times trending up signal friction either inside the offer (pricing or terms the buyer needs to renegotiate) or inside the buyer (procurement wasn't ready for the transaction). Times trending down signal a healthy motion. **Co-sell win rate.** Close rate on opportunities with cloud rep involvement, compared to your overall close rate. Co-sell win rates lift 50-70% above baseline when account mapping and joint working are healthy. Lift below 20% is a sign your co-sell motion is referrals rather than active joint selling. **Marketplace pipeline coverage by rep.** Distribution of marketplace pipeline across the team. If one rep generates 60% of marketplace pipeline, the motion isn't scaled — that's a single point of failure. Coverage should follow the same shape as direct pipeline distribution. What _not_ to track separately: marketplace forecast, marketplace bookings goal, marketplace activity quota. Same CRM pipeline, same forecast, same activity expectations. Splitting these out creates the perception that marketplace is a different channel rather than a different transaction layer. ## Common pitfalls in Cloud GTM sales Five patterns show up repeatedly in marketplace sales programs that stall: **1\. Treating marketplace as fulfillment.** Reps only use it when the buyer brings it up. You're capturing a fraction of the opportunity. Use buyer-intent signals to proactively identify marketplace-fit accounts and pitch marketplace in discovery, not after pricing. **2\. Letting ops own offer creation.** Every handoff is a stall point. When the buyer asks for an offer on Tuesday and the rep doesn't have it published until Friday because alliances was in a backlog, the deal slips a week. CRM-native offer creation removes the handoff entirely. **3\. Leaving comp ambiguous.** Reps default to the channel where their quota math is clearest. Without explicit policy on how marketplace deals count, they choose direct. **4\. Keeping co-sell intelligence siloed.** Alliances has account intelligence from cloud partners. If that intelligence doesn't flow to the AE — what stakeholder controls budget, when commitments expire, what other deals are competing for the same cloud spend — it's wasted effort. **5\. Forecasting marketplace separately.** If marketplace pipeline has its own forecast meeting, its own goal, its own pipeline review, it never feels like the rep's primary motion. Same pipeline, same stages, same visibility. Otherwise reps don't get credit, and the forecast is wrong. ## Tooling reps need A working Cloud GTM sales motion requires five things in the rep's day-to-day environment, all inside the CRM: - **Buyer-intent signals on the opportunity record.** Whether the account has active committed spend, which clouds, how much, and when it expires. Without this, reps can't prioritize. - **One-click private offer creation from Salesforce or HubSpot.** Auto-filled from CPQ data. No re-keying. No portal switching. - **One-click co-sell registration.** Triggered at a deal stage transition. Pre-filled from CRM data. Status sync back into the opportunity record. - **Real-time alerts on offer status.** Slack or email when the buyer views, accepts, or lets an offer expire. Same urgency loop the rep uses for direct deals. - **Cloud partner intel inside the CRM.** Who their cloud-side counterpart is, what engagement is active, what the cloud rep is saying about the account. A Cloud GTM platform like [Suger](/platform/) brings all five into the CRM. Reps execute marketplace deals without leaving Salesforce or HubSpot. Alliances and ops are freed from offer creation to focus on strategic work. Leaders get the same forecast accuracy on marketplace pipeline that they have on direct. For broader context on building the operational infrastructure underneath the sales motion, see the [Cloud GTM pillar guide](/resources/guides/cloud-gtm/). For the partnerships and alliances side, see the [co-sell playbook](/resources/guides/co-sell/). ## Sales team structure as Cloud GTM scales Early Cloud GTM motions run inside the existing sales org — the same AEs work direct and marketplace deals interchangeably. That stops working as marketplace revenue scales. The Bessemer benchmark for the transition is roughly $10M–$25M in marketplace ARR; below that, lightweight execution wins, above it the organizational shape of the team matters as much as the rep-level mechanics. Four shifts predict whether the motion scales past that inflection point: **CxO ownership.** Cloud GTM is not a partnerships project with sales execution bolted on — it is a CxO-level commitment. The companies that scale assign a single executive owner (often the CRO, sometimes a dedicated GM of Cloud GTM) with cross-functional authority over alliances, sales, finance, and product. Pair the owner with a weekly cross-functional standup across the same four functions; the standup keeps the motion from siloing inside any one of them. **Specialization.** A dedicated marketplace AE — or a marketplace-overlay AE on every account team — becomes worth the headcount once private offer volume exceeds roughly 50 per quarter. Common specialization dimensions: by cloud (AWS specialist vs. Azure specialist), by vertical (regulated industries have different procurement constraints), or by segment (enterprise vs. mid-market). Most teams start with cloud-based specialization because the partner relationships are distinct. **BDR/SDR investment.** Outbound to accounts with active committed spend is meaningfully different from generic outbound — the opening conversation centers on the buyer's existing cloud relationship, not a cold problem statement. Adding marketplace-aware BDRs, or training existing ones on the cloud-commitment angle, lifts connect and conversion rates well above generic outbound benchmarks. This becomes a clear lever once co-sell pipeline is consistently producing. **Dedicated marketplace deal desk.** Discount approval, fee absorption, multi-cloud SKU governance, and offer-routing speed all degrade as offer volume grows. A dedicated deal desk function — sometimes inside broader RevOps, sometimes its own seat — keeps approval cycles same-day at scale. Without it, the team trades marketplace deal velocity (the channel's primary advantage) back to the buyer through queue time. ## Frequently asked questions What is Cloud GTM sales? + Cloud GTM sales is the practice of closing software deals through cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP) rather than through direct contracts. Reps source via co-sell with cloud field teams, structure deals as private offers, and the cloud provider handles billing and collection. The motion is faster and produces larger contracts because deals draw down buyers' pre-committed cloud spend. How is marketplace selling different from direct selling? + Direct sales requires every buyer to approve new budget. Marketplace sales lets the buyer transact against existing cloud commitments (PPA, MACC, CUDs), so procurement compresses from months to weeks. Reps still own discovery and demo, but the transaction layer — paperwork, payment, vendor onboarding — moves to the cloud provider. What is comp neutrality and why does it matter? + Comp neutrality means reps earn the same commission on marketplace deals as direct deals. If the 2-3% marketplace transaction fee reduces commission payout, reps avoid the channel. Best-in-class teams run comp neutral as table stakes; some run comp positive (1.1-1.25x) for two to four quarters to accelerate adoption. Should marketplace deals count toward quota? + Yes — exactly the same as direct deals. Treat marketplace as a fulfillment path, not a separate quota bucket. Companies that put marketplace ARR in a side category see reps prioritize direct because their quota retirement is clearer. Same quota, same crediting, same SPIFF eligibility. How do reps source marketplace pipeline? + Three channels: (1) co-sell opportunities surfaced by AWS, Microsoft, or Google field reps; (2) inbound demand from buyers requesting marketplace transaction; (3) outbound to accounts with active committed spend identified through account mapping with cloud partners. The strongest reps treat the cloud field rep as a virtual SDR for the largest accounts. What is a private offer in sales terms? + A private offer is a custom-priced marketplace deal created for a specific buyer with negotiated terms, contract length, and pricing. It is the marketplace equivalent of a quote and order form combined. The buyer accepts in the marketplace console; the cloud provider handles billing. Most enterprise marketplace revenue flows through private offers, not public listings. How long does a marketplace deal take to close? + Once an offer is published, buyer acceptance typically lands in 3-7 days. End-to-end deal cycle compares favorably to direct: marketplace deals often close 27-50% faster because legal review and vendor onboarding are pre-completed in the buyer's cloud contract. The friction shifts from procurement to internal approvals on the seller side. What is co-sell and how does it help reps? + Co-sell is the structured engagement between an ISV and a cloud provider's field sales team — ACE on AWS, Partner Center on Azure, PSC on Google Cloud. The cloud rep provides account intelligence (who owns the budget, when commitments expire), warm introductions, and procurement pressure. Co-sell-influenced deals have 65% higher close rates and 51% higher revenue growth (Canalys). How should reps create private offers without a platform? + Manually through the marketplace console: select product, set pricing, attach terms, publish, and email the buyer the acceptance link. Workable for the first 5-10 deals. Beyond that, reps wait on alliances or ops to build offers, which is the most common stall point in a maturing marketplace motion. Most teams adopt a Cloud GTM platform once offer volume exceeds 15-20 per month. What metrics should sales leaders track for Cloud GTM? + Five: (1) marketplace ARR as a percent of total ARR, (2) marketplace ACV vs. direct ACV, (3) private offer acceptance time, (4) co-sell win rate, and (5) marketplace pipeline coverage by rep. Track quarterly. Trajectory over time matters more than any single point; rising marketplace ARR with falling acceptance time is the green-light combination. What are the most common mistakes in marketplace sales? + Five recurring ones: treating marketplace as fulfillment instead of a selling channel; leaving comp ambiguous so reps default to direct; siloing co-sell intelligence inside alliances; routing offers through email/Slack instead of CRM-native workflows; and forecasting marketplace separately so it never gets the same operational attention as direct pipeline. When should sales adopt a Cloud GTM platform? + When reps are creating 15-20+ private offers a month, when co-sell data is out of sync with the CRM, when offer acceptance times exceed a week because handoffs stall, or when the team is launching on a second marketplace. The trigger is operational friction slowing reps, not deal volume in absolute terms. Where should a new Cloud GTM sales motion start? + Customer renewals coming up in the next two quarters. The buyer relationship already exists, ~40% of enterprise customers have cloud commitments large enough to fund the renewal, and migrating a renewal removes a procurement step rather than adding a net-new motion. After three to five renewal wins, the team has proof points (rep references, finance buy-in, cycle-time benchmarks) to expand into net-new co-sell deals. ## Equip your sales team for Cloud GTM.

Cloud marketplaces have become a serious growth channel for software companies. They are no longer just places to list software and hope buyers find it. Today they sit much closer to revenue, procurement, cloud budget, partner motions, and enterprise deal execution. **Omdia** projects that hyperscaler marketplace sales will reach **$163 billion by 2030**. Enterprise customers now hold close to **$470 billion** in cloud commitments across AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud. For many software companies, getting into [AWS Marketplace](/solutions/aws-marketplace/), [Microsoft Marketplace](/solutions/microsoft-marketplace/), or [Google Cloud Marketplace](/solutions/gcp-marketplace/) is a way to meet buyers where they already want to buy. It can speed up procurement, align deals with existing cloud commitments, and create more flexibility through [private offers](/platform/private-offers/) and partner-led selling motions. That said, cloud marketplaces are still widely misunderstood. Many teams think success starts and ends with [getting a listing live](/platform/product-listing/). It doesn't. Listing is the starting point. The real work begins after that — choosing the right marketplace, setting up the right offer structure, enabling private offers, aligning internal teams, and building a process that sales, partnerships, finance, and operations can support. In this guide, we cover the fundamentals, break down the differences between AWS, Azure, and GCP, explain private offers and channel partner private offers, and show what SaaS companies need to get right if they want marketplace to become a [repeatable revenue channel](/solutions/transform-gtm/). ## What Is a Cloud Marketplace? A cloud marketplace is a digital storefront run by a cloud provider — AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud — that lets software companies list and sell their products through the cloud platforms their buyers already use. ![Pull-quote graphic on a dark navy background reading 'A cloud marketplace is a place where real deals happen in a way that fits how large companies want to buy,' with 'cloud marketplace' highlighted in orange. Suger logo bottom-right.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/quote-card.png) Cloud marketplaces are where enterprise software deals actually close — not just product directories. At a basic level, the model sounds simple. A vendor lists software, a buyer discovers it, evaluates whether it fits, and decides whether to purchase. In practice they do much more than that. Cloud marketplaces sit at the point where software buying, procurement, billing, and cloud relationships meet. That is what makes them commercially important for independent software vendors (ISVs). - **For buyers**, marketplaces can mean easier purchasing, faster internal approvals, and the ability to use existing cloud budgets. - **For sellers**, they can mean better access to enterprise accounts, smoother procurement conversations, and more flexible ways to structure deals. - **For partners**, they can open the door to [resale motions](/platform/resale-offers/) and private offer workflows that would be harder to manage outside the marketplace. This is also why cloud marketplaces need to be understood properly. They are often mistaken for simple software directories when, in reality, they play a much bigger role in how enterprise software gets evaluated, purchased, and transacted. Large buyers don't just care about product features. They also care about how the product is approved, how it is billed, and whether it fits a purchasing path they already trust. In practice, cloud marketplaces work best when they are treated as part of a broader [Cloud go-to-market (Cloud GTM) motion](/resources/guides/cloud-gtm/#what-is-cloud-gtm). What this means in practice Companies often focus heavily on getting listed only to realize later that the harder part is everything around the listing — packaging and pricing, offer structure, team readiness, internal ownership, and how marketplace fits the actual sales motion. ## What Are the Benefits of Selling on Cloud Marketplaces? Unlike traditional direct software procurement, cloud marketplaces let enterprises complete the transaction within an existing cloud provider relationship. That changes how software is approved, contracted, billed, and purchased. Traditional enterprise procurement is slow by design. A team identifies the right solution, but the deal gets delayed by vendor onboarding, security reviews, legal redlines, separate billing setup, and budget approval workflows. Every new vendor introduces another contract, another approval path, another review. Cloud marketplaces work differently. They move the transaction into a commercial framework the buyer already uses with AWS, Microsoft, or Google Cloud. The result is not just a new buying channel — it's a shorter, more structured route to purchase. ### 1\. Cloud commit drawdown A traditional software purchase usually needs its own budget approval. A marketplace transaction can look very different. Large enterprises often have major multi-year commitments with AWS, Microsoft, or Google Cloud. Marketplace allows part of that cloud spend to be used on third-party software, which means the purchase is often closer to a budget that is already approved. For buyers, this reduces the financial approval burden. For sellers, it can turn a stalled procurement conversation into a workable commercial path. ### 2\. Standard legal contracts Legal review is one of the most common reasons enterprise deals slow down. In a direct procurement model, every new vendor can trigger a fresh contract review — separate terms negotiated for each software purchase. Cloud marketplaces reduce part of that burden by offering [standardized agreement structures](/platform/agreements/) and pre-established legal frameworks. That doesn't remove legal review entirely, but it gives buyers and sellers a stronger starting point than a brand-new papering process for every deal. ### 3\. Unified vendor management Direct procurement creates operational overhead. Finance and accounts payable teams have to manage separate invoices, tax records, payment workflows, and compliance records for every software vendor. As software stacks grow, that becomes harder to manage. Marketplace consolidates more of that activity inside the buyer's cloud purchasing environment — Microsoft, for example, says customers purchasing through Microsoft Marketplace receive a single, consolidated monthly bill that includes both Azure charges and Marketplace purchases. That kind of consolidation gives procurement and finance teams better visibility into software spend and reduces the administrative load that comes with managing every vendor separately. ### Who uses cloud marketplaces? Cloud marketplaces are built for multiple types of users, including SaaS vendors, buyers, channel partners, resellers, and the cloud providers themselves. One company may look at marketplace as a new sales channel. Another may look at it as a procurement tool. A partner may see it as a resale motion. A finance team may see it as a cleaner buying path. All of those views can be true at the same time. That's part of why marketplace programs get complex so quickly: different teams use the same platform for different reasons. #### Software buyers Software buyers are one of the main groups driving cloud marketplace growth. These are companies that already have strong relationships with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. They may already be running workloads there, already have procurement processes tied to those clouds, and already have committed spending in place. For them, buying software through a cloud marketplace can feel easier than going through a completely separate vendor workflow. Instead of starting from scratch, they can often: - Buy through a known cloud environment - Work within existing billing structures - Simplify internal approvals - Align purchases with cloud budget planning - Move faster on software that already fits their stack #### SaaS vendors / ISVs For software vendors, cloud marketplaces can serve several goals at once. First, they create another revenue stream. Second, they make enterprise selling easier. Third, they strengthen relationships with cloud providers and partners. Vendors don't all use marketplace the same way — some use it mainly as a procurement path for direct deals, others to support [co-sell motions](/platform/cosell/), others to expand partner-led sales, and others as a strategic channel that needs its own operations, [reporting](/platform/reporting/), and growth plan. #### Channel partners and resellers Channel partners and resellers use cloud marketplaces differently. For them, marketplace can create a structured way to participate in software deals without stepping outside the cloud provider's commercial framework. This is especially important in partner-led enterprise selling, where the partner may already have the customer relationship, procurement influence, or contract path. Channel partner private offers give resellers a more formal way to participate in cloud marketplace transactions. #### Cloud providers AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud run marketplaces to drive more software and services through their ecosystems. The more valuable their marketplace, the stronger their cloud platform becomes. That's why cloud providers invest heavily in marketplace programs, partner motions, and co-sell activity. ## AWS vs Microsoft vs Google Cloud Marketplace: A Side-by-Side Comparison When people talk about cloud marketplaces, they usually mean the three largest: **AWS Marketplace**, **Microsoft Marketplace**, and **Google Cloud Marketplace**. At a high level, all three help software companies sell through cloud buying paths customers already use. The differences show up in product terminology, marketplace structure, partner motions, and how each platform fits different buyer environments. ### AWS Marketplace: overview, fees, and best use cases [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace) is often the first platform SaaS teams consider because of its depth, breadth of products, and strong enterprise relevance. AWS positions it as a sales channel for ISVs and consulting partners, and supports a wide range of delivery methods: SaaS, Amazon Machine Image (AMI) products, container images, Helm charts, EKS add-ons, data products, and professional services. That makes AWS a strong starting point for companies that need support for multiple delivery models in one marketplace. ![Screenshot of the AWS Marketplace homepage showing the 'Find your perfect match from over 30k cloud solutions' search bar, suggested tasks (Compare products, Create proposal), and a grid of most-subscribed products including Brave Search API, Document Intelligence, Asana MCP Server, and Poke AI Agent.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/aws-marketplace-storefront.png) The AWS Marketplace storefront lists 30,000+ cloud solutions across AI agents, SaaS, APIs, containers, ML, and more.

For the full AWS Marketplace deep-dive, see [the dedicated AWS Marketplace guide](/resources/guides/aws-marketplace/). ### Microsoft Marketplace (formerly Azure Marketplace): overview, fees, and best use cases [Microsoft Marketplace](https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/) is a single destination for customers to find, try, and buy cloud solutions and [AI agents](/platform/ai-intelligence/), with offers also surfacing through Microsoft sales teams, reseller channels, and in-product experiences. The wider commercial footprint is one of its biggest strengths. Microsoft consolidated Azure Marketplace and AppSource into a single Microsoft Marketplace in September 2025, creating a unified buying experience across infrastructure, SaaS, and business applications. Azure Marketplace targets IT professionals and developers looking for cloud infrastructure tools, database management solutions, and cybersecurity platforms. Microsoft has also modernized its channel operations with the **Multiparty Private Offer (MPO)** capability. This allows ISVs to authorize specialized Microsoft partners to package custom services alongside the software license, presenting a unified solution to the enterprise buyer on a single Microsoft invoice. ![Screenshot of the Microsoft Marketplace homepage with the tagline 'Your trusted source for cloud solutions, AI apps, and agents', a product search bar, and the Featured solutions row showing UiPath Agentic Automation, Canva, Elasticsearch and Vector Database, Veeam Data Cloud SaaS Backup, and Presentations AI.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/microsoft-marketplace-storefront.png) Microsoft Marketplace consolidated Azure Marketplace and AppSource into a single buying experience in September 2025.

It places a strong emphasis on procurement simplification, cloud commitment drawdown, deployment speed, governance, and billing visibility within the Google Cloud Console. It's often the best fit when the buyer and product are already closely aligned with GCP. ![Screenshot of the Google Cloud Marketplace homepage with the heading 'Explore, launch and manage solutions in just a few clicks', a left-side AI agent category filter, and AI agent products including Box AI Agent for Gemini, Optimizely Opal Chat, and Avalara AI Agent for Agentic Tax and Compliance.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/gcp-marketplace-storefront.png) Google Cloud Marketplace emphasizes governed deployment, commitment drawdown, and AI agent discovery inside the GCP Console.

Once you understand what a cloud marketplace is, the next step is understanding how deals actually move through one. ### The 7 stages of a cloud marketplace deal Most cloud marketplace deals move through the same broad stages. ![Cloud marketplace deal flow diagram showing seven sequential stages on a dark background: Discovery, Evaluation, Procurement, Contracting, Billing, Deployment, and Renewal — each represented by a labeled circle with a relevant icon, connected by orange arcs.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/7-stage-deal-flow.png) The seven stages a cloud marketplace deal moves through, from buyer discovery to renewal. **Discovery** is where the buyer first encounters the product. Sometimes that happens inside the marketplace itself through search or category browsing; sometimes it happens outside the marketplace through sales, partner referrals, analyst research, or cloud co-sell activity. The strongest marketplace deals don't begin with organic marketplace browsing at all — they begin with demand that marketplace later helps convert into a cleaner purchase path. **Evaluation** is where the buyer decides whether the product fits. The marketplace listing may help with product understanding, pricing visibility, technical packaging, and purchase readiness, but it's often only one input. Buyers still look at documentation, demos, implementation effort, security, and internal fit. A strong listing supports evaluation, but it rarely replaces the broader buying process for larger accounts. **Procurement** is where marketplace often starts doing its real work. AWS notes that buying a product in AWS Marketplace means accepting the pricing terms and the seller's EULA shown on the product detail page — treating the marketplace as a formal purchase channel rather than a lead source. Microsoft explicitly frames marketplace purchasing as a way to avoid managing separate vendor invoices, offering a consolidated bill alongside Azure charges. Marketplace becomes most valuable when a customer wants to buy, not just browse. **Contracting** is where things stop being generic. Public listing terms may be enough for smaller or more standardized purchases, but enterprise deals often need custom pricing, custom terms, proof-of-concept structures, or partner involvement. AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud all support private offers, but the surrounding terminology and capabilities differ — Microsoft's private offers, for example, can include custom terms and customized pricing for up to five years and bundle up to 10 products from the same vendor. **Billing** follows the cloud provider's model. That matters more than it sounds. For many customers, the appeal of marketplace is how the purchase shows up inside their financial systems. Microsoft's marketplace purchases can appear on a single, consolidated monthly bill alongside Azure charges. AWS and Google frame private offers around custom pricing and accepted terms tied to specific buyer accounts. **Deployment** comes after the deal is accepted, but this step varies heavily by product type. A SaaS product may be activated with account provisioning and entitlement. A VM or AMI product may need to be launched into a customer's environment. A Kubernetes or container product may involve deployment into an existing cluster. **Renewal** is the stage many teams think about too late. Once a product is live and paid for through marketplace, the next questions become commercial and operational: renew on the same terms, expand the contract, move to a new private offer, or purchase additional products. Google's private offer documentation notes that when a contract ends, customers can continue at list price for some models or work with the vendor to renew. Renewal is an active marketplace motion, not a passive afterthought. ### How billing and cloud commit drawdown work Billing is one of the biggest reasons marketplace matters in the first place. In a direct software purchase, the buyer usually has to create a separate vendor path, manage a new invoicing flow, and get internal approval for it. Marketplace reduces that friction by letting the purchase happen through cloud channels the buyer already uses. This becomes even more important when cloud commitments come into play. Many large customers already have major spend committed to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. In those cases, marketplace becomes the preferred buying route because it fits naturally into existing cloud budgets and internal approval structures. Tip When a customer says, _"We want to buy, but we need to route this through our cloud provider,"_ they are usually not talking about discovery. They are talking about billing, approvals, and internal buying policy. ### Cloud marketplace product types: SaaS, VM, container, and more Not every marketplace product behaves the same way after purchase. For **SaaS products**, the deployment step is usually the lightest. The buyer purchases through the marketplace, but the product itself is accessed in the vendor's own environment. AWS's buyer documentation is clear: for SaaS products, customers subscribe through AWS Marketplace but use the software in the seller's environment. For **VM- or AMI-based products**, the software is deployed to the buyer's cloud environment. That makes the post-purchase flow more infrastructure-heavy. The buyer isn't just accepting terms — they're standing up software inside their own environment. For **container or Kubernetes products**, deployment is more cloud-native. AWS says container products can be delivered through container images, Helm charts, or Amazon EKS add-ons, while Google describes Kubernetes apps as bundles of container images, configuration files, and display metadata that run on Kubernetes clusters. For **managed application-style offers**, there's usually more structure around installation, dependencies, and cloud configuration. For **API or data products**, deployment may be less about standing up infrastructure and more about granting access, connecting usage, or enabling data delivery. Tip If you are writing or planning a marketplace strategy, do not lump SaaS, VM, and Kubernetes products into one operational bucket. The buyer journey may sound similar at the top level, but the post-purchase experience can be completely different. ## The 8 Stages Of Cloud Marketplace Buyer's Journey From the buyer's side, marketplace usually becomes important when interest turns into action. A buyer may first hear about a product through a salesperson, a partner, a cloud rep, a referral, or prior research. But once the conversation shifts from "this looks useful" to "how do we actually buy it?" — marketplace often becomes the practical route forward. The buyer journey moves through eight stages: awareness, evaluation, internal alignment, channel decision, commercial review, purchase, activation, and renewal. ![Buyer journey flow diagram titled 'Buyer journey flow' on a dark background.

A company doesn't just publish a listing and wait for revenue to appear. It has to prepare the product, choose the right marketplace, structure pricing, support procurement conversations, enable private offers, and make sure internal teams know how to use marketplace during real deals. ![Seller journey flow diagram titled 'Seller journey flow' on a dark background.

Stage What the seller is doing What matters most at this point Marketplace strategy Decides why marketplace matters and which platform to prioritize Buyer demand, cloud alignment, sales motion, and operational readiness Product packaging Prepares the product for marketplace based on its format and deployment model Technical fit, clear packaging, and marketplace compatibility Listing setup Builds and publishes the marketplace listing Clear positioning, accurate information, and strong buyer confidence Pricing and offer structure Sets public pricing and prepares for private offers or partner-led motions Flexibility, margin protection, and commercial clarity Internal enablement Aligns sales, partnerships, finance, legal, and ops around marketplace workflows Ownership, readiness, and cross-functional coordination Live deal support Uses marketplace in actual sales cycles, often when procurement gets involved Speed, responsiveness, and the ability to support complex deal needs Purchase and onboarding Supports the transaction and ensures the customer gets activated smoothly Clean handoff, fast provisioning, and low-friction onboarding Post-sale management Tracks renewals, expansions, reporting, and marketplace performance Retention, upsell potential, and operational consistency ## What Are The Benefits of Selling on Cloud Marketplaces for ISVs Once an ISV understands how cloud marketplaces work, the bigger question becomes: _why invest in them at all?_ For software companies, cloud marketplaces can strengthen how deals are structured, how partnerships are activated, how enterprise accounts are entered, and how [revenue operations scale](/solutions/automate-scale/) over time. ### Faster procurement for enterprise buyers For software sellers, faster procurement shortens the distance between buyer interest and closed revenue. At a certain stage, enterprise deals are no longer held back by product fit — they're held back by buying mechanics. Marketplace helps remove some of that drag. Sales teams spend less time trying to force a deal through an unfamiliar route and more time moving it toward signature. The real value here isn't speed for its own sake. It's deal momentum. When the buying path feels more familiar to the customer, sales cycles are less likely to stall in the final stretch. ### Access to committed cloud budgets Marketplace can bring your product closer to an existing pool of spend. Instead of asking the buyer to justify a brand-new line item from scratch, marketplace can make the purchase feel more aligned with a cloud budget the customer is already managing. ### Better alignment with Cloud GTM and co-sell motions Marketplace becomes far more valuable when it's connected to cloud go-to-market efforts. For ISVs building relationships with AWS, Microsoft, or Google Cloud teams, marketplace helps turn those relationships into something actionable. It creates a path where product, partnerships, and sales can work together rather than operate in separate lanes. ### Shorter path into enterprise accounts Marketplace can also make enterprise entry less difficult. Large accounts often have strong preferences around how software gets purchased. If your product is available through a cloud marketplace the customer already uses, that lowers the perceived friction of bringing in a new vendor. This doesn't replace trust-building, proof, or strong selling — but it can make a new vendor relationship feel less disruptive, which is often enough to keep a deal moving. ### More flexibility through private offers Private offers give ISVs the flexibility to support enterprise deals inside the marketplace channel. This is especially important when pricing, terms, or contract length need to be adjusted for a specific account. ### Operational benefits for finance, legal, and procurement teams Marketplace can also create a more manageable internal motion for the seller. An ISV with a strong marketplace program typically builds clearer coordination among sales, [finance](/solutions/finance/), legal, partnerships, and [RevOps](/solutions/revops/). That leads to better deal support, cleaner approvals, and less confusion as deal volume increases. ### Why buyers often prefer cloud marketplaces From the SaaS company's perspective, buyer preferences matter because they shape conversion. If buyers feel more comfortable purchasing through marketplace, then marketplace becomes the format that helps deals close with less resistance. The preference comes down to familiarity, flexibility, and easier internal routing. Key takeaway For SaaS companies, cloud marketplaces matter because they can: - Support faster late-stage deal movement - Connect products to existing cloud spend - Strengthen cloud and partner motions - Make enterprise entry smoother - Give sellers more commercial flexibility - Create better internal operating discipline ## Cloud Marketplace Listing Types and Offer Structures [Cloud marketplace listings](/platform/product-listing/) are not all built the same way. The offer type affects packaging, deployment, pricing structure, and the kind of buyer the listing is suited for. Companies get better results when they choose the listing model based on how the product is sold and delivered, not just on what is easiest to launch first. At a practical level, most marketplace listings fall into three core categories — **SaaS**, **VM**, and **container-based** offers. On top of that, sellers also decide whether the commercial side uses standard public pricing or relies on custom terms built around a specific deal. ### SaaS vs VM vs container: what's the difference? Cloud marketplace listings generally fall into a few broad product formats, but the naming is not identical across platforms. **SaaS listings** are the closest fit for most software companies selling a hosted product. The buyer purchases through the marketplace, but the application is delivered through the vendor's own environment. **VM-based listings** _(called AMI products in AWS; commonly referred to as VM images in Google Cloud)_ are for software that runs inside the customer's cloud environment rather than the vendor's hosted application. In AWS Marketplace this is the AMI-based offer. In Azure Marketplace the equivalent is generally referred to as a Virtual Machine offer. In Google Cloud Marketplace, similar infrastructure-led offers are commonly described as VM images. The naming differs by platform, but the commercial idea is similar: the buyer deploys the software inside their own cloud environment. **Container / Kubernetes listings** _(called container products in AWS and Kubernetes apps in Google Cloud)_ are used for software delivered in containers and deployed in Kubernetes-based environments. AWS refers to these as container products; Google Cloud Marketplace uses the term Kubernetes apps for containerized applications packaged for deployment on a Kubernetes cluster. ### Common billing and metering models Here are the common [billing and metering](/platform/billing-metering/) models: Model What it means Best fit for Flat-rate / contract Buyer pays a fixed amount for a set term Predictable enterprise contracts Seat-based Buyer pays by user or license count User-based SaaS products Usage-based Buyer pays based on measured consumption API, infrastructure, or consumption-heavy products Contract + overage Buyer commits to a base contract, then pays for extra usage Enterprise SaaS with variable usage patterns BYOL Buyer brings an existing license; marketplace may handle only infrastructure billing Existing licensed products ### Public and private offers Most cloud marketplace transactions begin in one of two ways: through a public offer or a private offer. A **public offer** is the standard marketplace version of a product. It uses publicly available pricing and standard terms that eligible buyers can review and accept. AWS uses the term _public offer agreements_. Microsoft refers to a public offer as a solution available for purchase with publicly listed pricing and terms. Google Cloud refers to products being publicly listed and sold, with private offers built from the product's public list price. A **private offer** is a negotiated marketplace deal created for a specific buyer. It allows the seller to offer custom pricing and, depending on the platform, custom terms, custom duration, or a tailored commercial structure. AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud all support private offers, but the surrounding terminology is not identical. The simplest way to think about it: - **Public offer** = standard public pricing and terms - **Private offer** = buyer-specific negotiated pricing or commercial terms Most SaaS companies need both. The public offer creates a standard buying path. The private offer makes the marketplace usable for real enterprise deals. ## How to Sell on Cloud Marketplaces Selling on a cloud marketplace is a cross-functional launch. Product, partnerships, sales, finance, legal, and operations all need to be aligned before the channel can support real deals. Executing a [cloud GTM strategy](/solutions/) requires coordination across product engineering, finance, legal, and sales alliances. A public listing simply makes the product purchasable — the internal operational machinery determines whether the company can successfully close high-value contracts. The better approach is to treat marketplace as a structured go-to-market program. The nine steps below are the ones that matter most. ![Step-by-step roadmap titled 'Step-by-Step Roadmap to Selling on Cloud Marketplaces' rendered as a winding orange road across a dark background. Nine numbered stops (01–09) each show a label and short description: Assess fit; Pick the first cloud; Choose the right offer type; Prepare technical integration; Set internal workflows; Design pricing and billing; Enable private offers; Publish the listing; Measure and improve. The road ends with a rocket icon.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/9-step-roadmap.png) The 9-step roadmap for launching and scaling a marketplace go-to-market motion. ### Step 1: Decide whether marketplace is the right channel for your product Not every software application belongs in a hyperscaler ecosystem. Vendors need to first evaluate their Annual Contract Value (ACV) and target buyer's procurement habits. Products with very low ACVs, or those sold exclusively to small businesses, rarely return enough on the technical integration costs. B2B enterprise software with complex sales cycles, high ACVs, and significant security review requirements is a better fit. If your sales organization frequently encounters stalled deals due to rigid procurement, or if prospects regularly ask about utilizing their committed spend agreements, marketplace can become commercially useful very quickly. On the other hand, if your product is still finding product-market fit, your sales motion is not repeatable, or your buyers don't care how the transaction is routed, marketplace may not be the first place to invest. We usually look at four questions: - Are buyers asking for marketplace access? - Does cloud alignment help close deals? - Can the product be packaged in a marketplace-friendly way? - Does the company have enough internal support to run the motion properly? If the answer is mostly yes, marketplace is worth building seriously. If not, launching early may create more overhead than value. ### Step 2: Choose the right marketplace first Launching simultaneously across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud strains engineering and revenue operations teams. Each platform has distinct API architectures, staging environments, and co-sell requirements. The cloud-agnostic way to think about this is simple: _start where buyer demand is strongest, where partnerships are most active, and where your product fits the platform best._ That doesn't always mean starting with the biggest marketplace. - Start with **AWS Marketplace** if your buyer base is already deep in AWS or you expect to use AWS's partner-mediated private offer model (CPPO). - Start with **Microsoft Marketplace** if your customers are strongly Microsoft-led and you expect to use Microsoft's Multiparty Private Offer (MPO) model. - If your product is a data analytics tool or open-source Kubernetes application, **Google Cloud Marketplace** typically offers the best strategic alignment. The goal is to select the platform on which your engineering team focuses its integration efforts and on which your partnership team builds its first [cloud alliance relationships](/solutions/alliances-partnerships/). ### Step 3: Align product, pricing, packaging, and billing model This is where the marketplace offer needs to match how the product is actually sold. By this point, the team should already know whether the product is being brought to market as a SaaS, VM-based, or container/Kubernetes offer. The next step is to make sure the pricing model, billing logic, contract structure, and renewal path all support that format cleanly. The goal is to adapt the existing model so buyers can transact, renew, and expand without confusion. ### Step 4: Prepare technical integration and listing requirements A listing is only credible if the product experience behind it works. For SaaS offers, this usually means provisioning, entitlement, onboarding, and any required fulfillment flows. For VM-based or Kubernetes-based products, it can mean image readiness, deployment packaging, cloud validation, and installation clarity. The technical work varies by platform, but the operating principle is the same: a buyer should understand what they are buying and what happens after purchase. This is also where the listing itself needs discipline. Clear product language, accurate requirements, compelling screenshots, and a clean onboarding path reduce confusion during buyer evaluation and make it easier for internal teams to support the deal post-purchase. ### Step 5: Set up legal, finance, tax, and operational workflows A cloud marketplace deal is still a real commercial transaction. It needs contract control, billing clarity, tax handling, internal approvals, and a clear post-sale process. If those workflows aren't defined before launch, the first serious deal usually exposes the gaps. **Legal** needs to know which agreement framework will be used, when standard terms are enough, and when a negotiated private offer should take over. **Finance** needs clarity on billing structure, reporting, revenue recognition, and how marketplace transactions will be tracked alongside direct sales. **Tax and operations** teams need to understand where the transaction sits, what gets invoiced through the cloud provider, and what internal handoffs happen after purchase. Pro tip Mandate that your revenue operations team connects the cloud marketplace portal directly to your primary CRM. This ensures finance and sales teams maintain total visibility into contract renewals, metered usage spikes, and upcoming invoice dates without relying on manual data entry. ### Step 6: Publish the listing Publishing is the visible milestone, but not the main one. By the time the listing goes live, most of the important decisions should already be made. Product format should be clear, pricing should make sense, and internal workflows should be defined. The listing should be: - Clear enough for a buyer to understand quickly - Specific enough to support evaluation - Accurate enough that sales, partnerships, and customer success can stand behind it - Complete enough that procurement or technical reviewers aren't left guessing Teams must treat the listing like a commercial asset. It should reflect how the company wants the product to be understood in-market. ### Step 7: Match pricing and contracting to your go-to-market motion Marketplace packaging only works when the pricing and contracting model matches how the company actually sells. A public offer may be enough for a product-led motion where buyers can self-serve. A private offer is the better fit for a sales-led motion where pricing, terms, or contract length need to be negotiated. A partner-led motion may require a reseller or channel structure such as **CPPO** in AWS or **MPO** in Microsoft. These motions are not mutually exclusive. One company can support all three at the same time. A SaaS company might use: - A **public offer** to support PLG or standard purchasing - A **private offer** for direct enterprise deals - A **partner-mediated private offer** for reseller- or channel-led transactions ### Step 8: Train sales, partnerships, and customer success teams A published listing holds no value if the field sales team doesn't know how to position it. Sales needs to know when marketplace helps move a deal and when it doesn't. Partnerships need to know how it fits Cloud GTM, co-sell, and partner-led structures. Customer success needs to know what changes after a customer buys through marketplace instead of through a direct contract. At a minimum, teams should know: - When to introduce marketplace in a deal - Which marketplace to use and why - When to use public pricing versus a private offer - What the customer experience looks like after purchase - Who owns approvals and escalation when something changes This is one of the clearest dividing lines between companies that "have a listing" and companies that sell through marketplace. The second group makes marketplace part of the field motion. The first waits for someone else to bring it up. ### Step 9: Track performance after launch Once the listing is live, measure whether marketplace is working as a channel. That means looking beyond page views or publication status. The metrics that matter are tied to commercial use: - Sourced or influenced pipeline - Number of marketplace transactions - Private offer volume - Time to close when marketplace is involved - Renewal and expansion activity - Partner-led or cloud-led deal contribution Keep the post-launch view simple at first. Track whether marketplace is being used in real deals, whether it's helping transactions move, and whether the internal workflow is holding up under pressure. Once volume grows, reporting can become more detailed. ## Cloud Marketplace Private Offers: CPPO, MPO, and Partner-Led Deals Public listings are useful, but most serious enterprise marketplace deals don't close on public pricing alone. In practice, SaaS teams need a way to tailor commercial terms without taking the deal outside the marketplace. That's where private offers come in. ### What is a private offer? A private offer is a marketplace deal created for a specific buyer on custom commercial terms. Instead of forcing the customer to purchase on the public listing terms, the seller can extend custom pricing and, depending on the platform, custom terms or contract structures. **AWS** defines private offers as negotiated pricing and EULA terms for a specific buyer. **Microsoft** says private offers support custom terms, customized pricing for up to five years, proof-of-concept structures, and bundles of up to 10 products from the same vendor. **Google Cloud** says vendors can create private offers for specific customers for SaaS, VM, and Kubernetes products. For SaaS companies, this is what makes marketplace commercially usable. A public listing creates a standard purchase path. A private offer gives the sales team room to structure the deal. ### When to use private offers Revenue operations teams need to establish internal rules for when sales reps deploy these custom agreements. Using them indiscriminately creates administrative overload; ignoring them jeopardizes large deals. Use private offers when: - The account is enterprise and expects negotiated commercial terms - The deal needs custom pricing or discounting - The term structure doesn't match the public listing - The buyer wants a marketplace transaction but not a standard package - The sales team needs to preserve the marketplace buying path without giving up deal flexibility Pro tip Always configure private offers with a strict, short-term expiration date that aligns with the buyer's procurement deadline. This creates a natural sense of deal urgency and prevents outstanding offers from disrupting quarterly revenue forecasting. ### What are channel partner private offers? This is where terminology needs to stay precise. **CPPO** is an **AWS-specific** term — it stands for **Channel Partner Private Offer**. CPPO allows a channel partner to resell an ISV's product in AWS Marketplace after the ISV grants the partner a selling authorization; the partner then extends the private offer to the buyer. Microsoft's comparable motion is called a **Multiparty Private Offer (MPO)**. Microsoft says multiparty private offers let software partners and channel partners sell collaboratively through Microsoft Marketplace, with the customer purchasing through the partner-enabled marketplace motion. Google Cloud Marketplace's equivalent is called a [Marketplace Channel Private Offer (MCPO)](https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/partners/announcing-google-cloud-marketplace-private-offers). Under the MCPO program, the ISV creates a reseller private offer plan that authorizes a channel partner to create private offers for end customers. The names differ, but the commercial idea is similar across the big three: a partner is involved in taking the product to the customer, and the transaction is still executed through the marketplace rather than moved outside it. Key takeaway Private offers make cloud marketplaces usable for enterprise SaaS sales. CPPO is AWS-specific; Microsoft uses MPO; Google Cloud uses MCPO. The broader principle is consistent: public listings create access, but negotiated offer structures are what make larger marketplace deals close. ## 8 Common Cloud Marketplace Mistakes to Avoid Companies struggle because they treat marketplace as a publishing task, they launch before internal teams are ready, or they expect the listing itself to create momentum. It rarely works that way. ![Infographic titled '8 cloud marketplace mistakes to avoid' on a dark background. Two columns of four mistakes each, with a red X icon next to each: left column lists Treating Marketplace Like a Passive Listing Channel, Launching Without Sales Enablement, Picking the Wrong Marketplace First, and Ignoring Private Offers Until Late-Stage Deals; right column lists Underestimating Operational Complexity, Failing to Align Finance, Legal, and RevOps, Going Multi-Marketplace Too Early, and Not Measuring Marketplace-Influenced Revenue Correctly.](/guides/cloud-marketplaces/8-common-mistakes.png) The eight most common cloud marketplace mistakes — covered one by one below. ### 1\. Treating marketplace like a passive listing channel A live listing does not create a live marketplace motion. If sales, partnerships, and operations aren't using the channel in real deals, marketplace stays inactive even when the product is published. ### 2\. Launching without sales enablement If sales doesn't know when to use marketplace, it doesn't become a real channel. The listing goes live, but the field team isn't trained on when to introduce marketplace, when to use private offers, or how marketplace helps a deal move. The product is technically available, but commercially underused. ### 3\. Picking the wrong marketplace first Teams often default to the largest or most familiar marketplace rather than the one that best matches buyer demand, cloud relationships, and product fit. This creates unnecessary work and slows early traction. The better first choice is the marketplace most likely to support transactions soon, not the one that looks best on paper. ### 4\. Ignoring private offers until late-stage deals Many teams launch with public pricing only and wait until a real enterprise deal forces them to build private-offer workflows. That usually creates delays at the worst possible moment. ### 5\. Underestimating operational complexity Marketplace is not owned by one team. Product, sales, partnerships, finance, legal, customer success, and operations all have a role once deals begin moving through marketplace. If that internal coordination is missing, the process breaks down quickly. ### 6\. Failing to align finance, legal, and RevOps Marketplace becomes harder to scale when these teams are brought in too late. Finance needs clarity on billing and reporting. Legal needs clarity on terms, approvals, and exceptions. RevOps needs clarity on attribution, process, and ownership. If those teams aren't aligned early, every private offer, approval, or reporting question becomes harder than it should be. ### 7\. Going multi-marketplace too early Expanding to multiple marketplaces before the first one is working usually spreads internal resources too thin. Each platform has different onboarding, offer structures, and operational requirements. Scale usually comes after the first marketplace motion is working, not before. ### 8\. Not measuring marketplace-influenced revenue correctly Some organizations only count deals that are fully sourced through marketplace. That misses how the channel often works in reality — marketplace is frequently used later in the sales cycle to help close, contract, or route a deal through the buyer's preferred path. If you only measure direct marketplace sourcing, you'll undercount the real commercial impact. ## How To Be Successful On Cloud Marketplace: Metrics and KPIs to Track [Launching a listing](/solutions/getting-started/) is a starting line, not a finish line. To transform a procurement channel into a predictable revenue engine, teams need rigorous data tracking. Marketplace needs to be measured as a commercial channel — the best reporting model looks at visibility, deal movement, offer usage, revenue contribution, renewal performance, partner impact, and internal speed. ### Listing visibility metrics Check whether buyers are actually finding and engaging with the listing. Views, traffic sources, click-through behavior, and page engagement all help show whether the listing is visible and relevant. These metrics are useful early on, especially right after launch, but they aren't proof of marketplace success on their own. Visibility tells you whether buyers are looking. It doesn't tell you whether marketplace is helping deals move. ### Private offer metrics Private offers are often the clearest sign that marketplace is being used in serious enterprise deals. Track how many private offers are being created, how many are accepted, how long they take to prepare, and how long they take to close. This shows whether the team is ready to support negotiated deals inside the marketplace channel or whether the workflow is slowing things down. ### Pipeline and conversion metrics Marketplace should show up in pipeline reporting. The key questions: is marketplace attached to active opportunities, do those deals convert at a stronger rate, and does the sales cycle change when marketplace is part of the motion? A marketplace program is much easier to justify when it can be tied to real opportunity movement rather than listing activity alone. ### Marketplace-influenced revenue metrics This is one of the most important areas to get right. SaaS teams undercount marketplace because they only measure revenue directly sourced through the marketplace. In practice, marketplace is often introduced later in the sales cycle to help complete a transaction. The better view is to track both revenue _transacted through marketplace_ and _revenue influenced by marketplace_. ### Renewal and expansion metrics Marketplace performance shouldn't be judged only on first purchase. Know whether marketplace customers renew well, expand over time, and continue buying through the same channel. If marketplace is bringing in the right customers, that should show up in renewal rates, expansion revenue, and account growth after the initial transaction. ### Partner and co-sell metrics If marketplace is tied to cloud partnerships or reseller activity, the reporting should show it. Look at how many deals involve cloud or channel support, how those deals perform, and how much revenue comes from partner-influenced marketplace transactions. This helps show whether marketplace is strengthening the wider go-to-market motion rather than operating as a separate track. ### Operational efficiency metrics Marketplace also needs internal performance tracking — time to publish, time to create a private offer, approval turnaround, onboarding speed, and issue resolution all matter. These numbers show whether the channel is becoming easier to run as more deals come through. ## Final takeaway Cloud marketplaces have become a significant growth channel for SaaS companies, but they only work well when treated as more than just a listing. The opportunity lies in using marketplace to support enterprise buying, align with Cloud GTM, enable flexible deal structures, and build a cleaner commercial path for customers who already buy through AWS, Microsoft, or Google Cloud. The teams that get value from marketplace start with buyer demand, choose the right platform, align product and pricing with the right offer model, prepare private-offer workflows early, and make sure sales, partnerships, finance, and operations are all working from the same plan. That's where marketplace execution gets harder, and where Suger fits in. Suger gives SaaS companies the infrastructure to launch listings, manage complex private offers, and automate usage metering across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Instead of pulling engineering into custom [marketplace integrations](/platform/integrations/), revenue teams can stay focused on closing deals, supporting partners, and scaling marketplace sales. When you're ready to build a real multi-marketplace revenue engine, Suger gives you the foundation to do it properly. [Request a demo today.](/schedule-demo/) ## FAQs About Cloud Marketplaces What is a cloud marketplace? + A cloud marketplace is a software buying and selling platform run by a cloud provider such as AWS, Microsoft, or Google Cloud. It lets software vendors list and sell products through the cloud ecosystems that buyers already use, with the transaction billed through the buyer's existing cloud account. What are the benefits of selling on a cloud marketplace? + For SaaS companies, the main benefits are commercial. Cloud marketplaces can make enterprise buying easier, support cloud and partner motions, enable private offers, and give buyers a purchasing route that fits existing cloud relationships — often shortening procurement cycles from months to weeks. How do private offers work? + A private offer is a custom marketplace deal created for a specific buyer. It allows the seller to offer custom pricing, terms, or contract structure while keeping the transaction inside the marketplace channel. AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud all support private offers with slightly different terminology. What is a channel partner private offer? + A channel partner private offer is a partner-led version of a private offer. In AWS, it is called a Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO). In Microsoft, the equivalent is a Multiparty Private Offer (MPO). Google Cloud's version is called a Marketplace Channel Private Offer (MCPO). The naming differs, but the concept is similar: a partner is involved in the transaction while the deal still moves through the marketplace. Can SaaS companies sell on AWS, Azure, and GCP at the same time? + Yes. It comes down to whether the company is operationally ready to support multiple marketplaces. Each platform has its own onboarding, offer structures, and operating cadence. Many companies expand to a second or third marketplace only after the first one is working as a repeatable channel. Which cloud marketplace is best for SaaS? + There is no single best option for every SaaS company. The right choice depends on where buyers already spend, which cloud relationships matter most in deals, and how the product is delivered. AWS Marketplace is often the broadest starting point, but Microsoft Marketplace or Google Cloud Marketplace may be the better fit depending on the customer base. Is AWS Marketplace only for AWS-native products? + No. AWS Marketplace is not limited to products built only for AWS-native environments. It supports SaaS, AMI, container, ML, AI agent, data, and professional-services products. What matters more is whether the product can be sold and fulfilled through AWS Marketplace in a way that fits the platform's requirements. What is the difference between a public listing and a private offer? + A public listing uses standard pricing and terms that any eligible buyer can review and accept. A private offer is created for a specific account and includes custom commercial terms. Public listings create a standard buying path; private offers support negotiated enterprise deals. How long does it take to launch on a cloud marketplace? + It depends on the product type, platform, and internal readiness. A simple SaaS listing can move faster than a more technical offer that requires deeper packaging and validation. In practice, delays are often caused more by internal approvals and preparation — legal, finance, tax, and operational readiness — than by the marketplace review itself. Do cloud marketplaces help with enterprise procurement? + Yes — that is one of their main advantages. Cloud marketplaces can make software purchases easier to route through existing cloud relationships, helping with procurement, billing, and internal approval. Many enterprise buyers also have committed cloud spend that marketplace purchases can draw down against, removing the budget-approval step from the procurement cycle. ## Launch your multi-cloud marketplace motion with confidence.

Co-sell is the motion where ISVs and cloud provider field teams work together to identify, validate, and close deals. The ISV registers an opportunity in the cloud's co-sell system; the cloud rep provides customer intel, technical validation, and procurement support; the deal closes through the marketplace, giving the cloud rep credit against their quota. Co-sell is not a passive benefit of being a cloud partner. It's an active sales discipline that requires dedicated headcount, structured processes, and integration with your existing sales motion. Teams that treat it as "nice to have" leave 30-50% of marketplace pipeline on the table. ## Why co-sell works Cloud provider field reps carry quota. Their quota is typically tied to customer cloud consumption — how much AWS, Azure, or GCP revenue each account generates. Marketplace purchases drive consumption by drawing down EDP, MACC, and CUD commitments. This creates a direct economic incentive for cloud reps to help you sell: - Your deal drives a marketplace transaction - The marketplace transaction burns EDP/MACC/CUD spend - Cloud consumption counts toward the rep's quota - The rep wins — by helping you win This is why cloud reps take meetings. This is why they share account intel. This is why they'll fight procurement battles on your behalf. When their incentives align with yours, they become an extension of your sales team. ## Co-sell systems by cloud Each hyperscaler runs its own co-sell system. The mechanics differ but the core loop is the same. Cloud System Entry criteria AWS ACE (APN Customer Engagements) Advanced tier AWS Partner Network + active marketplace listing Microsoft Partner Center co-sell solutions Transactable offer + IP Co-Sell Ready status Google Cloud Partner Advantage deal registration Build or Premier tier + marketplace listing Each system has its own data model, UI, approval workflow, and seller incentive structure. Managing all three manually is a full-time job — most ISVs hit operational pain at 15-20 active deals. ## Account mapping — the foundation Account mapping compares your target account list against the cloud's customer base to identify overlap. It's the single most valuable exercise in co-sell. The process: 1. **Export your target accounts** from your CRM — typically by segment, region, or ICP fit 2. **Share with your cloud alliance manager** — they'll return a cross-referenced list showing which accounts are active cloud customers and at what spend level 3. **Prioritize the overlap** — accounts with large committed cloud spend (EDP/MACC/CUD) and active AWS/Azure/GCP field coverage are your highest-leverage co-sell targets 4. **Plan joint outreach** — pair your AE with the cloud rep for introduction, discovery, and validation Most ISVs run account mapping quarterly. Teams that do it monthly see significantly higher co-sell pipeline because they catch changes in cloud rep ownership and new customer wins faster. ## Deal registration — the sales discipline Deal registration is the act of submitting an opportunity to the cloud's co-sell system. It's the foundational discipline of co-sell because: - Unregistered deals are invisible to cloud reps — they can't help what they don't see - Registration creates an opportunity ID that binds the deal to the cloud's pipeline tracking - Unregistered deals that close via marketplace don't earn the cloud rep any credit, so the rep deprioritizes you next time Registration should be a hard gate in your sales process — every qualified opportunity gets registered in the relevant cloud(s) before the first demo. Build it into your opportunity stage workflow, your deal desk checklist, and your rep comp plan. ## The co-sell loop The operational loop across all three clouds: 1. **Register** the opportunity with customer, deal size, timeline, stage 2. **Cloud rep validates** — confirms the account, marks opportunity as approved 3. **Joint planning** — ISV and cloud rep align on strategy, messaging, technical validation, and procurement path 4. **Execute** — run the sales cycle with the cloud rep as an embedded team member 5. **Close** through a marketplace private offer; cloud rep earns quota credit 6. **Win wire** — share the closed-deal outcome back to the cloud rep and their manager, including the marketplace transaction detail The last step matters. Cloud reps compete for internal recognition. Public credit for closed deals — via win wires, executive briefings, or marketplace success stories — creates a feedback loop where reps want to work with you again. ## CRM integration — where everything breaks The biggest operational failure in co-sell is data fragmentation. Opportunities live in your CRM. Co-sell registrations live in ACE / Partner Center / Partner Advantage. Reps have to update both, manually, and they rarely do. The consequences: - Unregistered deals because reps forget to submit - Stale co-sell data because status updates don't sync back to CRM - Broken attribution — leadership can't measure partner-sourced vs partner-influenced - Missed pipeline visibility when cloud reps surface referrals that never reach your AEs Integration is the fix. A proper Cloud GTM platform bidirectionally syncs opportunities between your CRM and every cloud's co-sell system — reps work in Salesforce or HubSpot as normal, and the platform handles the cloud-side propagation. [Suger unifies co-sell across AWS, Azure, and GCP](/platform/cosell/) inside your existing CRM. ## Comp neutrality — or reps will sandbag the channel Cloud marketplaces charge 3-5% transaction fees. If you let that fee pass through to rep commission, reps will actively avoid marketplace deals — because their take-home drops on the exact same ACV. Comp neutrality means: - Reps earn identical commission on direct vs marketplace deals - The company absorbs the marketplace fee as cost of distribution - Rep incentives align with buyer preference — which is usually marketplace Companies that don't enforce comp neutrality report the same outcome: reps steer customers away from marketplace procurement, despite buyer preference. Fix comp before you scale co-sell. ## Co-sell KPIs Track these five metrics: 1. **Co-sell registration rate** — % of qualified opportunities registered in the relevant cloud(s). Target: 90%+ 2. **Co-sell win rate** — close rate on registered deals vs direct deals. Co-sell should outperform 3. **Inbound vs outbound co-sell ratio** — share of co-sell opportunities that cloud reps bring to you vs ones you register with them. Growing inbound means partners trust you 4. **Co-sell revenue attribution** — ARR sourced or influenced by cloud partners, reported quarterly 5. **Time-from-registration-to-close** — measures how fast co-sell accelerates deals vs direct [Unified reporting across all clouds](/platform/reporting/) is what makes these measurable in practice. ## Common co-sell mistakes ### 1\. No comp neutrality Reps avoid marketplace deals. Fix before scaling anything else. ### 2\. Registering late Registering only after the deal is committed means cloud reps couldn't help during discovery or technical validation — where their help mattered most. ### 3\. No 'better together' collateral Cloud reps need a one-pager that explains what your product does, what cloud consumption it drives, and what joint customer outcomes look like. Without collateral, they can't position you to their own accounts. ### 4\. Ignoring inbound referrals When a cloud rep surfaces an opportunity to you, respond within 24 hours. Delayed response signals deprioritization and reps learn not to bring you deals. ### 5\. No data sync Manual CRM updates break. Attribution breaks. Leadership loses visibility. Integrate co-sell systems with your CRM from day one. ## Frequently asked questions What is co-sell? + Co-sell is the motion where ISVs and cloud provider field teams work together to identify, validate, and close deals. The ISV registers opportunities in the cloud's co-sell system, the cloud rep provides customer intel and procurement support, and the deal closes through the marketplace — giving the cloud rep credit toward quota. Why do cloud providers co-sell? + Cloud reps carry quota tied to customer cloud consumption. Marketplace purchases drive that consumption by drawing down EDP / MACC / CUD commitments. Co-selling lets the cloud rep hit quota through partner deals rather than only direct cloud-product sales — it's a revenue multiplier for them. What is deal registration? + Deal registration is the act of submitting an opportunity to the cloud's co-sell system (ACE for AWS, Partner Center for Microsoft, Partner Advantage for GCP). Registering the deal makes it visible to cloud reps, assigns it an opportunity ID, and sets up the collaboration workflow. What is account mapping? + Account mapping is the exercise of comparing your target account list against the cloud's customer base. The overlap identifies accounts where both you and the cloud are actively selling — and where co-sell can be highest-leverage. Typically done quarterly with cloud alliance managers. What is comp neutrality? + Comp neutrality means your sales reps earn the same commission on marketplace/co-sold deals as they do on direct deals. Without comp neutrality, reps avoid marketplace deals because the 3% fee shrinks their payout. With it, reps have no reason not to use the marketplace channel. How long before co-sell starts producing pipeline? + Expect 3-6 months before meaningful co-sell pipeline appears. The first 90 days are about enrolling in programs, building 'better together' collateral, and running initial account mapping. Months 3-6 produce the first inbound referrals. Beyond month 6, co-sell becomes a repeatable pipeline channel. What's the difference between partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline? + Partner-sourced means the opportunity originated from the cloud partner (e.g., an AWS rep introduced the buyer to you). Partner-influenced means the deal existed already but the cloud rep supported procurement or technical validation. Both count toward co-sell value but track separately for attribution. ## Make co-sell repeatable. Suger unifies ACE, Partner Center, and Partner Advantage in your CRM — registration, account mapping, and attribution in one place.

Google Cloud Marketplace is a digital storefront where software companies list products and Google Cloud customers buy them using their existing Google Cloud billing relationship. It spans thousands of partner listings across 65 countries and 30 currencies, and was named a Leader in IDC's November 2025 Worldwide Hyperscaler Marketplaces MarketScape. ![Google Cloud Marketplace storefront overview showing third-party software, AI agents, and datasets that customers can discover, purchase, and deploy through their existing Google Cloud billing relationship across 65 countries and 30 currencies.](/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/what-is-gcp-marketplace.png) Google Cloud Marketplace lets customers buy third-party software through their existing Google Cloud billing relationship. ### What are the benefits of selling on Google Cloud Marketplace? Four things ISVs cannot replicate on their own: - Access to a $240B Google Cloud committed-spend backlog - The highest take rate of any major cloud marketplace — up to 98.5% of TCV on large private offers - A dedicated commercial channel for AI agents through Gemini Enterprise - A co-sell motion where Google field reps earn quota credit and SPIFFs on closed Marketplace deals Enterprise software sales through cloud marketplaces hit roughly $30 billion in 2024. Omdia's October 2025 forecast projects $163 billion by 2030 at a 29.1% CAGR, with agentic AI alone driving an estimated $24.4 billion of that. Across the Big 3 Hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft, and Google), enterprises now hold close to $470 billion in committed cloud spend — and a fast-growing share flows through marketplace procurement. Procurement teams are consolidating vendor purchases through cloud providers they already pay. If your software is on Google Cloud Marketplace, it becomes part of a budget that's already approved. If it's not, you're competing for a separate line item that has to clear vendor onboarding, legal review, and procurement committee from scratch. ### Does buying on Google Cloud Marketplace count toward committed spend? Yes — and this is the single biggest reason Marketplace is exploding. Enterprises sign multi-year Google Cloud Committed Spend (GCC) agreements, often $10M to $1B+, in exchange for discounts. If they don't consume the commitment, they lose negotiating leverage at renewal or forfeit credits outright. Marketplace purchases count against GCC. As of June 9, 2025, qualifying Marketplace Channel Private Offer (MCPO) transactions deliver 100% commit drawdown tied to the final negotiated price, capped at 25% of the total commitment. The sales conversation changes completely. You're no longer asking the buyer to find new budget. You're helping them spend budget they've already committed. ### How long do Google Cloud Marketplace deals take to close? Google Cloud Marketplace compresses enterprise procurement from months to weeks by eliminating new vendor onboarding, separate invoicing, and independent legal review. Per the Google-commissioned [Futurum Group](https://futurumgroup.com) study Scaling Smarter (June 2025), 100% of ISVs surveyed said Marketplace shortens sales cycles, and high-performing partners report 2–4 weeks of cycle compression on enterprise deals. What changes for the buyer: - The existing Google Cloud billing relationship covers the transaction — no new vendor setup - Private offer acceptance creates a binding agreement directly on the buyer's Google Cloud project - Deals that take 3–4 months through traditional procurement can close in weeks - Google field sales reps (FSRs) get quota credit on Marketplace third-party deals plus SPIFFs on closes — making co-sell a structural priority, not a favor The same Futurum study found: Metric Lift for Marketplace partners Deal size +112% Multi-year deals 70% of partners report more Marketplace revenue growth in 2024 90% of partners (65% at high double-digit) Customer retention +14% ### Can I sell internationally on Google Cloud Marketplace? Yes. Google Cloud handles multi-currency billing, localized tax compliance, and regional regulatory frameworks across 65 countries and 30 currencies. A 50-person SaaS company can sell into EMEA, APAC, and LATAM through Marketplace without building international billing, invoicing, or tax infrastructure — removing a barrier that would otherwise take months of legal and finance work plus regional entity setup. ## What can you sell on Google Cloud Marketplace? Google Cloud Marketplace supports nine commercial listing types. Your product type determines your integration path, available pricing models, and how downstream deal structures work. ![The nine commercial listing types on Google Cloud Marketplace: integrated SaaS, VM products, Kubernetes apps, Terraform Kubernetes apps, container images, BigQuery datasets, professional services, foundation models, and AI agents using the A2A protocol.](/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/what-you-can-sell.png) Google Cloud Marketplace supports nine listing types, from integrated SaaS to A2A-protocol AI agents. ### What product types does Google Cloud Marketplace support? Product type What it is Best for Integrated SaaS (Google-billed) Vendor-operated SaaS where Google handles procurement, entitlements, and billing through the Cloud Commerce Partner Procurement API Modern B2B SaaS; the default for new listings VM products Pre-configured Compute Engine images with deployment packages Applications requiring customer-side compute Kubernetes apps Containerized apps for GKE and GKE Enterprise Containerized workloads and microservices Terraform Kubernetes apps Helm-chart-based path through Artifact Registry Standardized GKE/Helm deployments Container images Open-source containers via Artifact Registry / Container Registry Developer-facing OSS tools Datasets BigQuery-hosted commercial data Data vendors (Dun & Bradstreet, Equifax, Weather Source) Professional services Implementation, training, managed services, premium support Service delivery; private-offer only, US-only at launch Foundation models / LLMs Models deployable to Vertex AI with provisioned throughput Model providers (Anthropic, AI21) AI agents (A2A protocol) Agents that integrate with Gemini Enterprise via Agent Cards Agentic AI products Standalone (non-integrated) SaaS listings are no longer accepted; existing standalone listings must convert to integrated billing within six months. ### What are AI agents on Google Cloud Marketplace? The AI Agent Marketplace launched at Google Cloud Next '25 (April 2025) as a dedicated category for agentic AI products. By Next '26 the catalog had grown to more than 70 partner-built agents from Accenture, Adobe, Deloitte, PwC, UiPath, and others. Agents listed with Agent Cards — JSON metadata files conforming to the A2A protocol — appear directly inside Gemini Enterprise's Agent Gallery, a distribution surface no other hyperscaler offers. The A2A protocol moved to neutral governance under the [Linux Foundation](https://www.linuxfoundation.org)'s Agentic AI Foundation in April 2026, with version 1.2 reported in production at more than 150 organizations including Google, Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow. Google announced a $750M partner innovation fund at Next '26 oriented toward agent builders. For ISVs with an agentic AI component, this is the single largest 2025–2026 strategic opportunity on any cloud marketplace. The category went from launch to 70+ validated agents in twelve months. Buyer behavior, pricing norms, and validation friction are still being established — early movers can establish disproportionate visibility before the catalog gets crowded. ### Does my product need to run on Google Cloud to list on Marketplace? Yes — your product must be primarily hosted on Google Cloud. This is the single largest gating requirement. Google validates it through a Solution Validation Form review and accepts six documented architecture patterns, from "every component on GCP" to designs where the compute/data plane lives on Google Cloud while smaller control planes, agents, or migration sources sit elsewhere. The core scale, destination, or storage plane of your product must be on Google Cloud. ISVs whose primary footprint is [AWS Marketplace](/resources/guides/aws-marketplace/) or Azure face a real architectural decision before they can list. Depending on product complexity, this can mean months of engineering work. ## How much does selling on Google Cloud Marketplace cost? Google charges a [percentage-based revenue share](https://cloud.google.com/marketplace/docs) on each Marketplace transaction, calculated on pre-tax total contract value. As of May 15, 2025, Google moved from a flat 3% fee to a variable structure that rewards larger deals — meaningfully more ISV-favorable than the AWS or Azure flat fees on equivalent deals. ### What is the Google Cloud Marketplace revenue share? Deal type Revenue share ISV net Standard public offers and private offers under $1M TCV 3.0% 97.0% Private offers $1M – $10M TCV 2.0% 98.0% Private offers $10M+ TCV 1.5% 98.5% All renewals 1.5% 98.5% Eligible channel shifts, migrations, native renewals 1.5% 98.5% MCPO channel deals No incremental fee to the ISV — Three points worth internalizing: - **The rate is tiered per-deal, not vendor-wide.** A $12M private offer is charged at 1.5%, even if the rest of your Marketplace revenue is at 3%. - **Renewals at 1.5% materially improve LTV math** compared to the 3% net-new rate — a reason to price multi-year contracts and prepay structures aggressively. - **MCPO carries no incremental ISV fee** — a meaningful structural advantage over AWS CPPO, which adds a 0.5% uplift. ### What pricing models does Google Cloud Marketplace support? Model Available for How it works Free SaaS, VM, Kubernetes Customer pays only underlying Google Cloud infrastructure BYOL VM, Kubernetes Vendor sells the license outside Marketplace; Marketplace handles discovery and deployment Subscription SaaS Flat monthly or annual fee, prorated for partial months Usage-based (metered) SaaS, VM, Kubernetes Customer pays on measured consumption; SaaS requires Service Control usage reporting within one hour of generation Combined (subscription + usage) SaaS Base subscription plus variable consumption fee Private offer All paid types Custom pricing, terms, and payment schedules negotiated with a specific customer SaaS supports up to 24 pricing plans per product and up to eight metrics per usage-based plan. Once you publish a listing, pricing model changes are gated by a minimum 30-day window. Choose your model with downstream deal structures in mind — not just your current billing pattern. ### How do Google Cloud Marketplace disbursements work? Google bills the buyer, collects payment, and disburses to the seller on a monthly cycle. ISVs are paid on the 21st of the following month, with the underlying payment landing 45–60 days after the customer billing cycle. You never invoice Google directly — this eliminates late-payment risk but ties cash flow to Google's disbursement timeline. What you need to know: - Disbursements are calculated on aggregate monthly revenue across all Marketplace transactions - ISV reports — charges, usage, disbursements, customer insights — are available in BigQuery - A Postpay Credits column in the detailed disbursements report tracks commitment credits applied to private offers - Reconciliation involves parsing disbursement files, matching transactions to internal records, and handling refunds and credits At low deal volume, reconciliation is manageable in spreadsheets. At scale, it becomes a significant operational workload that finance teams underestimate at the planning stage. [Cloud GTM](/resources/guides/cloud-gtm/) platforms like Suger automate [disbursement reconciliation](/platform/reporting/), match Marketplace payouts to internal records, and feed clean data into your ERP and revenue stack. ## How to list on Google Cloud Marketplace ![The three-phase Google Cloud Marketplace listing process: preparation and enrollment, product/pricing/integration, and review/launch/operate — spanning 8 to 16 weeks for a well-prepared product.](/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/how-to-list.png) Listing on Google Cloud Marketplace runs through three phases over 8–16 weeks for a well-prepared product. Listing runs through three phases over 8–16 weeks for a well-prepared product, longer if engineering bandwidth is constrained or architecture changes are needed to meet the primary-hosting requirement. ### What are the requirements to sell on Google Cloud Marketplace? To get listed on Google Cloud Marketplace, you need: - Membership in good standing in the [Google Cloud Partner Network](https://cloud.google.com/partners) (Build engagement model for ISVs) - An accepted Marketplace Vendor Agreement, signed by a Partner Administrator in Partner Network Hub - A legal entity incorporated in a Google-supported region - A payment profile in good standing — the entity must match the MVA signatory and the address must sit in the country of incorporation - A dedicated public Google Cloud project (recommended naming pattern: PARTNER\_NAME-public) - A production-ready, enterprise-ready product — no alpha or beta, no known vulnerabilities, with feature parity to off-Marketplace versions - An architecture that passes the "primarily hosted on Google Cloud" test under one of six accepted patterns The most common bottleneck is the legal-and-banking sequence. Many ISVs lose weeks because they start tax and banking setup after beginning listing work. Submit MVA, banking, and tax documentation in parallel with technical work — this stall point has no technical workaround. ### How to list on Google Cloud Marketplace step-by-step Google publishes stage-specific timing rather than a single end-to-end SLA. Pricing review takes up to four business days, some component reviews take up to two weeks, and VM products can go public within minutes once final approvals land. The realistic end-to-end timeline for a well-prepared SaaS ISV is 8–16 weeks. **Phase 1: Preparation and enrollment.** Join the Google Cloud Partner Network and sign the Marketplace Vendor Agreement (1–4 weeks depending on document turnaround), then complete the Cloud Marketplace Project Info Form to unlock Producer Portal and API access. Configure your payment profile so the legal entity matches the MVA signatory and the address sits in the country of incorporation. Set up IAM roles for your build team — SaaS teams typically need Service Account Admin, while VM and Kubernetes teams need Compute Storage Admin. **Phase 2: Product, pricing, and integration.** Submit your pricing model for review (up to four business days — start this early since it can run in parallel with technical work). Build the integration path for your product type: Cloud Commerce Partner Procurement API integration for SaaS (account creation, entitlement events, usage reporting via Service Control), deployment packaging for VM, or repo and chart packaging for Kubernetes apps. Complete the Solution Validation Form and pass architectural review (typically 2–4 weeks). Build the required co-branded landing page for SaaS listings. **Phase 3: Review, launch, and operate.** Submit for final review across Product details, Pricing, and Technical integration. SaaS reviews cover end-to-end procurement flow; VM reviews include deploy/uninstall validation, unit tests, and image vulnerability scanning; Kubernetes apps are scanned with Artifact Analysis. Once approved, publish via Producer Portal. After launch, your Partner Engineer creates a public issue tracker for the product, and you begin operating against ongoing compliance and disbursement workflows. Cloud GTM platforms like [Suger](/platform/product-listing/) compress what's typically a 6–8 week internal engineering effort into 5–10 business days by handling Procurement API integration, listing submission, and review cycles through pre-built connections. ### What makes a Google Cloud Marketplace listing successful? Listing quality matters for two reasons that compound. **Discoverability.** Keywords in your title, description, and category metadata drive Marketplace search placement. "Cloud cost optimization for BigQuery workloads" outperforms "comprehensive platform for enterprises." Think about what an enterprise buyer would type into Marketplace search and work backward. **Field seller engagement.** Google field reps evaluate your listing before deciding whether to bring you into a co-sell motion. A thin or generic listing reduces the likelihood they'll champion you. Architecture diagrams showing how your product integrates with Vertex AI, BigQuery, Looker, or Chronicle improve both buyer confidence and field engagement. ISVs that actively update content, reflect new features and use cases, and optimize based on performance data see compounding returns. A [Cloud GTM platform](/platform/) like Suger lets you manage and update listings across Google Cloud Marketplace as well as AWS and Microsoft from a single interface, so maintenance doesn't require logging into separate marketplace consoles. ## What are the offer types on Google Cloud Marketplace? ![The three offer types on Google Cloud Marketplace: public offers visible to any buyer, private offers with customer-specific negotiated pricing and terms, and Marketplace Channel Private Offers (MCPO) where a channel partner owns billing and revenue recognition.](/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/offer-types.png) Google Cloud Marketplace transactions flow through public offers, private offers, and channel-partner MCPO. Google Cloud Marketplace transactions happen through three primary paths, namely Public Offers, Private Offers, and Marketplace Channel Private Offers (MCPO). Deal path What it is When to use it Public offer Default listing pricing, visible to any buyer Self-service, PLG, low-friction SaaS, developer tools Private offer Customer-specific pricing, terms, and payment schedule Enterprise deals, negotiated pricing, multi-year commitments MCPO (channel private offer) Channel partner extends a private offer to the customer; partner owns billing and revenue recognition Reseller-led deals, SI bundles, regional coverage, deals where the partner holds the customer relationship ### What are public offers on Google Cloud Marketplace? A public offer is the default listing: pricing, terms, and entitlements visible to any Google Cloud customer. The buyer experience is straightforward — review the listing, subscribe, deploy — and can happen in a single session, with Google handling billing through the customer's existing project. Public offers work for product-led growth motions, free-trial conversion, and developer-facing tools. Most ISVs see >70% of revenue flow through private offers once they hit enterprise scale, but public listings remain the discovery layer. ### What are private offers on Google Cloud Marketplace? A private offer is a customer-specific commercial agreement with negotiated pricing, payment schedule, term length, and contract language. When accepted, it creates a binding entitlement directly on the customer's Google Cloud project. [Private offers](/platform/private-offers/) on Google Cloud Marketplace support unusually flexible commercial terms compared to other hyperscaler marketplaces: - Five pricing structures: flat-fee, usage-discount, commit-discount with overage at list, commit-discount on all usage, and flat-fee-plus-usage-discount - Monthly, quarterly, annual, or fully custom installment payment schedules - Upfront prepay supported up to 5 years - Contract terms supported up to 7 years - Multiple concurrent active offers for the same customer (added April 2025) - Automatic offer approval with scheduled start dates A Cloud GTM platform like Suger lets your team create, route, approve, and track private offers directly from [Salesforce or HubSpot](/platform/integrations/) — no Producer Portal switching required. The offer workflow lives where reps already work. ### What are Marketplace Channel Private Offers (MCPO)? [Marketplace Channel Private Offers (MCPO)](/platform/resale-offers/) allow authorized Google Cloud channel partners — resellers, systems integrators, and managed service providers — to extend private offers to end customers on the ISV's behalf. The partner owns billing, invoicing, and topline revenue recognition. This is structurally different from AWS CPPO and Azure equivalents, where channel partners typically recognize only margin. Three things make MCPO strategically important in 2026: - **100% commit drawdown** on qualifying transactions (see the committed-spend section above) brings Google to parity with AWS EDP and Azure MACC for channel-driven enterprise procurement. - **Channel growth is accelerating.** Third-party gross transaction value resold through Google Cloud channel partners grew 170% from 2023 to 2024. Omdia projects nearly 60% of all hyperscaler marketplace transactions to flow through the channel by 2030. - **No incremental ISV fee** on channel-routed transactions. The operational complexity is the catch. Each new partner adds private offer plans, parent/sub-billing account discount management, channel attribution rules, and reseller-side reporting workflows. As partners multiply, the operational surface area grows fast. Suger treats MCPO as a first-class product surface: reseller private offer plans, parent/sub-account discount management, and channel deal attribution run from one CRM-embedded workflow. ### What is the Google Cloud Marketplace Reseller Program? The Google Cloud Marketplace Reseller Program is the partner-side enrollment structure that authorizes channel partners to resell ISV products listed on Google Cloud Marketplace. Partners enroll under the **Sell engagement model** within the Google Cloud Partner Network, distinct from the Build model used by ISVs and the Service model used by consulting partners. The Reseller Program and MCPO are two halves of the same motion: - **The Reseller Program** is the enrollment and authorization structure that qualifies a partner to participate - **MCPO** is the deal mechanism that resellers use to transact The transaction flow: 1. The ISV creates a **private offer plan** in the Producer Portal, setting the wholesale terms the reseller can build customer-facing offers from 2. The reseller uses the Partner Sales Console to build customized MCPO offers 3. The reseller extends the offer to their end customer 4. The reseller owns billing, invoicing, and the customer relationship Three things make Google's Reseller Program structurally different from AWS CPPO: - **Resellers recognize topline revenue, not just margin.** The reseller bills the customer directly and recognizes the full transaction value. On AWS CPPO, the reseller typically recognizes only the margin between wholesale and customer price — a meaningful difference for SI and MSP business models. - **Customers can apply Google Cloud commitments to reseller-billed deals** (see the committed-spend section above for the 100% drawdown details) - **No incremental ISV fee** on channel-routed transactions, unlike AWS CPPO's 0.5% uplift For ISVs building a channel motion, managing reseller relationships at scale quickly becomes a meaningful operational workload — onboarding partners, creating private offer plans, tracking wholesale vs. street pricing, attributing deals, and handling reseller-side reporting. Suger handles the full reseller lifecycle from one interface inside your CRM. ## How to co-sell with Google Cloud Co-selling is the highest-leverage growth motion on Google Cloud Marketplace. ### What is co-selling on Google Cloud Marketplace? ![Google Cloud co-sell motion where the ISV brings product, pricing, and customer success, Google field reps bring customer relationships and procurement leverage, and Google Cloud Marketplace serves as the commercial workflow for private offers, billing, entitlements, and commit drawdown.](/guides/google-cloud-marketplace/co-selling.png) In a Google Cloud co-sell motion, ISVs sell with Google — not to or through Google. Co-selling is a joint go-to-market motion where an ISV and Google's sales teams work together to identify, qualify, and close customer deals — with Google Cloud Marketplace serving as the transaction and procurement layer. ISVs don't sell _to_ Google or _through_ Google. They sell _with_ Google. Who brings what: Party Contribution Google field reps Customer relationship, account intelligence, procurement leverage ISV Product, pricing, customer success Marketplace Commercial workflow — private offers, billing, entitlements, commit drawdown For ISVs, [co-selling](/platform/cosell/) unlocks four things direct sales motions can't replicate: - Access to Google's enterprise customer relationships at organizations the ISV would struggle to reach cold - Alignment of software purchases with the customer's existing Google Cloud commitment - Faster procurement cycles via the buyer's existing GCP billing relationship - Structural sales support — Google FSRs are financially incentivized to engage, with quota credit on Marketplace third-party deals and SPIFFs on closes The co-sell flow typically runs: 1. ISV lists on Marketplace and earns ISV Solution Connect status 2. Deals are identified — either ISV-sourced (introduced to Google) or Google-sourced (the FSR brings the ISV into an existing conversation) 3. The opportunity is registered and tracked to avoid channel conflict 4. The deal closes through a Marketplace private offer or MCPO transaction ### What is the Google Cloud Partner Network? The Google Cloud Partner Network is Google's overarching partner program, restructured in Q1 2026 (replacing the long-running Partner Advantage program) around three tiers — **Select, Premier, and Diamond** — with automated tracking of customer outcomes and a competency framework that rewards co-sell contribution and certified skills rather than business-plan paperwork. ISVs enroll under the **Build engagement model**, distinct from the Sell model (resellers) and Service model (SIs and consultancies). Three things to know about the 2026 transition (announced by Colleen Kapase, VP Worldwide Partners & Alliances at Google Cloud, in late 2025): - **Tier promotion is outcomes-based.** Movement between tiers depends on validated closed-won contributions and certification credentials, not narrative business plans. - **Diamond is intentionally selective**, reserved for the highest-performing partners with deep co-sell engagement. - **Automation is real.** Customer outcome tracking and program eligibility are measured automatically through CRM and Marketplace data. Every existing partner needs to remap tier strategy and ensure Marketplace co-sell data is clean enough to feed automated tier evaluation. Suger keeps your co-sell pipeline, deal registrations, and tier-relevant outcomes in sync between your CRM and Google's partner systems automatically. ### What is ISV Solution Connect? ISV Solution Connect is Google Cloud's invitation-only co-sell program for Build-authorized partners with at least one paid Marketplace listing and a track record of transacting — typically two or more closed Marketplace deals. Members appear in Google's internal ISV Solution Connect Partner Directory in front of Google field sales reps, unlocking joint deal opportunities and direct field engagement on accounts where the ISV's product matches the customer's workload. A strong listing and active transaction history attract field engagement; field engagement generates pipeline; pipeline drives more field interest. Without ISV Solution Connect membership, you're effectively invisible to Google's field motion regardless of listing quality. ### Why are Google field reps incentivized to co-sell? Google field sales reps receive quota attainment credit on Marketplace-routed third-party deals (most Marketplace solutions are quota-eligible), with SPIFFs available on closed co-sell deals. This is the structural foundation of the co-sell flywheel — Google's field is financially motivated to bring ISV products into customer conversations. The operational implication: keeping deal registration and attribution in sync between your CRM and Google's partner systems becomes critical as concurrent co-sell opportunities grow. Without integration, attribution is unreliable, FSR credit gets misallocated, and leadership can't answer how much pipeline is partner-sourced versus partner-influenced. Suger syncs co-sell opportunities between your CRM and Google's partner systems in real time. ## What programs and incentives does Google Cloud Marketplace offer ISVs? Google offers ISVs several programs that materially change Marketplace economics. What's available depends on your tier, transaction history, and product category. ### What is the Marketplace Customer Credit Program (MCCP)? The Marketplace Customer Credit Program (MCCP) gives end customers **up to 3% of their purchase in Google Cloud credits** when they buy eligible third-party solutions through Marketplace for the first time. Credits apply to first-party Google Cloud services, effectively reducing the customer's net cost of a Marketplace purchase. For ISVs, MCCP delivers three things: - Shortens decision cycles by lowering net cost for the buyer - Gives sellers a tangible incentive to pitch against alternatives - Helps newer ISVs compete with established vendors The program caps at approximately $8.3M annualized GTV in credits per eligible ISV. ### What is the Marketplace Consumption Partner Offer program? The Marketplace Consumption Partner Offer program rewards ISVs whose software meaningfully drives net-new Google Cloud consumption — data pipelines that increase BigQuery usage, ML platforms that drive Vertex AI consumption, or analytics products that scale customer storage and compute. Qualifying ISVs receive compensation on top of standard Marketplace software revenue. If your product complements BigQuery, Vertex AI, Looker, Gemini, or Chronicle, you're in the cohort Google's GTM teams are structurally incentivized to amplify. ### What is the Build engagement model on Google Cloud? The Build engagement model is the ISV-specific track within the Google Cloud Partner Network. It's distinct from the Sell engagement model (resellers) and the Service engagement model (SIs and consultancies): Engagement model Who it's for What it unlocks Build ISVs Marketplace publishing, ISV co-sell programs, technical enablement, certification path Sell Resellers, distributors Reseller program enrollment, MCPO transactions Service SIs, consultancies Service delivery programs, implementation partner status For most software companies, Build is the right model. Confirm your enrollment is under Build before investing meaningful time in listing or co-sell work. ## Common Google Cloud Marketplace challenges and how to solve them Each challenge below maps to a specific stage of maturity — and each has a clear fix. ### What if my product isn't hosted on Google Cloud? The single largest structural challenge for ISVs not already on Google Cloud is meeting the "primarily hosted on Google Cloud" requirement. Google validates this through the Solution Validation Form and accepts six architecture patterns, but the bar is real: the core scale, destination, or storage plane of your product must be on Google Cloud. ISVs primarily on AWS or Azure may need months of engineering work before they can list. What to do: assess architectural fit before investing in listing prep. Map your product against Google's six accepted patterns. If the gap is small (replicating storage to GCS, deploying a control plane on GCP), the lift is manageable. If your entire data plane runs on a competing cloud, expect this to be a multi-quarter project, not a marketing milestone. ### Why do manual private offer workflows fail at scale? The first few private offers close through manual effort. Someone logs into the Producer Portal, builds the offer, emails the buyer, waits for acceptance, updates the CRM. At 5+ offers per month, four things break: - Approvals get lost in email threads - Offers expire before buyers accept - Pricing errors surface in deals that already closed - The team creating offers becomes a bottleneck What to do: build approval workflows with clear routing. Set pre-approved pricing thresholds so standard deals move without manual sign-off. Connect offer creation to your CRM so reps work from one system. Suger lets your team create, route, and approve private offers directly inside Salesforce or HubSpot, with pre-filled pricing and deal terms pulled from the opportunity record. ### How do I keep co-sell data in sync with my CRM? Opportunities registered with Google through Partner Network Hub end up disconnected from your CRM. Attribution becomes unreliable. Leadership can't answer basic questions about partner-sourced versus partner-influenced pipeline — which becomes a serious problem when the Google Cloud Partner Network auto-evaluates tier eligibility from outcomes data. What to do: integrate Google's partner systems with your CRM so deal registration and status sync automatically. Define attribution rules before volume makes retroactive classification impossible. Run regular data audits to catch sync gaps early. Suger handles this bi-directionally — co-sell opportunities, status changes, and field engagement signals flow between CRM and Google's partner systems without manual re-entry. ### How do I reconcile Google Cloud Marketplace revenue in finance? Google has its own disbursement timing (21st of the month), reporting formats, and fee structure that doesn't map cleanly to direct sales motions. The May 2025 variable revenue share added per-deal rate variation (1.5% / 2% / 3%). The Postpay Credits column tracks commitment credits applied to private offers, which has to be incorporated into your revenue recognition policy. What to do: define rev rec policy for Marketplace transactions before deal volume makes it urgent. Set up disbursement tracking that maps Google payouts to internal records. Involve [finance](/solutions/finance/) in Cloud GTM planning from the start — not after the first quarter-close panic. Suger automates disbursement reconciliation across all three major clouds and feeds clean revenue data into your ERP and finance stack. ### How do I scale operations across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud? Each additional cloud marketplace adds a separate console, co-sell system, reporting stream, and disbursement process. The operational model you built for one marketplace needs to work across three or four. Challenges compound rather than parallel. What to do: treat the second marketplace launch as process replication, not a net-new build. Centralize reporting, offer management, and revenue reconciliation across clouds before adding the third. Evaluate whether your current tooling supports multi-cloud or whether a unified platform like Suger is the right investment. ## Best tools and platforms for Google Cloud Marketplace sellers Cloud GTM platforms like [Suger](/) automate the operational work of selling through Google Cloud Marketplace: - Listing management and Procurement API integration - Private offer workflows - MCPO orchestration - Co-sell synchronization with Google's partner systems - Usage metering - Disbursement reconciliation Operational work grows linearly with deal volume when managed manually. The scaling curve becomes unsustainable past a few enterprise transactions per month. ### When do you need a Cloud GTM platform for Google Cloud Marketplace? Six signals it's time: - **Engineering bandwidth is the listing bottleneck.** Direct Cloud Commerce Partner Procurement API integration takes ongoing engineering time a platform eliminates. - **Private offer volume is climbing.** Manual creation in the Producer Portal becomes a bottleneck around five offers per month. - **Co-sell motion is scaling.** Manual sync between Google's partner systems and your CRM means attribution stays unreliable — a tier-eligibility problem under the Google Cloud Partner Network. - **Finance is spending hours on reconciliation.** Each deal adds disbursement tracking, fee matching, Postpay Credits accounting, and reporting work. - **You're launching on a second marketplace.** A separate console, co-sell system, and reporting stream doubles operational overhead per new cloud. - **Reps avoid Marketplace deals.** If the workflow is slower than their standard CRM process, the channel stalls regardless of buyer demand. ### What features should a Cloud GTM platform have? Capability What to evaluate Marketplace coverage AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud at minimum; some platforms also support Snowflake or other emerging marketplaces Procurement API integration Does the platform handle Cloud Commerce Partner Procurement API integration end-to-end, or do you still need engineering work? Private offer workflows Can your team create, route, approve, and track private offers from inside your CRM rather than the Producer Portal? MCPO orchestration Can it manage reseller private offer plans, parent/sub-billing account discount management, and channel deal attribution? Co-sell automation Bi-directional sync between CRM and Google's partner systems? Automatic deal registration? Real-time status updates? Quote-to-cash depth How far past listing and offers does it extend — CPQ, metering, billing, disbursement reconciliation, ERP sync? Usage metering and billing Can it report SaaS usage to Service Control within Google's one-hour window? Does it flow into your billing system (Stripe, Metronome, Orb, Chargebee)? CRM and finance integrations Salesforce and HubSpot as baseline; does it connect to your billing system, accounting software, data warehouse? AI Agent Marketplace support Does it handle Agent Card (A2A protocol) listing workflows for the AI Agent Marketplace? ### Which Cloud GTM platform is best for Google Cloud Marketplace in 2026?

[Talk to us](/schedule-demo/). ## Frequently asked questions What is Google Cloud Marketplace? + Google Cloud Marketplace is a digital storefront where customers discover, purchase, and deploy third-party software, AI agents, and datasets using their existing Google Cloud billing relationship. It supports SaaS, Compute Engine VM products, Kubernetes apps, container images, BigQuery datasets, professional services, foundation models, and AI agents listed in the dedicated AI Agent Marketplace. How much does Google Cloud Marketplace cost? + Google Cloud Marketplace charges a variable revenue share: 3% on standard public offers and private offers under $1M TCV, 2% on private offers $1M–$10M, and 1.5% on private offers above $10M and on all renewals. Channel-routed deals through MCPO carry no incremental fee to the ISV. The variable structure took effect May 15, 2025. What pricing models does Google Cloud Marketplace support? + Google Cloud Marketplace supports six pricing models: free, BYOL (VM and Kubernetes only), subscription, usage-based metered, combined subscription-plus-usage (SaaS only), and private offers with custom commercial terms. SaaS products support up to 24 pricing plans and up to eight metrics per usage-based plan. How long does it take to list on Google Cloud Marketplace? + Google publishes stage-level timing rather than an end-to-end SLA: pricing review takes up to four business days, some component reviews take up to two weeks, and VM products can go public within minutes once final approvals land. The realistic end-to-end timeline for a well-prepared SaaS ISV is 8–16 weeks. What is a private offer on Google Cloud Marketplace? + A private offer is a customer-specific commercial agreement with negotiated pricing, payment schedules, and term length. It supports flat-fee, usage-discount, commit-discount, and hybrid pricing structures, with payment schedules from monthly to fully custom installments, prepay up to 5 years, and contract terms up to 7 years. Multiple concurrent active offers for the same customer are supported as of April 2025. What is MCPO on Google Cloud Marketplace? + MCPO — Marketplace Channel Private Offers — is the path for authorized Google Cloud channel partners to extend private offers to customers on the ISV's behalf. Partners own billing, invoicing, and topline revenue recognition. Since June 9, 2025, qualifying MCPO transactions deliver 100% Google Cloud commit drawdown (capped at 25% of total commitment). What is the Google Cloud Marketplace Reseller Program? + The Google Cloud Marketplace Reseller Program is the partner-side enrollment structure that authorizes channel partners — resellers, SIs, MSPs — to resell ISV Marketplace products to end customers. Partners enroll under the Sell engagement model within the Google Cloud Partner Network. The program works in tandem with MCPO: the Reseller Program is the authorization layer; MCPO is the deal mechanism. What is co-selling on Google Cloud Marketplace? + Co-selling is a joint go-to-market motion where an ISV and Google's sales teams work together to identify, qualify, and close customer deals — with Google Cloud Marketplace serving as the transaction layer. ISVs don't sell to or through Google; they sell with Google. Google FSRs receive quota credit and SPIFFs on closed co-sell deals, making field engagement a structural priority rather than a favor. Does Google Cloud Marketplace count toward committed spend? + Yes. Marketplace purchases count against the customer's Google Cloud Committed Spend (GCC) agreement. As of June 9, 2025, qualifying MCPO transactions deliver 100% commit drawdown tied to the final negotiated private offer price, capped at 25% of the total commitment. What is the Marketplace Customer Credit Program (MCCP)? + The Marketplace Customer Credit Program (MCCP) gives customers up to 3% in Google Cloud credits when they purchase eligible third-party solutions through Marketplace for the first time. Credits apply to Google Cloud first-party services. The program caps at approximately $8.3M annualized GTV in credits per eligible ISV. What is ISV Solution Connect? + ISV Solution Connect is Google's invitation-only co-sell program for Build-authorized partners with at least one paid Marketplace listing and typically 2+ closed Marketplace deals. Members appear in Google's internal partner directory in front of field sales reps and unlock joint deal opportunities. What is the Google Cloud Partner Network? + The Google Cloud Partner Network is Google's overarching partner program, restructured in Q1 2026 (replacing Partner Advantage) around three tiers — Select, Premier, and Diamond. Tier promotion is outcomes-based, driven by validated closed-won contributions and certification credentials rather than business-plan paperwork. ISVs enroll under the Build engagement model. Can I list on Google Cloud Marketplace if my product runs primarily on AWS or Azure? + Not under standard onboarding. Google requires that products be primarily hosted on Google Cloud, validated through the Solution Validation Form. Six architecture patterns are accepted, but the core compute/data plane or storage must be on Google Cloud. ISVs primarily on AWS or Azure may need significant architectural work before they can list. Can I change my pricing model after listing on Google Cloud Marketplace? + Pricing model changes are gated by a minimum 30-day window between price changes after publication. Structural decisions are more permanent — Product ID and solution type cannot be changed after creation. Choose your model carefully with downstream deal structures in mind. How do Google Cloud Marketplace disbursements work? + Google bills the customer, collects payment, and disburses to the ISV on a monthly cycle — typically the 21st of the month following the customer billing cycle. ISVs do not invoice Google directly. Reports are available in BigQuery. A Postpay Credits column tracks commitment credits applied to private offers. What is the AI Agent Marketplace on Google Cloud? + The AI Agent Marketplace is a dedicated category launched at Google Cloud Next '25 (April 2025) for agentic AI products. Agents are listed with Agent Cards — JSON metadata files conforming to the A2A protocol — and appear directly inside Gemini Enterprise's Agent Gallery. By Next '26, the catalog had grown to 70+ validated partner agents. The A2A protocol moved to neutral governance under the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation in April 2026. How is Google Cloud Marketplace different from AWS Marketplace? + Three structural differences matter for ISVs: Lower fees on large deals — Google's variable revenue share drops to 1.5% on private offers above $10M and on all renewals, while AWS Marketplace charges 1.5–3% on tiered private offers but applies a flat 3% on SaaS public offers and 20% on server listings. Topline revenue for resellers — Google Cloud channel partners recognize the full transaction value as revenue, while AWS CPPO resellers typically recognize only margin between wholesale and customer price. AI Agent Marketplace — Google has a dedicated category for AI agents surfaced through Gemini Enterprise's Agent Gallery, a distribution surface AWS doesn't currently offer. What is a Cloud GTM platform? + A Cloud GTM platform (for e.g Suger) automates the operational work of selling through cloud marketplaces: listing management, Procurement API integration, private offer workflows, channel partner orchestration, co-sell synchronization, usage metering, billing, and revenue reconciliation. Platforms like Suger let ISVs operate marketplace motions across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud from a single CRM-embedded interface. ## Launch on Google Cloud Marketplace faster.

The flow is: contract → invoice → collection → recognition. In marketplace sales, the cloud provider becomes the merchant of record. They invoice the customer against an existing cloud contract, they collect payment, they deduct the marketplace fee, and they disburse net revenue to you on a cadence they control. The flow is: contract → marketplace entitlement → metered usage → cloud invoice → cloud collection → net disbursement → your recognition. This changes three things for finance teams: - **Cash timing shifts** — you're paid 45-60 days after the customer pays the cloud - **Revenue visibility becomes indirect** — you see disbursements, not customer invoices - **Reconciliation becomes critical** — the gap between what your product metered and what the cloud disbursed is where revenue gets lost Every finance team building marketplace billing infrastructure has to solve for these three shifts explicitly. ## The transaction flow, end to end A typical marketplace transaction follows this lifecycle: 1. **Private offer sent** — custom-priced agreement delivered to the buyer's cloud account 2. **Offer accepted** — buyer accepts in their marketplace console; entitlement is created 3. **Product provisioned** — your SaaS account gets created or associated, typically via API 4. **Usage occurs** — customer uses the product; for metered deals, your product reports consumption 5. **Cloud invoices customer** — the marketplace charges appear on the customer's regular cloud bill 6. **Customer pays cloud** — payment flows through their existing cloud contract 7. **Cloud deducts fee** — 3% marketplace fee (up to 5% on some AWS deals) is netted 8. **Cloud disburses to you** — net revenue arrives on a monthly cycle, typically 45-60 days after customer billing 9. **You reconcile** — match disbursement against expected revenue; recognize accordingly Each stage can fail or drift. A Cloud GTM platform handles the engineering and reporting layer so finance has clean disbursement data and metered usage both tied to CRM opportunities. ## Disbursement timing by cloud Cloud Disbursement frequency Typical lag AWS Monthly ~45 days after customer billing close Azure Monthly ~60 days after customer billing close GCP Monthly ~45-60 days after customer billing close Cash-flow modeling needs to reflect this lag. A marketplace deal closed in January with annual billing doesn't produce cash until March (AWS) or later. For high-growth ISVs, this shifts working-capital requirements meaningfully. ## Fee netting and reporting Each cloud deducts its marketplace fee from disbursements: - **AWS** — 3% base, up to 5% on some categories. ISV Accelerate qualifying deals drop to 1.5% - **Azure** — 3% on Transact offers - **GCP** — 3% base; Premier tier can qualify for reduced fees on co-sold deals Two accounting questions finance needs to answer: 1. **Gross vs net revenue recognition** — recognize the full customer-paid amount (gross) with the fee as a cost line, or recognize only net disbursement? Most GAAP-aligned ISVs recognize gross. Under ASC 606, this depends on principal vs agent analysis — consult your auditor. 2. **Fee variability** — on AWS, fees vary by category and deal type. Modeling expected fees per deal (based on deal type, co-sell status, tier) is important for forecasting. ## Revenue recognition policy for marketplace deals Establish a dedicated revenue recognition policy for marketplace transactions before volume forces ad-hoc decisions. Key policy elements: - **Trigger for recognition** — service delivery (usage, time), not cash receipt. A paid marketplace annual subscription recognizes ratably over the service period. - **Timing of recognition start** — typically offer-acceptance date (when customer contractually commits) or provisioning date (when service begins), depending on performance obligation wording. - **Gross vs net** — documented with principal vs agent reasoning per ASC 606. - **Fee accounting** — marketplace fees as cost of revenue (gross recognition) or netted against revenue (net recognition). - **Refunds and cancellations** — how mid-term cancellations unwind; how partial refunds reconcile with already-recognized revenue. - **Multi-year deals** — treatment of upfront vs ratable payment schedules, deferred revenue balances. Document the policy, get auditor sign-off, and train RevOps + finance on execution. ## Metering integration — the hidden risk For usage-based products, metering is where revenue either lands safely or gets lost forever. Each cloud has its own metering API: - **AWS Marketplace Metering Service** — hourly usage submission with retries; customer billed based on your reports - **Azure Marketplace Metered Billing API** — usage events submitted within 24 hours; stricter dimension governance - **GCP Service Control / Procurement API** — usage reported per Service Control quota Three architectural requirements for metering reliability: 1. **Durable event pipeline** — usage events go to a durable queue before submission, not directly to the cloud API. If the API is down, events don't drop. 2. **Retries with exponential backoff** — transient API failures should retry automatically. Persistent failures should alert on-call. 3. **Monitoring and dead-letter queues** — submission failures route to DLQ. Monitor DLQ depth and investigate non-zero values fast. The cost of a silent metering failure is permanent lost revenue. This is not a layer to cut corners on. [Suger's metering infrastructure](/platform/billing-metering/) handles all three clouds with built-in durability, retries, and reconciliation. ## The reconciliation workflow Reconciliation compares three data sources each month: 1. **Metered usage** — what your product reported to the cloud's metering API 2. **Cloud disbursement report** — what the cloud actually billed the customer and paid out to you 3. **CRM contract data** — what the original private offer or subscription terms said should happen Mismatches fall into three categories: - **Metering vs disbursement** — you reported X, cloud billed Y. Root cause: delayed usage events, cloud-side timing differences, or genuine data loss. - **Disbursement vs contract** — cloud paid different amount than contract should have generated. Root cause: rate changes, customer refunds, cross-period adjustments. - **Contract vs metering** — contract says one rate, metered usage shows another. Root cause: pricing misconfiguration, wrong SKU selected, plan mismatch. Investigate every mismatch. Most small drifts compound — ignoring $500 discrepancies for 12 months turns into $6K+ unrecovered revenue. ## Finance team setup for marketplace billing At $100K marketplace ARR, one RevOps person can manage reconciliation manually. At $1M+, specialization becomes necessary. Typical ownership model at scale: - **RevOps / Deal Desk** — owns the reconciliation workflow, CRM contract data, and private offer configuration - **Finance (Controller)** — owns the revenue recognition policy, GL postings, and monthly/quarterly close - **Engineering** — owns metering pipeline reliability, monitoring, and cloud API integrations - **Marketplace Operations** (at scale) — a dedicated role that sits between RevOps and Finance, managing day-to-day disbursement tracking and multi-cloud reconciliation Without clear ownership, issues fall through the cracks. Name a DRI for each function. ## Common billing mistakes ### 1\. No dedicated rev rec policy Finance treats marketplace the same as direct sales, misses principal/agent considerations, and gets audit findings later. ### 2\. Metering without monitoring Silent failures accumulate unrecoverable revenue loss. Instrument first, launch second. ### 3\. Ignoring disbursement lag in cash-flow models Treating marketplace cash as if it arrived on deal-close date breaks working capital planning. ### 4\. Reconciliation only at year-end Year-end reconciliation of 12 months of discrepancies across three clouds is a nightmare. Do it monthly. ### 5\. Fragmented data across clouds Manually aggregating AWS, Azure, and GCP disbursement reports in spreadsheets doesn't scale past 50 deals. Use a unified platform. ## Frequently asked questions How is marketplace billing different from direct billing? + The cloud provider becomes the merchant of record. They invoice the customer, collect payment, deduct the marketplace fee (typically 3%), and disburse net revenue to the ISV on a monthly cycle. The ISV no longer owns invoicing or collections for marketplace transactions. How long after a marketplace sale do I get paid? + Disbursement typically arrives 45-60 days after the customer billing cycle closes. AWS is fastest (~45 days), Azure and GCP run closer to 60. Cash-flow modeling needs to account for this delay versus direct collections. How does revenue recognition work for marketplace deals? + Recognize revenue based on performance (service delivered), not cash receipt. For annual subscriptions with upfront payment, recognize ratably over the contract period. For usage-based products, recognize as the customer consumes. The marketplace fee is a cost of distribution, typically netted against revenue. Do I recognize gross or net revenue? + Most GAAP-aligned ISVs recognize gross revenue (the full amount the customer paid) and report the marketplace fee as a separate cost of revenue line. Some adopt net reporting under ASC 606 if the cloud provider is deemed the principal in the arrangement. Your auditor makes the final call. How does usage metering reconcile with billing? + Your product reports usage events (API calls, data processed, active users) to the cloud's metering API. The cloud invoices the customer based on those events and disburses revenue to you. Reconciliation means comparing metered usage (what you reported) against disbursement (what you got paid for) — mismatches indicate lost revenue or data errors. What happens if metering fails? + Unreported usage = zero billing. If your metering pipeline drops events silently, the cloud invoices the customer nothing for that period and you lose the revenue permanently. Monitoring, retries, and dead-letter queues are non-negotiable. Who owns marketplace billing internally? + RevOps defines the policy and maintains the reconciliation workflow. Finance handles revenue recognition and disbursement tracking. Engineering builds and monitors metering. Without clear ownership — one named person per function — issues fall through cracks. ## Reconcile marketplace revenue without the spreadsheets. Suger automates metering, disbursement tracking, and reconciliation across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Snowflake — with native integrations for Stripe, Orb, Metronome, and ERP systems.

It is not "AI features for the sake of AI." The marketplace lifecycle — listing, private offers, co-sell registration, funding eligibility checks, billing reconciliation — is full of repetitive, schema-heavy, cross-system work that maps cleanly to what current AI does well: extract data from unstructured sources, infer correct field mappings, classify eligibility, and answer questions over structured records. Suger packages this into four production features: - **Suger Co-Pilot** — conversational analytics, deal intelligence, and agentic workflows across marketplace and CRM data - **AI Auto-Fill** — automated population of listing fields and private offer details from existing sources - **AI Field Mapping** — intelligent mapping between CRM custom fields and marketplace / co-sell schemas - **Funding Co-Pilot** — surfacing cloud-provider funding eligibility and managing requests end-to-end All four ship today, run across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and are available on Suger Enterprise plans. ## Why AI matters for Cloud GTM operators Cloud GTM teams spend a disproportionate share of their time on operational glue work: re-entering CRM data into marketplace consoles, looking up funding program rules, mapping fields across systems that don't share schemas, and answering the same questions ("what's my AWS pipeline this quarter?") over and over. Three dynamics make this acute: **Schema mismatch is structural.** Salesforce stores opportunities one way, AWS ACE stores them another, Azure Partner Center another, Google PSC another. Custom fields on the CRM side rarely match cloud co-sell fields one-to-one. The mismatch produces hours of manual re-entry per deal or, worse, errors that get the co-sell opportunity rejected. **Funding programs are documented, not productized.** AWS alone runs more than half a dozen funding programs (MAP, MDF, POC, ProServe, GenAI, MPOPP). Each has eligibility rules buried in Partner Central documentation. Teams either dedicate someone to memorizing the rules, or they miss funding they qualify for. **Reporting questions are repetitive.** The same five questions about marketplace ARR, deal velocity, top accounts, and pipeline coverage get asked weekly. Building each as a saved dashboard works until the question changes slightly — at which point the dashboard has to be rebuilt. AI doesn't replace the operational layer. It removes the friction inside each step so the operators can spend their time on judgment work — pricing strategy, partner relationships, deal structure — rather than data entry. ## Suger Co-Pilot Suger Co-Pilot is a conversational AI assistant embedded in the Suger console and inside Salesforce. It runs on the user's marketplace and CRM data and answers natural-language questions about it. **What Co-Pilot does today:** - Answers analytical questions across AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplace data — revenue trends, top customers, deal velocity, offer pipeline, co-sell win rates - Surfaces proactive recommendations — offers about to expire, opportunities eligible for funding, accounts with active committed spend - Generates ad-hoc dashboards from natural-language prompts - Drafts private offers from closed-won CRM opportunities, pre-filled with CPQ data **AWS Partner Central Agents** are a specialized Co-Pilot capability that operates on co-sell opportunities specifically. The agent surfaces, for a given opportunity, the eligibility status across AWS funding programs, the recommended next steps based on opportunity stage, gaps that block eligibility, and the contextual rules from Partner Central. The user does not navigate documentation — the agent brings the relevant guidance into the opportunity record. Co-Pilot is available inside the Suger console and as a Salesforce-embedded experience for users who live in their CRM. ## AI Auto-Fill AI Auto-Fill is the feature that gets companies live on a marketplace faster. Listing a product on AWS Marketplace requires roughly 60-80 fields of structured data: product description, key benefits, categorization, supported regions, technical specifications, support information, and more. Filling them manually is a multi-day exercise. **How Auto-Fill works for listings:** 1. Point Auto-Fill at your product website URL (or upload supporting documents) 2. Suger AI extracts descriptions, key benefits, categorization, and supporting content 3. The extracted data populates the AWS, Azure, or GCP listing template automatically 4. Marketing and product review the draft, edit as needed, and submit on their own cadence Customers report Auto-Fill captures roughly 80% of required fields accurately on the first pass, with the remaining 20% requiring light edits. **Auto-Fill for private offers** works on the same principle, applied to deal data. When a rep clicks "create private offer" from a Salesforce opportunity, Auto-Fill pre-populates pricing, terms, contract length, buyer entity, and payment schedule from the CPQ quote and CRM opportunity record. The rep reviews and publishes — typically in minutes rather than the 24-48 hours that manual offer construction takes. The Auto-Fill capability is covered in deeper detail in the [product listing](/platform/product-listing/) and [private offers](/platform/private-offers/) platform pages. ## AI Field Mapping AI Field Mapping is the layer that connects CRM fields to marketplace and co-sell system fields. The problem it solves is unglamorous but persistent: Salesforce, HubSpot, AWS ACE, Azure Partner Center, and Google PSC all have their own schemas, and custom fields on the CRM side rarely line up one-to-one with cloud co-sell fields. Without AI Field Mapping, this work is done in spreadsheets — every deal, every quarter, every schema update. **What Field Mapping AI handles:** - Inferring the correct mapping between Salesforce/HubSpot custom fields and ACE/Partner Center/PSC fields based on field semantics, not just names - Edge cases: multi-currency pricing, multi-tier deal structures, regional variants, multi-product opportunities - Keeping mappings in sync as schemas change on either side - Standardizing data formats (date conventions, currency, buyer-entity naming) so co-sell submissions don't get rejected for formatting The downstream effect: one-click co-sell deal registration from the CRM, one-click private offer creation from CRM opportunities, and consistent data quality across the partner-sales lifecycle. Reps don't reformat spreadsheets, and ops doesn't field "why was my deal rejected?" tickets. This is the AI feature that disappears into the workflow once it's set up. Most users don't think about Field Mapping AI — they just notice that referrals and offers go out cleanly the first time. ## Funding Co-Pilot Funding Co-Pilot is the newest AI feature in Suger, and it solves a problem most Cloud GTM teams have been wrestling with manually: which of their opportunities qualify for which cloud-provider funding programs. AWS alone offers six-plus funding programs: - **MAP** (Migration Acceleration Program) — funding for customer migration projects - **MDF** (Market Development Funds) — co-marketing investment - **POC** funding — credits for customer proof-of-concept deployments - **ProServe** credits — professional services investment - **GenAI** funding — newer programs supporting AI workload migration and innovation - **MPOPP** — Marketplace Private Offer Promo Program Each has its own eligibility rules, application process, and claim/reimbursement workflow. Before Funding Co-Pilot, sales and partnerships teams either kept spreadsheets of the rules (which go stale), navigated Partner Central documentation deal-by-deal (which is slow), or simply missed funding they qualified for. **What Funding Co-Pilot does:** - Surfaces eligible programs automatically on each opportunity in the CRM - Shows the gap to eligibility when an opportunity is close but not quite qualifying - Drafts the funding request with the deal context pre-filled - Tracks requests end-to-end: submitted, approved, claimed, reimbursed - Surfaces deadlines and renewal triggers for active funding commitments Today Funding Co-Pilot focuses on AWS funding programs. Microsoft (ECIF) and Google Cloud (Investment / Partner Engagement Funding) program support is on the roadmap. ## Deep dives The four AI features above each have their own detailed walkthrough — what the feature does in the product, how the underlying flow works, and where it stops.

Three principles drive how Suger builds AI: **No training on customer data.** Suger uses leading enterprise foundation models from established providers under terms that prohibit training, fine-tuning, or retention beyond the inference call. Customer marketplace data, CRM data, and prompts are not used to improve any model. **Strict tenant isolation.** Suger operates as a multi-tenant SaaS with strict data isolation between customer environments. AI features access only the data the customer's connected credentials have scope for. No cross-tenant data leakage is possible by construction. **Human-in-the-loop for material actions.** AI features draft, surface, and recommend. They do not autonomously publish listings, accept offers, or submit funding requests. Every material action surfaces a draft for review before submission. The user is the decision-maker; AI is the accelerant. Suger's underlying infrastructure is SOC 2-aligned. For broader detail on Suger's security and compliance posture, see [cloud marketplace security & compliance](/resources/security/). ## Getting started with Suger AI All four AI features ship on Suger Enterprise plans and run across AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, and Alibaba Cloud marketplaces (with Funding Co-Pilot initially focused on AWS programs). The fastest way to evaluate fit is a working session with the Suger team where the AI features run against a sample of your real marketplace and CRM data. Field Mapping AI and Auto-Fill are particularly easy to see in action because the value is immediately visible — listings populated from a URL, offers drafted from CRM opportunities, co-sell fields mapped correctly the first time. If you'd like to see Suger AI in action against your environment, [schedule a demo](/schedule-demo/) or explore the [platform overview](/platform/). For the strategic context underneath these features, the [Cloud GTM pillar guide](/resources/guides/cloud-gtm/) covers the broader operational picture, and the [Cloud GTM Sales playbook](/resources/guides/cloud-gtm-sales/) covers how reps use these features day-to-day. ## Frequently asked questions What is AI for cloud marketplace automation? + AI for cloud marketplace automation is the use of large language models, structured-data extraction, and intelligent agents to automate the repetitive operational work of selling on AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces. Common applications include listing field population, CRM-to-marketplace field mapping, co-sell deal enrichment, funding eligibility checks, and conversational analytics over marketplace data. How does Suger's AI Co-Pilot work? + Suger Co-Pilot is a conversational assistant embedded in the Suger console and Salesforce. Reps and ops users ask natural-language questions — revenue trends, top performers, deal status, offer pipeline — and Co-Pilot returns structured answers drawn from the user's marketplace and CRM data. It also surfaces proactive recommendations: opportunities eligible for co-sell funding, offers near expiration, and accounts with active committed spend. What is AI Auto-Fill? + AI Auto-Fill populates marketplace listing and private offer fields automatically from existing data. For listings, point Auto-Fill at your product URL and it extracts descriptions, key benefits, categorization, and supporting content into the AWS, Azure, or GCP listing template. For private offers, it auto-fills pricing, terms, and buyer details from CPQ quotes or CRM opportunities, reducing manual data entry by approximately 80%. What is AI Field Mapping? + AI Field Mapping is the intelligent layer that connects CRM fields to marketplace and co-sell system fields. Salesforce custom fields, HubSpot properties, and cloud co-sell fields rarely match one-to-one. Field Mapping AI infers the correct mapping, handles edge cases (multi-currency, multi-tier pricing, regional variants), and keeps data in sync as schemas change. The result: one-click referral and offer creation from CRM without spreadsheet reformatting. What is the Funding Co-Pilot? + Funding Co-Pilot surfaces eligible cloud-provider funding programs — AWS MAP, MDF, POC, GenAI funding, MPOPP — automatically on opportunities that qualify. It eliminates the need for sales and partnerships teams to navigate Partner Central documentation or maintain spreadsheets of program rules. Funding requests, approvals, claims, and reimbursements track end-to-end inside Suger and the connected CRM. Which AI features does Suger ship today? + Four production AI features: Suger Co-Pilot (conversational analytics + agents), AI Auto-Fill (listing and offer field population), AI Field Mapping (CRM ↔ marketplace data sync), and Funding Co-Pilot (eligibility surfacing and workflow). All four are available on Enterprise plans and run across AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces. Does Suger train its AI models on customer data? + No. Suger uses leading foundation models from established providers under enterprise terms that prohibit training on customer data. Customer marketplace data, CRM data, and prompts are not used to train or fine-tune any model. Suger operates as a multi-tenant SaaS with strict data isolation between customer environments. Where does Suger AI run — in my account or in Suger's? + AI inference runs in Suger's environment using enterprise model providers. The customer's marketplace and CRM data is processed inside Suger's SOC 2-aligned infrastructure, accessed only with the credentials and scopes the customer has connected. No data is persisted with model providers beyond the inference call. Which CRMs do the AI features support? + Salesforce and HubSpot are the primary CRM integrations. AI Field Mapping, AI Auto-Fill for offers, and Funding Co-Pilot all operate inside Salesforce and HubSpot workflows. The Suger Co-Pilot is available in the Suger console and as a Salesforce-embedded experience. Do the AI features support multi-cloud marketplaces? + Yes. AI Auto-Fill, AI Field Mapping, and the Co-Pilot operate across AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Marketplace (Azure), Google Cloud Marketplace, Snowflake Marketplace, and Alibaba Cloud Marketplace. Funding Co-Pilot today focuses on AWS funding programs, with additional cloud-provider funding programs on the roadmap. What kinds of questions can I ask Suger Co-Pilot? + Operational questions across marketplace and CRM data: 'What's my AWS Marketplace ARR this quarter?', 'Which offers expire in the next 14 days?', 'Show me top customers by Azure consumption,' or 'Which opportunities are eligible for AWS MAP funding?' Co-Pilot can also generate dashboards and trigger workflows — for example, drafting a private offer from a closed-won opportunity. How does AI Auto-Fill handle accuracy for listings? + Auto-Fill extracts and populates fields, then surfaces the draft for human review before submission. Listings are pre-filled, not auto-published. Marketing and product teams review, edit, and submit on their own cadence. Most customers report Auto-Fill captures 80%+ of required fields accurately from a product URL, with the remaining 20% requiring light edits. ## See Suger AI in action.

The Suger AI co-sell diagnose skill mirrors the offer diagnose flow: open a failed referral, get a plain-English explanation in the chat panel, click _Open Edit Dialog_ to resubmit with the fix in place. This guide covers what the skill catches per cloud, the resubmit flow, and the engagement-score pipeline that flags risky referrals before they fail. ![Suger AI chat panel auto-open on a failed AWS ACE referral, explaining a customer-record mismatch and surfacing an "Open Edit Dialog" button to re-submit](/images/guides/ai-diagnose-cosell-failures/hero.gif) * * * ## **How the flow works** When a co-sell referral’s status is `CREATE_FAILED` or `UPDATE_FAILED` with a non-empty error message array, Suger AI’s chat panel auto-opens on the referral detail page. The agent reads the error stack, matches it against the cloud-specific diagnosis skill, and returns: 1. A one-paragraph explanation of _why_ the referral was rejected. 2. The specific fields that need to change. 3. An _Open Edit Dialog_ action that opens the referral edit dialog with the corrections pre-filled, ready for resubmit. You can also open the chat manually from the _AI Diagnose_ button in the referral detail header — useful when you want to re-run the analysis after an external change (a CRM update, a customer enrollment). * * * ## **Why co-sell referrals fail** Each cloud has its own submission shape. The diagnose skill knows them: **AWS ACE** - Opportunity not enrolled — the AWS opportunity ID exists but isn’t enrolled in your partner program tier. - Customer record mismatch — the customer account in your CRM doesn’t match an AWS-side account; ACE requires a linked account. - Expected monthly revenue out of range — too high for the program tier or zero. - Stage skip — you’re trying to submit at a stage that requires earlier stages first. - Customer company name format — special characters or missing fields. **Azure Deal Registration** - Deal Reg schema mismatch — Azure’s Deal Reg API uses a different schema than offer submission; field names differ. - Solution area / industry — Azure picklists are stricter than AWS; CRM values often don’t map cleanly. - Customer tenancy — customer’s Azure AD tenant ID is required for some deal types. - Close date constraints — must be future, within a program-defined window. **GCP** - Coil eligibility — opportunity doesn’t meet GCP’s coil (Co-sell Influence) criteria. - Partner advantage tier — referral type requires a tier the seller doesn’t have. - Customer GCP entity — customer’s GCP organization ID is required and was missing. For each, the AI returns the user-friendly version: not “schema validation error 4002” but “Azure rejected this because the industry picklist value ‘Healthcare & Life Sciences’ isn’t in their accepted list — try ‘Healthcare’ instead.” ![Three-up of an AWS ACE, Azure Deal Reg, and GCP referral, each showing Suger AI's diagnose chat panel with the cloud-appropriate explanation](/images/guides/ai-diagnose-cosell-failures/cloud-coverage.png) * * * ## **The resubmit flow** After the chat panel diagnoses the failure, _Open Edit Dialog_ drops you into the referral edit dialog with the proposed corrections staged. You review, adjust if needed, and click _Resubmit_. Suger handles the partner-side API call. Two things to know about this flow: - The chat panel **stays open** during the edit — useful if you want to re-ask _“is this what you meant?”_ before saving. - If the resubmit fails again, the agent re-diagnoses against the new error and updates its recommendation. You’re not stuck repeating the cycle blind. * * * ## **The engagement-score pipeline** Beyond reactive diagnosis, Suger runs an AI engagement-scoring pipeline against open referrals. Every referral gets a score (Healthy / At Risk / Stuck) based on AWS, Azure, or GCP signals — stage age, recent partner activity, customer engagement, decision date proximity. The score isn’t an AI feature inside the chat — it’s a separate background pipeline that updates referral health on the co-sell list view and dashboard. Referrals trending toward _At Risk_ surface in the Actions tab of the Co-Sell Metrics Dashboard, so you can act before they fail rather than only after. Together, the two AI features form a before-and-after pairing: engagement score warns ahead of failure, diagnose unblocks after. Most teams configure the dashboard so the Actions tab surfaces both. * * * ## **What it can’t do** The same limits that apply to [offer diagnose](/resources/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures) apply here: - It can’t recover from cloud-side eventual consistency — IAM, account enrollment lag, AWS ACE backfill. - It can’t fix mismatched customer records when the customer in your CRM truly doesn’t exist on the cloud’s side — that’s an account-level setup task. - It won’t bluff fixes when the error is opaque or new; in those cases, it explains what it sees and recommends a support escalation. * * * ## **Try it** The co-sell diagnose skill is on for every Suger org with co-sell integration. The matching offer version is documented in the [offer diagnose guide](/resources/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures).

"Summarize with Perplexity") On this page - [How the diagnose flow works](#how-the-diagnose-flow-works) - [What it actually knows (AWS)](#what-it-actually-knows-aws) - [Cloud coverage](#cloud-coverage) - [Where it stops](#where-it-stops) - [Try it](#try-it) A private offer that fails to create on AWS, Azure, GCP, or Snowflake used to mean copying a cryptic error message into a Slack thread and waiting for the partnership manager to translate it. Suger AI’s offer diagnose skill replaces that loop. The moment you open a failed offer, the chat panel opens with the specific reason, the specific fix, and a button to edit the draft with the correction already staged. This guide covers what the diagnose skill knows, what it covers per cloud, and where it tops out. ![Suger AI chat panel auto-open on a failed offer detail page, diagnosing an AWS dimension key error, with an "Edit Draft" button ready to navigate the user to the corrected form](/images/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures/hero.gif) * * * ## **How the diagnose flow works** When an offer’s status is `CREATE_FAILED` and the error message array is non-empty, Suger AI auto-opens with the failure context already loaded. You don’t click anything to start the diagnosis — it’s there when you open the detail page. The agent: 1. Reads the offer’s error message stack and form data. 2. Matches the errors against a per-cloud diagnostic skill that knows the actual rules each marketplace enforces. 3. Returns a plain-English explanation of _why_ it failed and _what to change_. 4. Surfaces an _Edit Draft_ button that navigates you to the offer creation form with the proposed fix pre-staged. If you’d rather trigger it manually — or re-trigger after editing — there’s also an _AI Diagnose_ button in the offer detail header. ![Animated trigger flow on a failed Snowflake offer — closing the auto-opened AI panel, then clicking the sparkle icon in the top toolbar to re-open it; the panel slides back in with the same diagnosis](/images/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures/manual-trigger.gif) * * * ## **What it actually knows (AWS)** The AWS diagnostic skill covers sixteen distinct failure categories. Each category maps to a specific marketplace rule and a specific fix: Category Failure example What changes Buyer account format AWS account ID has 11 digits or includes hyphens Strip non-digits; pad to 12 Dimension key regex `data-units` fails AWS’s `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$` Replace hyphens with underscores Dimension key collision Two dimensions share the same key Rename one of them EULA validation Standard Contract for AWS Marketplace edits Restore standard EULA or upload custom CPPO resale IAM Missing `AWSServiceRoleForMarketplaceResaleAuthorization` Provision the service-linked role Contract duration 0 months or > 60 months Clamp to AWS allowed range Buyer account count More than 24 buyer accounts on one offer Split into multiple offers Commit cap More than 100 commits on one offer Restructure pricing Payment schedule Dates outside contract window Realign payment dates Agreement base CPPO created against the wrong base Recreate from the right agreement Currency mismatch Offer currency ≠ product currency Match to product Date format ISO dates malformed Reformat Required fields Missing customer email or company Fill missing fields Free trial conflict Free trial enabled on incompatible product Disable or change product Reseller config Reseller fields missing for resale type Add reseller details Generic AWS error Unmapped AWS-side error Suggest opening a support ticket The first eleven are “fixable by editing” — the AI’s recommendation goes into the draft via the _Edit Draft_ navigation. The last few are external: IAM permission propagation, ticket-required AWS-side issues. The agent will tell you when it can’t fix something, so you don’t spend time editing forms that won’t help. ![Annotated grid of the sixteen AWS failure categories grouped by "fixable by editing" versus "external" — each tile shows the trigger error pattern and the corresponding AI-recommended fix](/images/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures/failure-categories.png) * * * ## **Cloud coverage** The same skill exists for each major cloud, with cloud-specific rules baked in: - **AWS** — sixteen categories as above. - **Azure** — schema version handling (V1, V2, V3 plans behave differently), plan field shape (`plan` vs `basePlan`), absolute-vs-percentage discounts, flexible billing dates that must be unique. - **GCP** — partner-specific contract structure, pricing model validation. - **Snowflake** — listing constraints, ARR commit rules. ![Animated transition between a failed Snowflake offer and a failed Azure offer — each one auto-opens the AI panel with a cloud-specific diagnosis: Snowflake explains a Data Exchange listing type mismatch, Azure flags an external 401 from the product ingestion API](/images/guides/ai-diagnose-offer-failures/multi-cloud.gif) A single mental model — _failed offer → open detail → read AI explanation → click Edit Draft_ — works across all four. No retraining per cloud. * * * ## **Where it stops** The diagnose skill is sharp on errors that come from validation rules and form data. It’s less helpful on: - **Transient AWS / Azure / GCP failures** — service hiccups, eventual consistency on IAM role propagation. The agent will flag these as “wait and retry” rather than recommending edits. - **Account-level issues** — your seller account isn’t enabled for a feature, your buyer isn’t enrolled in a program. These need to be resolved at the cloud’s admin console, not in Suger. - **Custom contract terms** — if you’re using a heavily customized EULA, the AI may not have visibility into what AWS will accept. It will flag the area and recommend a manual review. In every “external” case, the chat panel says so explicitly — the agent doesn’t bluff fixes it can’t deliver. * * * ## **Try it** Suger AI’s diagnose skill is on by default for every customer. Open any failed offer in the Console and the chat opens with the diagnosis. The matching co-sell version — for failed AWS ACE, Azure Deal Reg, and GCP referrals — is documented in the [co-sell diagnose guide](/resources/guides/ai-diagnose-cosell-failures).

AI Opportunity Insights flips that around: on every AWS ACE referral in Suger, you see AI-generated guidance on health, risk, and next steps — directly from AWS’s own opportunity intelligence, served inside the Suger Console. This guide walks through where the insights live, what the three card types mean, and how the data flows under the hood. ![Suger ACE referral detail page with the AI Opportunity Insights panel on the right rail, showing a warning card, a main insight card, and three AI trigger buttons including "Help me progress this opportunity"](/images/guides/ai-opportunity-insights/hero.gif) * * * ## **Where to find them** Open any AWS ACE referral in the Suger Console (`/cosellv2/ace/`). The Insights panel sits on the right rail of the referral detail page, alongside partner contact info. It only appears for referrals that have an AWS opportunity ID — referrals still in draft don’t yet have anything to analyze. * * * ## **The three card types** The panel renders three different things, in a deliberate order. **Warning cards** come first. These are Suger-computed deterministic alerts — not AI — for things like stale stage, missing decision date, or low engagement. They’re the things a rules engine should flag, so we use a rules engine. **Main insight cards** are next. These are the AI-generated narrative — opportunity health, deal risk signals, recommended progression. Each card has an AWS badge to make the source obvious. They’re cached for 10 days so they don’t drift mid-quarter or change every time you reload. **Trigger cards** sit at the bottom. They’re one-click prompts: _Help me progress this opportunity_, _Prepare for launch_, _Get estimated funding_. Clicking a trigger opens the Suger AI chat side panel with the request pre-filled and the result streaming in. You can copy the response or keep chatting from there. ![Three-up composite of the warning card, main insight card, and trigger card with annotations explaining what generates each](/images/guides/ai-opportunity-insights/card-types.png) * * * ## **What data leaves Suger** Insights are powered by AWS’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, not by Suger’s own LLM. When a card is generated, Suger sends the AWS opportunity ID plus the associated customer company name, industry, stage, expected close date, monthly revenue, and pipeline details — all data already in ACE — to AWS’s MCP endpoint. AWS runs its model and returns the insight text. This matters for two reasons. First, the LLM analyzing your opportunity is AWS’s own — built on the same data they use internally for partner success — so the recommendations stay grounded in their definitions of health and stage progression. Second, no customer data crosses into a third-party model. * * * ## **How the trigger flow works** Clicking _Help me progress this opportunity_ (or any trigger) is the most useful affordance on the panel. It does three things: ![The trigger flow — user clicks "Help me progress this opportunity", Suger AI chat side panel slides open, AI-generated text streams in answering the prompt, "Copy message" button appears at the bottom](/images/guides/ai-opportunity-insights/trigger-flow.gif) 1. Opens the Suger AI chat side panel with the opportunity context already loaded. 2. Streams an AI-generated answer in real time — typically 100–300 words covering next-best actions, missing data, and progression risk. 3. Surfaces a _Copy message_ button so you can paste the guidance into Slack, email, or your CRM activity log. The chat stays open after the trigger completes. Follow-up questions (_“draft an email to the AWS rep”_, _“what funding programs is this eligible for?”_) work as conversation continuations. * * * ## **When to override the AI** Insights are guidance, not gospel. Two situations to override: - **You have non-public context.** A trigger might suggest reaching out to the AWS rep about a stuck deal when you already know the customer is mid-acquisition. Your context wins. - **The 10-day cache is stale.** Insights are cached for stability, not freshness. If you’ve just had a major shift on the deal — buyer changed, stage jumped, scope tripled — the cached insight may not reflect it. Take it with a grain of salt until the next refresh. * * * ## **What’s next** AI Opportunity Insights ships today for any Suger org with AWS ACE integration enabled.

The mapping is tedious and brittle, and the moment your CRM admin adds a new picklist value, something breaks. Suger’s AI Field Mapping replaces the manual mapping pass with an AI-generated draft you review. The deeper half is the prompt template system that lets you author your own AI-generated fields — “generate a business problem description from the opportunity notes,” “infer the country from the billing address,” “compute a close date plus 14 days.” This guide covers both halves. ![Suger Preview dialog for an AWS referral submission, with the Suger AI chat panel listing four proposed field fixes by exact field path, an Apply button below, then the form auto-populating with every tab turning green and the Submit button enabling](/images/guides/ai-field-mapping-prompts/hero.gif) * * * ## **The AI Auto Fill workflow** The AI Auto Fill kicks in the moment you preview a referral or offer for submission. When you open the Preview dialog from the co-sell list (via Bulk Share or an individual record’s share action), Suger AI reads the form, identifies missing or invalid fields, and proposes exact fixes — by field path, with example values. The flow: 1. **Preview** the referral or offer you’re about to share. The form opens with whatever mapped fields are already populated. 2. **The chat panel auto-analyses the form** and reports: _“I found 4 current form errors. Proposed fixes using the exact field keys from the form: …”_ 3. **Each suggestion is a field path + example value** — e.g. `Customer.Account.WebsiteUrl → fill with the customer website, for example https://testcompany.com`. 4. **Click _Apply_** in the chat. The AI populates every proposed field on the form at once. Tabs that were red turn green; the _Submit_ button becomes enabled. 5. **Review and Submit** when you’re satisfied. The AI is conservative — it proposes a value only when it can infer one safely from the source record or from a sensible default (postal codes from city/state, opportunity titles from account + use case, source from the marketing channel). When it doesn’t know, it leaves the field for you. * * * ## **Testing mappings before they go live** The Preview dialog _is_ the testing dialog. It runs a real CRM record through your live field mapping configuration and shows you the result — with every tab (Customer details, Project details, Additional details, Contact details, Partner Collaboration) showing green checkmarks if the mapping cleared validation, red errors if it didn’t. ![Field Mapping Preview dialog with tabs across the top — Customer details, Project details, Additional details, Contact details, Partner Collaboration — each showing checkmarks or error counts, with the underlying form populated from a real CRM record](/images/guides/ai-field-mapping-prompts/testing-dialog.gif) This is the fastest way to catch the edge cases the AI missed — a picklist value that exists in the CRM but isn’t in the AI’s training data, a custom field with an unexpected shape, a date format that loses a day to timezone drift. Step through the tabs, fix what needs fixing, and only then click _Submit_. * * * ## **Prompt templates: the deeper half** Beyond mapping source-to-target, Suger lets you author **prompt templates** that generate field values from other fields. This is the _AI Generate_ filler — one of four mapping modes alongside _Direct_, _Expression_, and _Default Value_. A prompt template is a small piece of text with variable interpolation. Here’s a real one for AWS’s “Customer Business Problem” field: ``` Generate a business problem description for {{.Account.Name}} in the {{.Account.Industry}} industry. Base it on the opportunity notes below and the customer's stage in the pipeline. Keep it under 200 words, write in third person, and focus on the technical or operational challenge being solved. Opportunity notes: {{.Opportunity.Description}} Stage: {{.Opportunity.StageName}} ``` At sync time, the template is filled in with the actual record values and sent to the AI. The AI’s response is written into the target field. ![Animated prompt template editor inside the AWS-HubSpot field mapping config — clicking into the Customer Business Problem field and typing additional {{.deals.dealname}} and {{.deals.description}} variable references; the AI Generate sparkle icon stays green to signal the field is bound to a prompt template instead of a direct mapping](/images/guides/ai-field-mapping-prompts/prompt-template.gif) * * * ## **Template syntax** Templates use Go’s standard template language, plus the Sprig function library, plus a few Suger-specific helpers. **Field references.** Source fields are accessible as `{{.}}`. Examples: - `{{.Account.Name}}` — the account name on the source CRM record - `{{.Opportunity.CloseDate}}` — the opportunity’s close date - `{{.Account.Industry}}` — the industry picklist value **Sprig functions** (the [Sprig library](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/) of helpers): - `{{.Account.Name | upper}}` — uppercase - `{{.Opportunity.Amount | float64 | mul 1.1}}` — bump by 10% - `{{.Account.Country | default "US"}}` — fallback when empty **Suger custom functions**: - `{{dateFormat "2006-01-02" .Opportunity.CloseDate}}` — format a date to ISO - `{{salesforceQuery "SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Id = ?" .Account.ParentId}}` — query Salesforce mid-template - `{{addDays .Opportunity.CloseDate 14}}` — compute close date plus 14 days * * * ## **Five best practices for prompt templates** 1. **Be specific about format.** “Generate a description” produces variable output. “Write three sentences, no bullet points, in third person, under 200 words” produces predictable output. The cloud marketplaces have hard limits on every text field — write to the limit. 2. **Cap length explicitly.** AWS’s Customer Business Problem field caps at 1500 characters. Tell the AI so. The token-count and the character-count don’t always line up; explicit caps prevent rejections. 3. **Inject the fallback.** End every template with _“If you don’t have enough data, return ‘See opportunity notes.’”_ The AI sometimes confabulates from thin context; an escape hatch keeps it grounded. 4. **Keep source JSON under the budget.** Suger limits source JSON to 100KB per field generation to keep token costs predictable. If your template references a sprawling object, pre-filter via expressions — `{{.Opportunity.Notes | trunc 5000}}` — to stay under the cap. 5. **Test against real records, not synthetic ones.** Your “happy path” record passes everything. Pick the messy real-world opportunity — the one with a 12-paragraph note field, the one with a missing close date, the one where the AE used the picklist wrong — and run that through the Test Mapping dialog. Templates that survive the messy record are the ones that hold up in production sync. * * * ## **What’s running underneath** The AI Generate filler calls the same AI service that powers Suger AI’s chat — same model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet by default), same infrastructure. The system prompt is fixed to ensure deterministic behavior across orgs: “You are a data-formatting assistant. Generate the requested field value based on the provided source data and instructions. Output only the field value, no preamble.” That’s why your template can stay focused on the transformation — the system layer handles the discipline. The full mapping engine is Go-based and lives in the marketplace service; the AI invocation is a single network call per field per record sync. Field mappings configured once apply to every record sync from that integration going forward — set it and forget it. * * * ## **What’s next** AI Field Mapping ships for every Suger customer with CRM integrations.

Product listing ## Sync published Alibaba Cloud products into Suger 02 Suger syncs the products you have published on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace so they are managed alongside your listings on every other marketplace. A China-region SaaS product and an AWS listing end up in the same product view instead of two separate consoles.

Pricing and offers ## Import pricing dimensions straight from the listing 03 A pricing dimension is a single metered or subscribed unit a buyer is charged for. Suger imports the pricing dimensions defined on your Alibaba Cloud listing rather than making you retype them, and supports commit options when a deal needs a committed amount. Key Features - Pricing dimensions imported from the published listing - Commit options supported on Alibaba Cloud offers - No re-keying pricing between the marketplace and Suger [Read the Alibaba Cloud pricing and offers guide →](https://doc.suger.io/alibaba-marketplace/pricing-and-offers/) Imported pricing dimensions From listing Compute hours dim\_compute\_hr Data processed (GB) dim\_data\_gb Active seats dim\_seats Commit option Supported on the offer Entitlements ## Entitlements created automatically when buyers subscribe 04 An entitlement is the record of what a buyer bought and may use. On Alibaba Cloud Marketplace, Suger creates the entitlement automatically the moment a buyer subscribes, then tracks the subscription lifecycle by syncing marketplace events — so the record stays right without anyone updating it by hand.

Explore Oracle Cloud Marketplace](/solutions/oracle-marketplace/) Questions ## Alibaba Cloud Marketplace questions Does Suger support both the China and international Alibaba Cloud marketplaces? + Yes. The Alibaba Cloud Marketplace integration supports the China (domestic) region and the international region, and both are managed through the same Suger integration rather than two separate processes. What can I sell on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace through Suger? + SaaS products. Suger syncs the SaaS products you have published on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace so they are managed centrally, alongside your listings on the other marketplaces Suger supports. How does pricing work for Alibaba Cloud Marketplace offers? + Suger imports the pricing dimensions already defined on your Alibaba Cloud listing, so nothing is retyped. Commit options are supported when a deal needs the buyer to commit to an amount. How are Alibaba Cloud Marketplace entitlements created? + Automatically. When a buyer subscribes on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace, Suger creates the entitlement, then tracks the subscription lifecycle by syncing marketplace events so the record stays current without manual updates. Can I bill Alibaba Cloud buyers for consumption? + Yes. Suger reports metered usage back to Alibaba Cloud Marketplace against the pricing dimensions imported from your listing, so buyers are billed for what they actually consumed. Do I need to publish my product on Alibaba Cloud before connecting Suger? + Yes. Suger syncs products that are already published on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace. Publish first, then connect the integration and the product is imported into Suger for pricing, entitlement, and metering work. Does Suger automate co-sell on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace? + No. Suger automates co-sell for the three hyperscalers with a full co-sell program — AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud. Alibaba Cloud support covers integration, listing sync, pricing and offers, entitlements, and usage metering. Can I run Alibaba Cloud next to the marketplaces I already sell on? + Yes. Suger lists and transacts on six marketplaces — AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle — from one console and one API, so adding Alibaba Cloud does not add a second operating model. ## Ready to sell on Alibaba Cloud in China and internationally?

Customer Stories ## Trusted by partnership leaders ![Harness](/home/partners/harness.svg) > “Suger has been a transformative platform for our teams at Harness. It's drastically reduced manual overhead, streamlined workflows, and allowed us to scale our cloud partnerships with ease.” [Morgan Joscelyn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganjoscelyn/) Senior Director, Global Cloud Alliances, Harness ![Morgan Joscelyn](/solutions/quotes/morgan-joscelyn.jpeg) Available on Growth & Enterprise plans — [View Pricing →](/pricing/) Questions ## Frequently asked questions What is cloud co-selling and how does Suger help? + Cloud co-selling is the joint go-to-market motion between an ISV and a hyperscaler's field sales team — sharing qualified opportunities through programs like AWS ACE, Microsoft Partner Center, and Google Partner Sales Console. Suger automates co-sell submission and keeps every opportunity in sync between your CRM and each cloud, so alliances teams scale partner-sourced pipeline without manual re-entry. Which cloud marketplaces and co-sell programs does Suger support? + Suger supports the AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Snowflake marketplaces, plus their co-sell programs — AWS ISV Accelerate (ACE), Microsoft commercial marketplace and IP co-sell (Partner Center), and Google Cloud Partner Advantage (Partner Sales Console). You manage listings, private offers, co-sell, metering, and funding for all of them from one platform. How does Suger prove partnerships ROI? + Suger links co-sell referrals to the marketplace deals they influence and syncs offers, entitlements, and revenue back to Salesforce as native objects. Alliances leaders get leadership-ready dashboards that attribute pipeline and closed revenue to each program — not just activity metrics. Can alliances teams submit hyperscaler funding through Suger? + Yes. Suger surfaces which funding programs each opportunity qualifies for (such as POC and MDF), lets you submit requests directly from Salesforce pre-filled with deal context, and tracks approval status with a full audit trail. Does Suger integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot? + Yes. Suger provides a native Salesforce managed package and a native HubSpot integration, so private offers, co-sell, and revenue data live in the CRM your team already uses, with bi-directional sync to each cloud. How fast can we launch cloud marketplace listings? + Most ISVs go live in days, not months.

Channel & Alliances Lead, mid-market ISV · AWS ISV Accelerate 3x deal volume on AWS 140% larger contract values 5–10 business days to first listing live Questions ## Frequently asked questions How do I list a SaaS product on AWS Marketplace? + Listing a SaaS product on AWS Marketplace requires integrating with AWS's metering and billing APIs, configuring your pricing model, creating a compliant product listing, and setting up a buyer registration flow. Suger automates this entire process with AI-assisted listing creation, pre-built API integrations, and built-in compliance checks. Most ISVs go live in 5–10 business days versus the typical multi-week direct-build timeline. What is AWS ACE and how does Suger help with co-sell? + AWS Customer Engagement (ACE) is AWS's co-sell platform where ISVs share opportunities with AWS field sellers for joint selling. Suger connects ACE bi-directionally to Salesforce and HubSpot: opportunities auto-share on your criteria, inbound AWS referrals auto-accept into the CRM, contacts and accounts are AI-enriched, and stage updates flow both directions without manual re-entry. Can I create AWS Marketplace private offers from Salesforce? + Yes. Suger's native Salesforce managed package lets your deal desk create standard private offers, agreement-based offers (ABOs), and channel partner private offers (CPPOs) directly from a Salesforce opportunity. Offer fields auto-populate from the opportunity record. Internal approval workflows run before anything is submitted to AWS Marketplace. What is a CPPO on AWS Marketplace? + A Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) is an AWS Marketplace transaction where an authorized reseller transacts on behalf of the buyer. The ISV extends a margin to the partner and the partner owns the billing relationship. CPPOs are common in regulated industries, public sector, and accounts with existing channel relationships. Suger manages the full CPPO lifecycle — resale authorizations, markup configuration, custom payment schedules, and partner notifications. How does Suger automate AWS Marketplace metering and billing? + Suger integrates directly with the AWS Marketplace Metering Service and also connects third-party billing systems (Stripe, Metronome, Orb, Lago). Usage data is normalized across sources and reported to AWS accurately. Disbursements are auto-matched to your CRM opportunities and pushed to NetSuite, QuickBooks, or your data warehouse for clean revenue recognition. What AWS partner funding programs can I apply for through Suger? + AWS offers POC funding, MDF (Market Development Funds), MAP (Migration Acceleration Program), ProServe credits, GenAI funding, and MPOPP (Marketplace Private Offer Promo Program). Suger's Funding Co-Pilot surfaces which programs each opportunity qualifies for, submits requests from Salesforce pre-filled with deal context, and tracks approval, claim, and reimbursement status end-to-end. Does Suger work with the AWS ISV Accelerate program? + Yes. Suger is an AWS Marketplace and ACE-integrated partner, and its workflows fully support the ISV Accelerate program requirements: marketplace transactability, co-sell engagement through ACE, and reporting that maps to AWS's partner-tier criteria. Customers using Suger have seen accelerated path to ISV Accelerate tier benefits. How long does it take to launch on AWS Marketplace with Suger? + Most ISVs go live in 5–10 business days. The timeline depends on pricing model complexity and any custom buyer-flow requirements, but Suger's AI-assisted listing creation, pre-built metering integration, and automated compliance checks compress what is typically a weeks-to-months process. Do I need engineering resources to integrate with AWS Marketplace? + Minimal. Suger handles the marketplace integration layer — authentication, metering APIs, billing, offer management — so your engineering team stays focused on your product. For standard SaaS listings, engineering involvement is usually limited to initial webhook configuration. For AMI and container listings, slightly more setup is required but Suger provides templates and guided onboarding. How does pricing work for selling on AWS Marketplace through Suger? + AWS charges a marketplace transaction fee (typically 2-3%, varying by program tier and listing type). Suger's platform pricing is separate and based on the volume and modules you use — see our pricing page for details. Buyers pay AWS, AWS disburses to the seller minus the transaction fee, and Suger reconciles the flow into your finance systems. How does Suger compare to Tackle for AWS Marketplace? + Suger and Tackle both serve the AWS Marketplace ISV market. Suger differentiates on full-lifecycle coverage — listing through revenue recognition — and on multi-cloud breadth across six marketplaces (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle). Suger also embeds deeper into Salesforce and HubSpot for CRM-native deal execution. For a detailed feature-by-feature comparison, see our Cloud GTM guide. What customers are selling on AWS Marketplace with Suger? + 250+ ISVs use Suger for AWS Marketplace operations, including Intel, Snowflake, Notion, Webflow, Fivetran, Glean, Fireblocks, and Harness. Customer outcomes consistently include 3x increase in marketplace deal volume and 140% higher average contract values versus direct deals. ## Ready to sell on AWS Marketplace end-to-end?

Suger runs that motion inside your existing CRM and approval workflows, so marketplace deals are governed the same way as direct deals. Can I create AWS, Azure, and GCP private offers from Salesforce or HubSpot? + Yes. Suger's native Salesforce package and HubSpot integration let your deal desk build standard private offers, agreement-based offers, and channel partner offers without leaving the CRM — offer fields auto-populate from the opportunity or deal record. How does Suger keep marketplace deals in sync with my CRM? + Suger maintains bi-directional sync between each cloud marketplace and your CRM: offer status, buyer acceptance, stage changes, and entitlements update automatically in both directions, with full offer history logged. Does Suger support channel partner private offers (CPPO)? + Yes. Suger manages the full CPPO lifecycle on AWS — resale authorizations, partner markup, custom payment schedules, and partner notifications — alongside standard and agreement-based offers. How does revenue and entitlement data flow back to the CRM? + On buyer acceptance, Suger creates entitlement records in Salesforce and syncs invoiced, collectible, and disbursed amounts, so deal desk, RevOps, and finance reconcile from the same source of truth. What approval workflows does Suger support? + Suger respects your existing CRM approval chains and role-based permissions, and can trigger Slack and email alerts on configurable stage changes, so nothing publishes to a marketplace without the right sign-off.

Alliances Lead, growth-stage ISV · Google Cloud Premier 2.5x deal volume on GCP 120% larger contract values 1-2w to first listing live Questions ## Frequently asked questions How do I list my SaaS product on Google Cloud Marketplace? + Listing on Google Cloud Marketplace requires integrating with Google Cloud Billing, configuring your service ID, packaging your app (for Kubernetes or container listings), and meeting the marketplace technical and content guidelines. Suger automates the integration — billing APIs, service ID setup, metering, and compliance checks — so most ISVs go live in 1–2 weeks. What is the Partner Sales Console (PSC) and how does Suger help? + Partner Sales Console (PSC) is Google Cloud's co-sell platform where ISVs register opportunities with Google field sellers for joint selling. Suger connects PSC bi-directionally to Salesforce and HubSpot: opportunities auto-register based on your criteria, inbound Google referrals flow into the CRM with contacts and engagement data, and stage updates sync both ways. Can I create Google Cloud Marketplace private offers from Salesforce? + Yes. Suger's Salesforce managed package supports creating private offers on Google Cloud Marketplace directly from an opportunity record. Offer fields auto-populate from the opportunity, internal approval workflows run before publishing, and the resulting offer is sent to the buyer with view/accept tracking back in the CRM. What are GCP CUDs and how do they affect marketplace deals? + CUDs (Committed Use Discounts) are Google Cloud's spend commitment program where customers agree to a minimum cloud spend over 1-3 years in exchange for discounted pricing. Software purchases on Google Cloud Marketplace count against the buyer's CUD, which means buyers with active CUDs have strong incentives to transact through the marketplace. How does Suger automate GCP billing and metering? + Suger integrates with the Google Cloud Billing API and supports third-party billing systems (Stripe, Metronome, Orb, Lago). Usage data is normalized across sources and reported to Google Cloud accurately. Disbursements are auto-matched to CRM opportunities and pushed to NetSuite, QuickBooks, or your data warehouse for revenue recognition. What GCP partner funding programs can I apply for through Suger? + Google Cloud offers Partner Engagement Funding, Investment Funding (including POC funds), and Marketing Development Funds across Partner Advantage tiers. Suger's Funding Co-Pilot surfaces eligibility on each opportunity, submits requests from Salesforce pre-filled with deal context, and tracks approval and reimbursement status. Does Suger work with Google Cloud Partner Advantage? + Yes. Suger is a Google Cloud Marketplace-integrated partner, and its workflows fully support Partner Advantage program requirements: marketplace transactability, PSC co-sell engagement, and reporting that aligns with Partner Advantage tier criteria (Premier, Advanced, Member). Customers using Suger have used the platform to accelerate progression to Premier tier. How long does it take to launch on Google Cloud Marketplace with Suger? + Most ISVs go live on Google Cloud Marketplace in 1–2 weeks. Timeline varies with listing type — SaaS contracts are the fastest, Kubernetes app and container listings need slightly more packaging work. Suger provides templates and guided onboarding for both. Do I need engineering resources to integrate with Google Cloud Marketplace? + Minimal for SaaS listings; moderate for Kubernetes app and container listings. For SaaS, Suger handles the entire integration layer (billing, metering, authentication) and engineering involvement is limited to webhook configuration. For container/Kubernetes listings, your team owns the app packaging but Suger provides templates and step-by-step guidance. How does pricing work for Google Cloud Marketplace deals? + Google Cloud charges a marketplace transaction fee (typically 3%, with reductions for higher Partner Advantage tiers). Suger's platform pricing is separate and based on the volume and modules you use. Buyers pay Google Cloud, Google disburses to the seller minus the transaction fee, and Suger reconciles the flow into your finance systems. What customers are selling on Google Cloud Marketplace with Suger? + Many of Suger's 250+ ISV customers run multi-cloud GTM motions that include Google Cloud Marketplace — including names like Intel, Notion, Webflow, Fivetran, Glean, and Fireblocks. Outcomes consistently include faster time-to-listing, larger contract values, and net-new pipeline from PSC co-sell. ## Ready to sell on Google Cloud Marketplace end-to-end?

Alliances Lead, mid-market ISV · Microsoft Solutions Partner 2.8x deal volume on Azure 130% larger contract values 1-2w to first listing live Questions ## Frequently asked questions How do I list my SaaS product on Microsoft commercial marketplace? + Listing on Microsoft commercial marketplace (which includes Azure Marketplace and AppSource) requires a Partner Center account, integration with the marketplace metering API, configuring your offer plans, and meeting Microsoft's technical and certification requirements. Suger automates Partner Center setup, metering integration, and listing compliance. Most ISVs go live in 1–2 weeks. What is Microsoft Partner Center and how does Suger help with co-sell? + Microsoft Partner Center is the platform where ISVs manage co-sell with Microsoft sellers, register opportunities, and track Solutions Partner designation progress. Suger connects Partner Center bi-directionally to Salesforce and HubSpot: co-sell deals auto-share on your criteria, inbound Microsoft referrals flow into the CRM, and stage updates sync both ways. Can I create Azure Marketplace private offers from Salesforce? + Yes. Suger's Salesforce managed package supports creating private offers on Azure Marketplace directly from an opportunity. Offer fields auto-populate from the opportunity record, internal approval workflows run before publishing, and the resulting offer is sent to the buyer with view/accept tracking in the CRM. What are MACCs and how do they affect Azure Marketplace deals? + MACC (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment) is Microsoft's spend commitment program where customers agree to spend a minimum amount on Azure over a defined period. Software purchases on Azure Marketplace count toward the buyer's MACC, which means buyers with active MACCs have strong incentives to transact through the marketplace. What is a Multiparty Private Offer (MPO) on Azure Marketplace? + A Multiparty Private Offer (MPO) lets ISVs sell through authorized CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) partners on Azure Marketplace. The ISV publishes a private offer, the CSP partner adds their margin, and the customer transacts through the CSP. Suger manages the full MPO lifecycle including margin configuration, partner notifications, and revenue split tracking. How does Suger automate Azure Marketplace metering and billing? + Suger integrates with the Microsoft commercial marketplace metering API and supports third-party billing systems (Stripe, Metronome, Orb, Lago). Usage data is normalized across sources and reported to Microsoft accurately. Disbursements are auto-matched to CRM opportunities and pushed to NetSuite, QuickBooks, or your data warehouse for revenue recognition. What Microsoft funding programs can I apply for through Suger? + Microsoft offers ECIF (End Customer Investment Funds, for migration projects), Partner Pledge Fund (for POCs and pilots), and Marketing Development Funds (for co-marketing). Suger's Funding Co-Pilot surfaces eligibility on each opportunity, submits requests from Salesforce pre-filled with deal context, and tracks approval and reimbursement status. Does Suger work with Microsoft Solutions Partner designations? + Yes. Suger's workflows fully support Solutions Partner designation requirements: marketplace transactability, Partner Center co-sell engagement, and reporting that aligns with Solutions Partner designation criteria across Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, Modern Work, Security, and Business Applications. Customers have used Suger to accelerate designation attainment. How long does it take to launch on Azure Marketplace with Suger? + Most ISVs go live on Azure Marketplace in 1–2 weeks. Timeline varies with offer type — SaaS Transact offers are the fastest, VM and Azure Application offers need additional packaging and Microsoft certification. Suger provides templates and guided onboarding for all offer types. Do I need engineering resources to integrate with Azure Marketplace? + Minimal for SaaS Transact offers; moderate for VM and Azure Application offers. For SaaS, Suger handles the entire integration layer (metering, authentication, fulfillment) and engineering is limited to webhook configuration. For VM/Azure App offers, your team owns the VM image or ARM template but Suger provides templates and step-by-step guidance. How does pricing work for Microsoft commercial marketplace deals? + Microsoft charges a marketplace transaction fee (typically 3%, with reductions for higher Solutions Partner designation tiers). Suger's platform pricing is separate and based on volume and modules. Buyers pay Microsoft, Microsoft disburses to the seller minus the transaction fee, and Suger reconciles into your finance systems. What customers are selling on Azure Marketplace with Suger? + Many of Suger's 250+ ISV customers run multi-cloud GTM motions that include Azure Marketplace — including Intel, Snowflake, Notion, Webflow, Fivetran, Fireblocks, and Harness. Outcomes consistently include faster time-to-listing, larger contract values from MACC-funded deals, and net-new pipeline from Partner Center co-sell. ## Ready to sell on Azure Marketplace end-to-end?

You generate an API signing key pair in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and add it to Suger once. Suger then reads your published SaaS listings and manages private offers on that Oracle seller account. What Oracle Cloud Marketplace listing types does Suger support? + SaaS listings. Suger syncs the SaaS listings you have published on Oracle Cloud Marketplace into Suger products so they are managed centrally, in the same place as your listings on the other marketplaces Suger supports. Can I create Oracle Cloud Marketplace private offers in Suger? + Yes. Suger covers the full Oracle private offer lifecycle — draft creation, contract attachment, distribution to the buyer, and subscription activation tracking once the buyer accepts the offer. Does Suger track Oracle Cloud Marketplace entitlements? + Yes. Entitlements are tracked from Oracle Cloud Marketplace, so what a buyer purchased through Oracle is visible in Suger next to entitlements from every other marketplace you have connected. Do I need to publish my Oracle listing before connecting Suger? + Yes. Suger syncs listings that are already published on Oracle Cloud Marketplace. Publish the SaaS listing on Oracle first, then connect the integration and the listing is imported into Suger as a product you can build offers against. Does Suger automate co-sell on Oracle Cloud Marketplace? + No. Suger automates co-sell for the three hyperscalers with a full co-sell program — AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud. Oracle Cloud Marketplace support covers integration, listing sync, private offers, and entitlement tracking. How many marketplaces can Suger manage alongside Oracle? + six in total: AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle. One console and one API cover all of them, so an Oracle private offer follows the same shape as an offer on any other connected marketplace. Where is the Oracle Cloud Marketplace documentation? + The Oracle docs live at doc.suger.io/oracle-marketplace/, with dedicated pages for integration setup, listing a product, and creating private offers. Each page walks through the console steps in order. ## Ready to run Oracle Cloud Marketplace from one console? See the OCI key setup, a synced SaaS listing, and a private offer moving from draft to activation in a live walkthrough.

That single grant is what lets everything else on this page happen — provider profile, pricing plans, listings, private offers, and usage reporting. Key Features - Vendor-granted authorization, set up once - Unlocks the other five Snowflake capabilities in Suger - Snowflake joins the other marketplaces already in your Suger org [Read the Snowflake integration guide →](https://doc.suger.io/snowflake-marketplace/integration/) SNOW Snowflake integration Authorized Authorization Vendor granted Managed by Suger Unlocks Profile · plans · listings · offers Step one of six — everything else depends on this grant. Provider profile ## Set up the provider profile Snowflake requires before listing 02 A provider profile is your vendor identity on Snowflake Marketplace, and it is required before you can publish anything. Suger manages the profile so the data or AI product you list carries a complete, consistent provider identity from day one. Key Features - Required prerequisite — no listing goes live without it - Establishes your vendor identity on the marketplace - Managed in Suger with the rest of your Snowflake setup [Read the provider profile guide →](https://doc.suger.io/snowflake-marketplace/provider_profile/) Provider profile Required before listing DV Delta Vector Data Provider identity on Snowflake Marketplace Company description Complete Support contact Complete Profile status Approved Consumers see this profile on every listing you publish. Pricing plans ## Configure pricing plans for your Snowflake offerings 03 A pricing plan is the pricing structure attached to a Snowflake Marketplace offering. Configure plans in Suger before you publish, so the listing your consumers see and the private offers your sellers negotiate both start from a defined structure. Key Features - Pricing structure configured for each Snowflake offering - Set up before the listing goes out to consumers - Gives negotiated private offers a defined starting point [Read the pricing plans guide →](https://doc.suger.io/snowflake-marketplace/pricing_plans/) Pricing plans 3 configured Starter Entry tier for evaluation accounts Plan A Growth Standard published plan Default Enterprise Basis for negotiated private offers Plan C Pricing plans are configured before a listing goes out. Product listing ## Publish data products or applications on Snowflake Marketplace 04 Snowflake Marketplace carries two things you can publish: data products and applications. Suger handles the listing step for both, so a dataset and a Snowflake-native application follow the same publishing path in your console.

Private offers ## Send negotiated private offers to specific Snowflake consumers 05 A Snowflake Marketplace private offer is a custom negotiated offer visible only to a specific consumer. Suger creates those offers so an enterprise data deal can be priced and delivered privately instead of forcing every buyer onto public listing pricing. Key Features - Custom negotiated terms for one named consumer - Built on the pricing plans you already configured - Created from the same console as your other marketplace offers [Read the Snowflake private offer guide →](https://doc.suger.io/snowflake-marketplace/create-private-offer/) Private offer · Helix Analytics PO-3391 Listing Global Risk Signals Based on plan Enterprise Consumer Helix Analytics Type Negotiated Visibility This consumer only Usage metering ## Report Snowflake consumption in bulk with a CSV upload 06 Usage metering on Snowflake Marketplace is bulk consumption reporting: you upload a CSV and Suger reports the consumption for that period. It suits data and AI vendors whose usage is computed downstream and batched, rather than emitted event by event. Key Features - Bulk consumption reporting via CSV upload - One upload covers many consumers in a single period - Fits usage that is aggregated downstream before reporting [Read the usage metering upload guide →](https://doc.suger.io/snowflake-marketplace/usage-metering-upload/) Usage metering upload Bulk CSV consumption-2026-07.csv 4,812 rows · validated Consumers covered 37 Period 1 – 31 July Status Reported One upload reports consumption for every consumer in the period. Scope ## What the Snowflake Marketplace integration covers Snowflake works differently from the hyperscaler marketplaces — a provider profile gates listing, and consumption is reported in bulk. Here is what Suger does for a Snowflake provider, and what is worth knowing before you start. Covered today - • Vendor-authorized account integration - • Provider profile creation and management - • Pricing plan configuration for Snowflake offerings - • Listings for data products and applications - • Private offers for specific consumers - • Bulk usage metering via CSV upload Good to know - • The provider profile is a hard prerequisite — build it before the listing - • Snowflake calls buyers consumers; private offers are scoped to one of them - • Metering is a bulk CSV upload, not a per-event stream - • Co-sell automation covers the three hyperscalers with a full co-sell program — see [how Suger automates co-sell](/platform/cosell/) ## Snowflake Marketplace documentation Each of the six capabilities has its own guide.

Explore Oracle Cloud Marketplace](/solutions/oracle-marketplace/) Questions ## Snowflake Marketplace questions How do I list a data product on Snowflake Marketplace? + In four steps. Authorize Suger to manage your Snowflake Marketplace account, create the provider profile Snowflake requires, configure a pricing plan, then publish the listing. Suger handles each step from the same console you use for your other marketplaces. What is a Snowflake Marketplace provider profile? + A provider profile is the vendor identity shown on Snowflake Marketplace. Snowflake requires one before you can publish a listing, so Suger sets it up as the second step of onboarding, right after the integration is authorized. Can I list applications as well as data products? + Yes. Snowflake Marketplace product listings in Suger cover both data products and applications, and both follow the same publishing path — provider profile, pricing plan, then listing. Does Suger support Snowflake Marketplace private offers? + Yes. A private offer is a custom negotiated offer for a specific consumer, and Suger creates them against your published listing so enterprise data deals can be priced privately rather than at public listing pricing. How does usage metering work on Snowflake Marketplace? + Through bulk consumption reporting. You upload a CSV covering the period and Suger reports that consumption, which fits data and AI vendors whose usage is aggregated downstream instead of emitted as individual events. What access does Suger need to my Snowflake account? + The integration is an explicit authorization: the vendor authorizes Suger to manage their Snowflake Marketplace account. That grant is the prerequisite for provider profile, pricing plan, listing, private offer, and metering work in Suger. Does Suger automate co-sell on Snowflake Marketplace? + No. Suger automates co-sell for the three hyperscalers with a full co-sell program — AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud. Snowflake Marketplace support covers integration, provider profile, pricing plans, listings, private offers, and usage metering. Can I manage Snowflake alongside the hyperscaler marketplaces? + Yes. Suger lists and transacts on six marketplaces — AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle — from one console and one API, so a data vendor selling on both Snowflake and AWS works in a single system. ## Ready to put your data product in front of Snowflake consumers?

A cloud GTM solution is the set of systems and processes an ISV uses to list, sell, and get paid through cloud marketplaces. It spans listing management, private offers, co-sell with the cloud provider, usage metering, billing reconciliation, and CRM sync. Which cloud marketplace should we start with? Start where your buyers already have committed spend. Most ISVs begin with AWS Marketplace because of its buyer base and EDP drawdown, then add Microsoft or Google Cloud once the listing and metering pipeline is proven. Do we need a different tool for each marketplace? No. Suger presents all six marketplaces — AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle — as one API and one console, so a listing, offer, or usage record follows the same shape regardless of which marketplace it lands in. How does Suger fit with our CRM? Suger syncs bi-directionally with Salesforce and HubSpot. Sellers create private offers, track co-sell referrals, and see marketplace revenue on the opportunity record without leaving the CRM. ## Ready to build your cloud GTM motion?

If Customer is required by law to withhold taxes, Customer will furnish appropriate withholding receipts or other documentation sufficient to support the payment. **9.4 Late Payments.** Overdue undisputed amounts may accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate permitted by law, and Suger may suspend access to the Services for nonpayment after providing reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure. **9.5 Free Trials and Promotions.** Any free trial, proof of concept, or promotional access may be subject to additional terms, may be revoked at any time, and may be limited in features, usage, support, storage, or duration. **9.6 Renewals.** Subscription terms, renewals, downgrade rights, and expansion rights are governed by the applicable Order Form or pricing commitment. If no renewal terms are stated there, any renewal will occur only by mutual agreement. ## 10\. Confidentiality **10.1 Definition.** "Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party ("Discloser") to the other party ("Recipient") that is designated confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the context of disclosure. Customer Data is Customer Confidential Information. The Services, Documentation, pricing, security materials, and non-public product roadmaps are Suger Confidential Information. **10.2 Use and Protection.** Recipient will use Confidential Information only as necessary to perform or exercise its rights under these Terms and will protect the Confidential Information using at least reasonable care, but not less than the care it uses to protect its own similarly sensitive information. **10.3 Permitted Disclosure.** Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, contractors, advisors, and service providers who have a need to know it for purposes of these Terms and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Section. **10.4 Exclusions.** Confidential Information does not include information that Recipient can show: (a) is or becomes public without Recipient's breach; (b) was lawfully known to Recipient without obligation of confidentiality before disclosure; (c) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser's Confidential Information; or (d) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction. **10.5 Compelled Disclosure.** Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, regulation, or court order, provided that, where legally permitted, Recipient gives prompt notice to Discloser and reasonably cooperates with Discloser's efforts to seek protective treatment. ## 11\. Privacy, Security, and Data Processing **11.1 Privacy Policy.** Suger's handling of personal information collected directly from the website or in connection with account administration is governed by Suger's then-current [Privacy Policy](/privacy). Customer remains responsible for its own privacy notices and lawful bases for processing personal data it submits to the Services. **11.2 Data Processing Addendum.** If and to the extent Suger processes personal data on Customer's behalf as a processor or service provider, the parties may execute Suger's applicable Data Processing Addendum or equivalent written data-processing terms, which will control to the extent required by applicable privacy law. **11.3 Security Measures.** Suger will maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Services and Customer Data against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure, taking into account the nature of the Services and the sensitivity of the data processed. **11.4 Usage Data and Service Improvement.** Suger may collect and use Usage Data to operate, support, secure, analyze, and improve the Services and to develop reports and insights, provided that Suger will not disclose Usage Data externally in a manner that identifies Customer as the source without Customer's permission except as required by law. **11.5 Security Incidents.** If Suger becomes aware of a confirmed security incident affecting Customer Data in Suger's control, Suger will notify Customer without undue delay as required by applicable law and will provide information reasonably necessary for Customer to understand the nature and reasonably likely consequences of the incident. **11.6 Customer Security Responsibilities.** Customer is responsible for configuring access rights, user provisioning, approval flows, integration permissions, network controls, and other settings within Customer's control and for promptly revoking access when it is no longer authorized. ## 12\. Intellectual Property, Feedback, and Publicity **12.1 Suger Technology.** The Services, Documentation, software, templates, reports, visualizations, AI systems, workflows, and related technology, together with all modifications and improvements to them, are and remain the property of Suger and its licensors. **12.2 Customer Materials.** Customer retains ownership of Customer Data and Customer Offerings. Subject to these Terms, Customer grants Suger only the limited rights described in Section 5.1. **12.3 Feedback.** If Customer provides feedback, suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or recommendations regarding the Services, Suger may use them without restriction or obligation, provided that Suger will not publicly identify Customer as the source without permission. **12.4 No Implied Rights.** No rights or licenses are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise except as expressly stated in these Terms. **12.5 Publicity.** Neither party may issue a press release or use the other party's name, logo, or trademarks in public marketing materials without prior written consent, except that Suger may describe Customer in a factual customer list only if Customer separately authorizes that use in writing. ## 13\. Support, Professional Services, and Service Levels **13.1 Support.** During the applicable subscription term, Suger may provide support through documentation, help materials, email, messaging channels, or other support methods made available to Customer. Any support hours, response times, implementation commitments, or dedicated channels will be as described in the applicable Order Form or support policy. **13.2 No SLA Unless Stated.** Any service level commitment, uptime commitment, response commitment, or support credit applies only if expressly stated in an Order Form or separate written service level agreement. **13.3 Professional Services.** Any implementation, onboarding, migration, configuration, advisory, or other professional services are governed by the applicable Order Form or statement of work. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Suger retains ownership of any preexisting materials, methods, know-how, and reusable tools used in performing professional services. **13.4 Subcontractors.** Suger may use affiliates and subcontractors to perform portions of the Services, provided that Suger remains responsible for their performance to the same extent as if performed by Suger directly. ## 14\. Suspension, Term, and Termination **14.1 Term.** These Terms begin on the date Customer first accepts them and continue until all subscriptions, Order Forms, and use of the Services have expired or been terminated. **14.2 Suspension.** Suger may suspend or limit access to the Services immediately if necessary to prevent harm, address a security threat, stop unlawful activity, respond to repeated abuse, avoid material operational risk, or enforce these Terms, provided that Suger will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer when practicable. **14.3 Termination for Cause.** Either party may terminate these Terms or an affected Order Form if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice, except that termination may be immediate for breaches that cannot reasonably be cured. **14.4 Effect of Termination.** Upon expiration or termination, Customer's right to access and use the Services ceases, Customer must stop using the Services, and any unpaid amounts become immediately due and payable. Subject to the Documentation and any applicable Order Form, Customer may have a limited period after termination to export its Customer Data before deletion. **14.5 Deletion and Retention.** Following expiration or termination, Suger may delete Customer Data in accordance with its standard retention practices, except to the extent Suger is required to retain it by law, for legitimate security or audit purposes, or as otherwise stated in a written agreement. **14.6 Survival.** Sections that by their nature should survive expiration or termination, including payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, dispute provisions, and miscellaneous terms, will survive. ## 15\. Warranties and Disclaimers **15.1 Mutual Authority Warranty.** Each party represents and warrants that it has the authority to enter into these Terms and to perform its obligations under them. **15.2 Limited Service Warranty.** Suger warrants that, during a paid subscription term, the Services will materially conform to the applicable Documentation under normal authorized use.

Material changes will be effective on a prospective basis after reasonable notice, including by posting updated Terms on the website or through the Services. Customer's continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. **19.3 Assignment.** Neither party may assign these Terms without the other party's prior written consent, except that either party may assign these Terms without consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets, provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by these Terms. **19.4 Force Majeure.** Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, failures of telecommunications or internet service providers, government action, or failures of critical third-party infrastructure, except that Customer's payment obligations are not excused. **19.5 Export and Sanctions.** Customer may not use, export, or re-export the Services in violation of applicable export control or sanctions laws and represents that it is not located in, ordinarily resident in, or controlled by any person located in a prohibited jurisdiction or listed on any applicable restricted party list. **19.6 Independent Contractors.** The parties are independent contractors.
