# As buyer

This section is written for **buyers**, not sellers. Everywhere else in this documentation you are the ISV selling through a cloud marketplace; here you are the organization doing the purchasing — procurement, finance, and the internal approvers who sign off before a deal closes.

**Buyer Service** gives a purchasing team one place to run that side of the transaction: raise a purchase request against a defined workflow, route it through internal approval tasks, review and accept the private offer a vendor sends, then track the entitlement, invoices, and payments that follow. Your organization must be registered with Suger as a **BUYER** organization to use it.

## The purchasing path

1. **[Quick Guide](/as-buyer/quick-guide/)** — check your organization type and role permissions, connect the cloud marketplace, and see where each module fits before you start.
2. **[Buyer Journey](/as-buyer/buyer-journey/)** — the whole procurement path told end to end, from first purchase intent through to invoices and payments.
3. **[Vendor](/as-buyer/vendor/)** — discover vendors and their products, then manage the ones you already buy from.
4. **[Request and Task](/as-buyer/request-and-task/)** — create a request against a workflow, and work the approval tasks it generates for your reviewers.
5. **[Offer and Entitlement](/as-buyer/offer-and-entitlement/)** — review the commercial terms a vendor proposes, accept the offer, and manage the entitlement it grants.
6. **[Invoice and Payment](/as-buyer/invoice-and-payment/)** — the billing records behind each entitlement and the payment history against them.

## Watch spend and commitments

- **[Home](/as-buyer/home/)** — the dashboard that rolls everything up: AWS PPA commit, charges, total credits applied, and total net cost.

## Scope and limits

:::tip
Currently, Buyer Service supports purchases from the **AWS Cloud Marketplace**.

:::info
Two things to know before you plan around Buyer Service:

- Your organization must have been registered with **BUYER** as its organization type, and users need at least the EDITOR role to work in these modules. See [Account](/get-started/account/) if you have not registered yet.
- Detailed invoice line items stay with the underlying cloud marketplace and are not reproduced inside Buyer Service — you see the billing record, not the marketplace's full invoice detail.
