CPPO

Create and manage AWS marketplace Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) in Suger service

Overview​

The Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) empowers Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to grant Channel Partners access to wholesale pricing for their software solutions. This functionality enables ISVs to delegate the financial and contractual aspects of customer relationships within the AWS Marketplace to their Channel Partners.

Within the Suger platform, ISVs/Sellers can efficiently oversee CPPO resell opportunities, CPPO private offers, and CPPO entitlements in a unified manner. Additionally, CPPO entitlements benefit from overage usage metering support when the relevant usage metering dimensions are available.

Requirements​

AmazonEventBridgeFullAccess​

The AWS managed IAM policy AmazonEventBridgeFullAccess is required, to set up the notification webhook for the CPPO related events, such as CPPO_OUT offer released, or CPPO offer created by the reseller.

Please attach the AmazonEventBridgeFullAccess IAM policy to the IAM role created by the Suger CloudFormation stack when connecting the AWS Marketplace integration.

Service-linked role for AWS Marketplace​

It is required to enable CPPO function in Suger platform. AWS Marketplace uses the service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForMarketplaceResaleAuthorization, which enables access to AWS services and resources used or managed by AWS Marketplace for Resale Authorizations. Here is the steps to set up the service-linked role for AWS Marketplace:

  1. In the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, sign in to the management account and choose Settings.

  2. In the Settings section, select the Service-linked roles tab.

  3. On the Service-linked roles page, select Service-linked role for Resale Authorizations or Resale Authorizations integration, and then choose Create service-linked role or Configure integration.

  4. On the Service-linked role for Resale Authorizations or Create Resale Authorizations integrations page, review the information and confirm by choosing Create service-linked role or Create integration. A message appears on the Service-linked roles page, indicating that the Resale Authorization service-linked role was successfully created.

CPPO Resell Opportunity​

You, as ISV/Seller, can authorize channel partners to resell your products by creating a 'CPPO resell opportunity' for these partners in Suger Platform. Click the button of New Resale Authorization in the Suger console offer page, select the target AWS SaaS product and fulfill the info listed as below:

CPPO Private Offer​
