Listing Fee for sellers

1. There is no specific listing fee for products or professional services on AWS Marketplace if there are no buyers. AWS Marketplace does not charge sellers a one-time publishing fee or any standard monthly/yearly fees just for listing their products. The listing fees are only applied when a transaction occurs between a seller and a buyer.

2. Yes, the fees mentioned in the AWS Marketplace documentation are only applicable when a seller has a contract or transaction with a buyer. These fees are a percentage of the transaction proceeds and are not charged simply for listing a product on the marketplace.

The listing fees vary depending on the type of offer and the deployment method:

• For public offers:

  • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and AWS Data Exchange products: 3%
  • Server offers (Amazon Machine Image, container, and machine learning): 20%

• For private offers:

  • Fees range from 1.5% to 3%, depending on the total contract value:
    • Less than $1M: 3%
    • $1M to less than $10M: 2%
    • $10M or more: 1.5%
  • Renewals of private offers: 1.5%

• Professional services have a 2.5% listing fee for private offers.

• Channel partner private offers (CPPO) have an additional 0.5% uplift on the listing fee.

These fees are only charged when a transaction occurs, not for simply listing the product or service on AWS Marketplace. Sellers are not required to pay any upfront or recurring fees to maintain their listings on the marketplace.
