Net payment terms for private offers
When you accept a private offer with net payment terms, your invoice payment due dates
reflect the seller's negotiated terms instead of your standard AWS payment terms. For example,
if a seller extends Net 60 terms through a private offer, we set the payment
due date to 60 days from the invoice date, regardless of your default AWS terms. If sellers do
not specifically set net payment terms in a private offer, you won't see that field defined and
we continue to charge using your standard payment terms.
Net payment terms are supported for all product types (with the exception of AWS Data Exchange) and pricing models in AWS Marketplace private offers (MPPO) and channel partner private offers (CPPO). Net payment terms apply only to charges from the private offer agreement. We exclude charges for AWS 1P, AWS Marketplace 2P, or Amazon Bedrock products from net payment terms. Those charges continue to use your standard AWS payment terms.
Note
Net payment terms determine the number of days between the invoice date and payment due date. Net payment terms for AWS Marketplace private offers are supported exclusively for pay-by-invoice payment method.

How net payment terms for private offers work
Sellers can configure net payment terms when creating a private offer. When you review a private offer, the procurement page displays the net payment terms prominently, if they are set by the seller. If you don't see net payment terms defined, then we use your default payment terms. After you accept the offer, the specified terms apply to all charges associated with the agreement, including upfront fees, scheduled payments, and usage charges. You cannot have different net payment terms for different charge types within a single agreement.
Important
The seller's payment terms take precedence over your standard AWS payment terms only for that specific private offer subscription. Net payment terms are supported exclusively for pay-by-invoice payment method.
Prerequisites
To use net payment terms, you must meet the following requirements:
-
The seller must configure custom payment terms when creating the private offer.
You don't need additional setup or permissions.
Accept a private offer with custom payment terms
To accept a private offer with custom payment terms
-
Negotiate payment terms with the seller for your private offer.
-
Ask the seller to create the private offer with the agreed-upon payment terms in AWS Marketplace.
-
When you receive the private offer, review the payment terms on the Procurement page to confirm they match your agreement.
-
Accept the private offer. The payment terms automatically apply to all invoices for that agreement.
Viewing payment terms
You can view payment terms for private offers in the following locations:
-
Procurement page – Shows payment terms when you review a private offer, before you accept it.
-
Subscription detail page – After you accept the offer, the charge summary section displays the payment terms.
-
AWS invoices – Displays the payment due date, calculated as the invoice issuance date plus the net payment term days.
Invoice splitting by payment terms
When you have multiple subscriptions with different payment terms, we generate
separate monthly invoices grouped by payment terms. Each invoice has a single payment due date.
For example, subscriptions with standard AWS terms appear on your regular monthly invoice,
although subscriptions with Net 60 terms have a separate invoice.
If a seller sets the same payment terms as your standard AWS terms, we group those charges on one invoice.
Aligning payment terms with your purchase orders
When you accept a private offer with custom payment terms, you can set the net payment terms on the purchase requisition or purchase order to match the private offer. This might help accounts payable teams process the invoice, with consistent payment terms across the purchase order and invoice.
Note
If you typically set payment terms at the vendor or contract level in your procure-to-pay tool, you can override this at the purchase order level for subscriptions with custom payment terms.
