<a name="requesting-products-for-procurement"></a>

As a user, you can request that your administrator approve a product that is not in your Private Marketplace experience. You will be able to create requests only if your administrator has enabled product procurement requests. For more information, see [Your Private Marketplace experience](your-private-marketplace-experience.md) to check if you can create requests.

**To request a product**

1. Open the AWS Marketplace console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Discover Products**.

1. Search for the product you want to purchase.

1. If the product is not approved in your Private Marketplace experience, you will see a red banner with **Request product** button.

1. Choose **Request product**.

1. Fill the details, and choose **Request product** to submit your request. If you are an administrator, you will be redirected to a the form that allows you to approve the product directly without creating a request.

1. You will receive Amazon EventBridge events when a user in your account requests a product and when an administrator approves or declines the request. For more information, see [Private Marketplace notifications](configuring-notifications.md) for details on how you can configure email notifications for these events.
