AWS Channel Partners can now resell using Billing Transfer

AWS Channel Partners who are part of AWS Solution Provider or Distribution program can now resell AWS services using Billing Transfer. Billing Transfer enables Partners to assume financial responsibility for customer AWS Organizations while customers retain full control of their management accounts. Using Billing Transfer with AWS Partner Central channel management, Partners receive eligible program benefits applied to AWS bills delivered to their AWS Organization, while end customers view their costs at Partner-configured rates within their separate AWS Organization.

Billing Transfer helps all AWS Channel Partners simplify operations by centrally managing billing and payments across many customer AWS Organizations from a single partner management account. Partners can also now use new APIs for Partner Central to manage channel program reporting and incentive qualification from their own systems. End customers gain autonomy to independently manage their AWS Organizations while benefiting from Partner value-added services such as cost optimization and service management.

Billing Transfer is available to all AWS Channel Partners and their end customers operating in public AWS Regions, excluding the AWS GovCloud (US), China (Beijing), and China (Ningxia) Regions.

Channel Partners can get started today through AWS Partner Central channel management. To learn more, see the Channel management user guide in Partner Central documentation and read the AWS Blog.
