Amazon SNS notifications for container products

To receive notifications, you can subscribe to the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics for AWS Marketplace provided to you during product creation. The topics provide notifications about changes to customers’ subscriptions for your products. For example, you can use these notifications to know when customers accept a private offer.

Note

During the product creation process, an Amazon SNS topic is created for your product. To subscribe to notifications, you need the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon SNS topic (for example, arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:aws-mp-subscription-notification-PRODUCTCODE). The ARN is not available in the seller portal for server products. Contact the AWS Marketplace operations team to request the ARN.

The following Amazon SNS topic is available for container products:

Amazon SNS topic: aws-mp-subscription-notification

Each message in the aws-mp-subscription-notification topic has the following format.

{
    "action": "<action-name>",
    "customer-identifier": " X01EXAMPLEX",
    "product-code": "n0123EXAMPLEXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    "offer-identifier": "offer-abcexample123",
    "isFreeTrialTermPresent":"true"
}

The <action-name> will vary depending on the notification. Possible actions are:

  • subscribe-success

  • subscribe-fail

  • unsubscribe-pending

  • unsubscribe-success

The offer-identifier is included in the notification for any new offer created on AWS Marketplace starting January 2024.

For information on offer types, see the response from DescribeEntity API or the offer visibility of an agreement in the Agreements renewals dashboard.

Note

For DescribeEntity API, if you find an AWS account in the account targeting facet of targeting rule for that offer, it is a private offer. If there is not an AWS account in the account targeting facet of targeting rule for that offer, it is a public offer.

Subscribing an Amazon SQS queue to the Amazon SNS topic

We recommend subscribing an Amazon SQS queue to the provided SNS topics. For detailed instructions on creating an SQS queue and subscribing the queue to a topic, see Subscribing an Amazon SQS queue to an Amazon SNS topic in the Amazon Simple Notification Service Developer Guide.

Note

You can only subscribe to AWS Marketplace SNS topics from the AWS account used to sell the products. However, you can forward the messages to a different account. For more information, see Sending Amazon SNS messages to an Amazon SQS queue in a different account in the Amazon Simple Notification Service Developer Guide.

Polling the SQS queue for notifications

After you subscribe your SQS queue to an SNS topic, the messages are stored in SQS. You must define a service that continually polls the queue, looks for messages, and handles them accordingly.
