With a seamless integration of Buy with AWS on its own website, SaaSify is setting a new standard for the industry, ensuring that both Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and customers benefit from this game-changing functionality.

Buy with AWS: Transforming Software Procurement

For years, AWS Marketplace has been a cornerstone for software vendors looking to make their solutions discoverable and accessible. However, Buy with AWS takes this functionality to the next level by allowing partners to turn their websites into fully transactable storefronts. This means that customers no longer have to navigate between multiple platforms to make purchases—they can evaluate, decide, and buy directly from the ISV’s website.

Key Features of Buy with AWS

The introduction of Buy with AWS is a testament to AWS’s commitment to simplifying the software procurement journey. Here’s how it’s reshaping the process for both ISVs and their customers:

1. Direct Transactions on Partner Websites Customers can now purchase SaaS offerings directly from an ISV’s website, eliminating unnecessary redirections. This direct purchasing capability enhances visibility and accessibility for ISVs, bringing their offerings closer to their target audience.
2. Frictionless Customer Journey Buy with AWS removes barriers to decision-making by simplifying the buying process. Customers experience a smoother transition from interest to purchase, reducing cart abandonment rates and accelerating conversions.
3. Comprehensive Purchase Options The feature supports various buying options, including free trials, demo requests, and private offer requests, catering to diverse customer needs and preferences.
4. Streamlined Billing AWS manages all financial transactions, ensuring transparency, security, and reliability. This reduces administrative burdens for ISVs, allowing them to focus on product innovation and customer engagement.
5. Actionable CTAs ISVs can integrate actionable call-to-action buttons such as “Buy with AWS,” “View Offers on AWS,” “Try Free with AWS,” “Request Private Offer,” and “Request Demo.” These CTAs empower customers to explore and evaluate offerings efficiently, boosting decision-making and purchase confidence.
