Get Your Azure Billing ID (Useful for private offers)#
This module offers a very quick demo on how to find you Azure Billing ID. This is particularly useful for marketplace customers who are buying a Private Offer with negotiated pricing from a seller. To create the Private Offer, the seller needs the customer’s Billing ID. This video shows you how to find it.
Get Your Azure Tenant ID (useful for private plans)#
This module offers a very quick demo on how to find you Azure Tenant ID. This is particularly useful for marketplace customers who are buying a Private Plan with negotiated pricing from a seller. To create the Private Plan, the seller needs the customer’s Tenant ID. This video shows you how to find it.
Using the Azure Marketplace Check Eligibility tool#
When you have negotiated a custom price for a product being sold on the marketplace, the seller will need some information from you to complete the offer. Additionally, you will need to ensure you have the permissions needed to make a purchase from the marketplace.
The Check Eligibility tool will help you through all of these steps. This video walks through the tool and how to use it.

Purchasing a private SaaS plan#
This video shows how to subscribe to private SaaS plans in the Azure Marketplace. Topics include private plans and a demo on purchasing a SaaS private offer.
Navigating admin consent on a SaaS offer landing page#
When customers purchase a SaaS product, they're required to visit the publisher's landing page.
Because the landing page uses Azure Entra ID single sign-on, the customer must sign in to the page. In some cases, customer accounts might not have the right to do this without the consent of their Azure admin.
This video helps customers navigate the user-consent and admin-consent settings of enterprise apps on the Azure portal. It provides an overview of the flow of consent on the landing page and how apps are configured for that design, along with demonstrations.
Subscribing to a VM offer in the marketplace#
An offer is now complete and ready to test in Partner Center.
In this video, experience buying the completed VM offer from the point of view of the customer.
Subscribing to a Kubernetes app in the commercial marketplace#
In this brief demo, you'll see how customers purchase a Kubernetes app and deploy it into their K8s cluster.
You'll see the process from marketplace to deployed and running application.
Unsubscribing from a Kubernetes app that you purchased#
In this walkthrough video, you'll see how to get rid of an application that you might have purchased and stop being billed for that app.
We use the command line with the az CLI and KubeCtl to perform these operations.
