Managing Private Offers in Azure Marketplace
Overview
Private offers in the Azure Marketplace allow vendors to provide customized pricing and terms tailored to your organization's specific needs. These offers are tied to your existing Azure subscription and follow your current billing cycle and payment preferences.
Prerequisites
Before working with private offers, ensure you have:
- An active Azure subscription
- The appropriate permissions (Owner, Contributor, or Marketplace Admin role)
- Access to the email address associated with your Azure account
Finding Your Private Offers
You'll be notified of new private offers in two ways:
Email Notification - Azure sends an automatic email with a direct link when a vendor creates an offer for you.
Azure Portal - Navigate to the Azure Marketplace and select "Private Offer Management" to view all available offers for your organization.

For detailed steps, see Microsoft's guide on viewing private offers.
Accepting a Private Offer
Review the offer carefully before accepting, paying close attention to:
- Customized pricing terms
- Product details and included services
- Contract duration and renewal terms
The acceptance process mirrors standard Azure Marketplace purchases. Once you're satisfied with the terms, follow the prompts to complete your subscription.
