This guide walks you through creating a new SaaS product listing on AWS Marketplace using AWSsome. AWS enforces strict validation rules on every field, so follow each step carefully.

The full process is covered across these pages:

 — Product details, descriptions, media

 — Basic & Advanced pricing configuration

 — Lifecycle, statuses, and field limits

Before creating a product listing, make sure the following prerequisites are in place. Missing any of these will block your listing from going live.

: Your AWS account must have CloudFormation Template v3 (CFT v3) permissions enabled. If you're still using CFT v2, contact your AWSsome admin to upgrade. Without CFT v3, several publishing features will not work correctly -> 

 If your organization hasn't migrated to the new AWS Partner Network (APN) experience, do that first. Legacy APN accounts have limited API access and will encounter errors during the listing process. You can check your migration status in the APN Portal under Settings ->
