# Marketplace Setup

> Subscribe to Aiven through AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud marketplace and link your subscription to your Aiven organization

You can subscribe to Aiven through your preferred cloud marketplace and have your Aiven charges billed directly to your cloud provider account. This simplifies procurement and consolidates your cloud spending.

    ### Understanding GCP billing

    Services created through your Google Cloud subscription are billed per hour:

    * Metering data is sent from Aiven to Google Cloud
    * View usage in the **Billing** section of Google Cloud Console
    * The subscription appears as **Use of Aiven**
    * Usage labels help identify your services:
      * `container_name`: Your Aiven project name
      * `resource_name`: Your Aiven service name

    <Accordion title="Example: Viewing GCP billing details">
      In Google Cloud Console:

      1. Navigate to **Billing** → **Reports**
      2. Filter by **Service**: Use of Aiven
      3. Add labels to see per-project or per-service costs:
         * Group by `container_name` to see costs by Aiven project
         * Group by `resource_name` to see costs by individual service
    </Accordion>

    ### Login URL

    <Note>
      Once set up, always use this URL to access your GCP-linked account:

      [https://console.gcp.aiven.io](https://console.gcp.aiven.io)
    </Note>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## After subscription setup

Once you've linked your marketplace subscription:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Verify billing configuration">
    Log into the Aiven Console using your marketplace-specific URL and verify that your billing is set up correctly.

    Check the **Billing** section to confirm your marketplace subscription is active.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first service">
    Follow the [quickstart guide](/quickstart) to deploy your first service.

    All service charges will be billed through your cloud marketplace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your organization">
    Configure your organization structure, invite team members, and set up projects.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing existing services

If you already have Aiven services with a different payment method:

<Accordion title="Migrate existing services to marketplace billing">
  You can change the billing for existing services to use your marketplace subscription:

  1. Link your marketplace subscription to the organization containing your services
  2. In the Aiven Console, go to **Billing** → **Billing groups**
  3. Select the billing group containing your services
  4. Update the payment method to your marketplace subscription

  Your services will continue running without interruption, and future charges will be billed through the marketplace.

  For detailed instructions, see the [marketplace payment guide](/platform/overview).

## Frequently asked questions

<Accordion title="When will I be charged?">
  You're charged only after creating and running Aiven services. The marketplace subscription itself has no cost.

  Billing is hourly based on the services you're running and their configuration (plan size, cloud region, etc.).
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I use multiple marketplace subscriptions?">
  Yes, you can have multiple marketplace subscriptions across different organizations. However, each organization can only be linked to one marketplace subscription.

  If you need to use services from multiple cloud providers, create separate organizations for each marketplace.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I switch between marketplaces?">
  You can change your billing method, but this requires updating your billing group configuration. Contact [support@aiven.io](mailto:support@aiven.io) for assistance with complex billing migrations.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Do marketplace prices differ from direct pricing?">
  Pricing is consistent across all channels. However, marketplace subscriptions may allow you to use existing cloud credits or commitments, which can reduce your effective cost.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What happens if my marketplace subscription ends?">
  If your marketplace subscription ends or is cancelled, you'll need to add an alternative payment method to keep your services running. Aiven will notify you before any service interruption.
</Accordion>
