Subscribe through AWS Marketplace to pay for managed instances on your existing AWS bill.
You do not need to add a payment card to the organisation in SurrealDB Studio. AWS charges your AWS account for the usage.
This route suits a procurement process that already runs through AWS:
Consolidated invoicing across vendors.
Spend drawn down against an existing AWS commitment.
A purchasing process that approves Marketplace listings only.
Everything else about the instances is the same.
Subscribe
Open the SurrealDB Cloud listing in AWS Marketplace.
Select Subscribe.
Confirm the contract and the pricing terms.
Complete the AWS account and payment linkage as prompted.
What happens once you subscribe
You'll receive an email confirming your subscription.
Follow the link in the email to sign in and claim the subscription. Sign in with the email address you want to manage the subscription from, because the subscription is attached to the account you sign in with.
Claiming the subscription creates a new organisation, owned by that account and linked to your AWS Marketplace billing. Any instances you deploy in it are billed through the Marketplace.
You can then deploy instances as you would otherwise. Plans, instance types, regions, and capabilities are the same. Only the invoicing route differs.
Moving existing instances
Existing instances and members in another SurrealDB Cloud organisation do not move to the new organisation automatically. To move them, please email support@surrealdb.com with the IDs of the new and the old organisation.
Where your invoices are
Invoices and payment information for a Marketplace subscription are in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. They do not appear in SurrealDB Studio, so the Billing page shows no invoices for an organisation billed through the Marketplace.
Usage figures stay in Studio under Usage. Read them to reconcile what the AWS charge covers. See Usage and spend.
Change or cancel a subscription
Changes and cancellations go through AWS. Follow the AWS guidance for Marketplace subscriptions.
Cancelling the Marketplace subscription removes the billing route for the organisation. Before you cancel, put the organisation on a valid plan, with its own payment method if one is needed. Running instances are otherwise left without a billing route.
