# Registering to the RI Marketplace

In order to use Commitment Manager, you will first need to register on the [RI Marketplace](https://help.zesty.co/s/article/How-is-the-RI-Marketplace-different-to-the-AWS-Marketplace), which will enable us to cover your workloads with RIs and sell them off if you have any decrease.

This is a process which we typically do during an onboarding call with one of our Customer Support Managers, but it can also be completed ahead of time using the instructions below.

### Prerequisites

- Login credentials to the AWS Portal (not the Management Console) with [root user access](https://help.zesty.co/s/article/What-is-root-user-access-and-is-it-required).
- A US bank account registered to your organization.
  - This is an [AWS requirement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ri-market-general.html#ri-market-concepts-bank) and you shouldn't see any charges associated with the RI Marketplace ever appear on the account. If your organization does not have a US bank account, contact your Customer Success Manager or open a [support ticket](https://zesty.co/contact-us/?support).
- Tax ID information for your business.

#### To register to the RI Marketplace

1. Login in to the **AWS Portal** with your root user and then go to this [link](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ri/seller_registration). Fill in your **Business Name** and click **Continue**.

2. Next you will need to add your bank account details. Fill in your **Bank Account Holder Name**, **Routing Number** and **Account Number**, then click **Continue**.

3. Click **Continue** next to **Complete Your Tax Profile!**

Fill in the information on the next page as follows:

**About You:**

- What is your tax classification? **Business**.

- Are you a US resident entity? **Yes**.

- Federal tax classification: **C Corporation**.

**Tax Identity Information:**

- Name: **Business name as shown on income tax return.**

- Address: **Business address registered with the IRS.**

- Taxpayer Identification Number: select **EIN** from the drop down menu and enter your **TIN** on the right.

**Sign and Submit:**

- Mark the **consent checkbox**.

- Fill in your **Signature**.

- Click **Save and Preview**.

4. You will now be taken to a preview of the tax form.

Review the details and confirm that they are correct by clicking **Submit Form**.

A new page will open, confirming that your information has been validated and a confirmation email will also be sent to you. Click **Exit Interview**.

5. You are now successfully signed up to the RI Marketplace. Before Zesty can begin making purchases on your behalf, you will also need to submit a ticket with AWS to increase the purchase limits for your account. This can be done with your CSM during onboarding, or by following the instructions found [here](https://help.zesty.co/s/article/How-do-I-increase-purchase-limits-for-the-RI-Marketplace).
