Channel relationships in AWS Partner Central provide a centralized way to manage connections between your program management accounts and your customer, distribution seller, or internal AWS Organizations.

Channel Management supports three types of relationships:
+ **End Customer:** Direct resale relationships with organizations purchasing AWS services
+ **Distribution Seller:** Downstream resale partners operating under your distribution agreement (for Distributors only)
+ **Internal:** Partner's own AWS consumption related to testing and development of their channel business
