Publishing guidelines

• Note If you're enrolled in the Extended Provider Program (currently in Preview), sections 2 and 3 below don't apply and are replaced with the restrictions set forth in the Extended Provider Program Addendum to the Terms and Conditions for AWS Marketplace Providers. For more information about eligibility for the Extended Provider Program, contact AWS Support or send an email message to [e-mail].

Product details

• Note You can't modify the visibility of a product after it has been created.

• Note The third and fourth options are only available to eligible providers enrolled in the Extended Provider Program who have agreed to the Extended Provider Program Addendum to the Terms and Conditions for AWS Marketplace Providers. The Extended Provider Program is currently in preview and subject to Section 2 of the AWS Service Terms (under Betas and Previews). For information about eligibility, contact AWS Support or send an email message to [e-mail]. The fourth option is only available to eligible providers who have agreed to the AWS Business Associate Addendum, as well as the AWS Data Exchange Addendum to the AWS Business Associate Addendum.

• Note You can use Markdown templates as a starting point for the long description of a number of popular product types. For more information, see Product description templates.

• Note You can't choose both No historical revisions and No future revisions. That would create a product with no revisions and no data.

• Note A data dictionary is attached to a product and associated with a data set. If you want to have more than one data dictionary for potential subscribers to evaluate, you can create two or more versions of the same product with the same data sets. Then, add a different data dictionary to each product.

• Note Samples are attached to a product and associated with a data set. If you want to have more than 10 samples for potential subscribers to evaluate, you can create two or more versions of the same product with the same data sets. Then, add up to 10 samples to each product.

Getting started

• Important You can't change the AWS account that you use to list a product on AWS Marketplace. Only data sets owned by that account can be included in products published by that account. Only AWS accounts that are registered to provide data products on AWS Marketplace and AWS Data Exchange can publish products.

Publishing a new product

• Important As of July 22, 2021, new and existing providers can automatically publish revisions to data sets. All new products on AWS Data Exchange default to automatic revision publishing. If you have created existing products on AWS Data Exchange before July 22, 2021, you need to migrate them to automatic revision publishing. For more information, see Migrating an existing product to automatic revision publishing.

• Note If you're an existing provider and have not yet migrated all of your products to automatic revision publishing, you must publish your revision manually. For more information, see Publishing a new data set revision using manual revision publishing.

• Note You can copy a public, private, published, or unpublished product. Custom offers associated with the product will not be copied, but public offers will be copied.

• Note Metered costs apply to all API data sets in a product. Therefore, if you want to charge different prices for the same dimension for different API data sets, we recommend that you create these data sets in different products.

• Note If you have a resource policy that explicitly denies AWS Data Exchange from doing this invocation, you must remove or limit this deny.

• Note You can copy a public, private, published, or unpublished product. Custom offers associated with the product will not be copied, but public offers will be copied.

• Note You can copy a public, private, published, or unpublished product. Custom offers associated with the product will not be copied, but public offers will be copied.

Updating products

• Important A provider can revoke subscriber access to a revision and then delete the assets of the revision using the console or the AWS Data Exchange API. For more information, see Revoking revisions.

• Important As of July 22, 2021, new and existing providers can automatically publish revisions to data sets. All new products on AWS Data Exchange default to automatic revision publishing. If you have created existing products on AWS Data Exchange before July 22, 2021, you need to migrate them to automatic revision publishing. For more information, see Migrating an existing product to automatic revision publishing.

• Important As of July 22, 2021, new and existing providers can automatically publish revisions to data sets. All new products on AWS Data Exchange default to automatic revision publishing. If you have created existing products on AWS Data Exchange before July 22, 2021, you need to migrate them to automatic revision publishing. If you have existing products, you can migrate your existing products from manual revision publishing to automatic revision publishing. Automatic revision publishing simplifies the data set revision publishing process by making your revision immediately available to subscribers when you finalize it.

• Important The AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permission dataexchange:StartChangeSet is required for self-service and bulk migration.

Creating offers

• Note If you set up a flexible payment schedule for a custom private offer, the offer can't be set to auto-renewal.

Subscription verification

• Note Subscription verification is automatically enabled for all public products from Extended Provider Program providers that contain non-public, personal information.

• Important The subscriber must enter information in each field, but AWS Data Exchange doesn't review or validate the information. You're solely responsible for reviewing and verifying the information that the subscriber provides.

• Note Each subscription request is uniquely identified using its ID. The ID is visible to both the provider and the subscriber. You can use the subscription request ID in your communications with the subscriber.

• Note You will not receive email notifications for subscription request status changes that you have initiated yourself (for example, when you approve a subscription).

• Important The subscriber information you collect through subscription verification must be used in accordance with AWS Marketplace Terms and Conditions.
