About committed capacity and Snowflake Marketplace Capacity Drawdown¶

MCD enrollment¶

To enroll in the Snowflake Marketplace Capacity Drawdown (MCD) program, your organization must have or create a committed capacity contract with Snowflake and your business (based on billing and shipping addresses) must be in an area where MCD is available. For a list of supported locations, see MCD limitations.

By default, your organization can allocate up to 5% of its total capacity commitment, capped at $50,000 USD, to MCD. For example, if your capacity commitment is $1 million, you can allocate up to $50,000 for Snowflake Marketplace purchases. Exceptions can be made for large purchases.

Consumers must be enrolled in the MCD program to use MCD resources for purchases. However, the provider of the listing doesn’t need to be enrolled.

If you’re interested in enrolling in the MCD program, contact your Snowflake Account Executive. If your organization is not in a location where the MCD program is supported, contact your Snowflake Account Executive and let them know that you’re interested in joining the program. Although they cannot make exceptions to these restrictions, Snowflake Marketplace Operations maintains a list of requests for future areas of development.
