Charge consumers for access to listings within Snowflake. See Provide Paid Listings.

Sign into Snowsight.
At the top of the left navigation bar, select the user menu and select the ORGADMIN role.
In the left navigation bar, select Data » Provider Studio
Under Share data with Snowflake customers, click Review Provider Terms & Conditions. The Terms & Conditions for Providers window appears.

Note

If you see an error when attempting to accept the terms of service, your user profile might be missing a first name, last name, or email address. Contact an account administrator to update your account. If you have an administrator role, see Setting User Details and Preferences to update your profile using Snowsight.

See Legal Requirements for Providers and Consumers of Listings for more details.

Set Up a Provider Profile¶

To offer listings to consumers privately, or on the Snowflake Marketplace, set up a provider profile in Provider Studio. You do not need a provider profile to offer free private listings.

You only need to create a provider profile one time. You can create multiple provider profiles for one account.

Before you can create a provider profile, someone in your Snowflake account must review and accept the Provider Terms of Service. See Review and Accept the Provider Terms of Service.

Note

You must use the ACCOUNTADMIN role or a role granted the CREATE DATA EXCHANGE LISTING privilege to complete these steps.

To create a provider profile, do the following:

Sign into Snowsight.
In the left navigation bar, select Data » Provider Studio.
In Provider Studio, select Profiles.
Select + Profile to create a profile. A dialog box appears.
In the Create Profiles dialog box, complete the fields. All fields are required. For a description of the fields, see Provider Profile Fields.
Select Next, then verify that your profile details are correct.
Select Submit for Approval, or click Save Draft if you want to review your profile details before submitting it for approval.

Your provider profile must be approved before you can offer paid listings or marketplace listings. For your profile to be approved, Snowflake verifies the following:

You have reviewed and accepted the Provider Terms of Service.
Your profile abides by the Snowflake Provider Policies.

See Legal Requirements for Providers and Consumers of Listings

Provide Paid Listings¶

To publish paid listings to consumers privately or on the Snowflake Marketplace, you must set up a Stripe Express account associated with Snowflake to receive payments. You cannot use an existing Stripe account.

Stripe is the online payment processing system used by Snowflake to transfer money collected from consumers who use your paid listings. Payments collected from consumers are disbursed to your Stripe account for Snowflake Marketplace within 30 days of Snowflake receiving payment from the consumer.

Set up Stripe to Get Paid for Listings¶

When you set up a Stripe Express account, you need to provide information about your business so that Stripe can verify your business details. The person that sets up the Stripe account must also set up multi-factor authentication to set up and manage the Stripe account.

To set up a payout method with Stripe to get paid for listings, do the following:

Sign into Snowsight.
Select Admin » Billing & Terms.
In the Snowflake Marketplace section, next to Payout Method, select Set up Stripe account.
Complete the required information to create and set up your Stripe account.

After you set up your Stripe account and provide a payout method, the Billing & Terms page reports the current status of the method. The following table describes the different statuses:

Status	Description
Pending verification	Stripe is in the process of verifying your payout method.
Completed & verified	Your payout method has been verified by Stripe. If you have already accepted the Marketplace terms, you are ready to sell products and collect payments.
Incomplete account information	There is an issue with your Stripe account. The web interface provides additional details about the exact issue and how to resolve the problem.
Rejected	Stripe has rejected your payout method. A valid payout method needs to be provided.

If you encounter issues with setting up Stripe or receiving payments, submit a case with Marketplace Operations.
