Required roles and privileges¶

Most tasks on this page require one of the following:

Access type	Requirement
Administrator access	ACCOUNTADMIN role
Delegated access	PURCHASE DATA EXCHANGE LISTING privilege + IMPORTED PRIVILEGES (grant privileges, privilege details)

The PURCHASE DATA EXCHANGE LISTING privilege grants the ability to purchase paid listings and is granted at the account level by an ACCOUNTADMIN. This privilege lets a role create a database from a paid listing and query paid or trial data in the database or application.

To cancel a purchase, you need the ACCOUNTADMIN role or a role with the OWNERSHIP privilege on the database created from the listing.

1. Prerequisites for purchasing paid listings¶

Before your organization purchases a paid Snowflake Marketplace listing, review the following requirements:

Any organization can pay for listings by using any of the accepted payment methods.
All purchases are billed in US dollars.
Taxes are calculated based on your organization’s shipping and billing addresses. This applies even if your organization has multiple locations or is international.
Snowflake Marketplace invoices are separate from invoices for other Snowflake services, storage, or usage.

Confirm your billing location is supported¶

Your organization can access paid listings only if the billing address registered to the account is in a supported country.

Note

Snowflake doesn’t support multiple billing entities for a single organization.

The following countries are supported:

Accept the combined Snowflake Provider and Consumer Terms¶

Before purchasing paid listings, an organization administrator must accept the combined Snowflake Provider and Consumer Terms. To learn more about organizations, see Working with organizations and accounts.

Sign in to Snowsight.
In the lower-left corner, select your name » Switch role » ORGADMIN.
Select Admin » Terms.
In the Snowflake Marketplace section, select Review.
If you agree to the terms, select Accept Terms & Conditions.

Note

If your organization intends to access only free listings, and you’ve accepted the Snowflake Customer-Controlled Data Sharing Functionality Terms, you don’t need to accept the Snowflake Provider and Consumer Terms.
If you see an error, your user profile might be missing some contact information. If you have an administrator role, see Add user details to your user profile to update your profile using Snowsight. Otherwise, contact an account administrator to update your user details.

2. Billing for listings and data products¶

Billing by pricing model¶

Each listing can have a different pricing model, which determines when and how you’re billed:

Pricing model	When you’re billed	What triggers charges
Usage-based	Monthly, only for months with usage	Queries, billable events, monthly fees, or a combination depending on the listing
Flat-fee	Upfront at the beginning of the billing term or access period	Access to the listing for the flat-fee term

Usage-based listings can include per-query charges, billable events, and monthly fees. Flat-fee listings charge upfront for a specified term and can be recurring or non-recurring.

For more information about pricing models, see Paid listings pricing models.

Billing by usage¶

For usage-based plans, a query can be billable when it accesses paid data, even if the query returns no rows.

Statement type	Billable?	Example
SELECT and DML (INSERT, MERGE)	Yes	Querying or modifying paid data
DDL that accesses data	Yes	CREATE TABLE AS SELECT on paid data
DDL without data access	No	CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE

Usage is tracked daily, so you can monitor your consumption in real time. However, billing is processed monthly. Usage charges are summed up and reflected in the monthly invoice.

3. Set up and manage payment methods¶

Snowflake supports credit card, bank transfer, and Marketplace Capacity Drawdown (MCD) Program funds for paid listings.

Payment method	How it works	What to know
MCD funds	Applied automatically when available for a listing. Falls back to another payment method if the listing isn’t MCD-compatible.	Marketplace Capacity Drawdown details.
Bank transfer (ACH or wire)	Pay invoices using a virtual bank account number (VBAN) attached to each invoice.	You must include the invoice number in the memo or reference line of the transfer.
Credit card	Charged automatically at the interval defined in the payment schedule.	No transaction fees for credit card payments on Snowflake Marketplace.

Use Marketplace Capacity Drawdown funds¶

Marketplace Capacity Drawdown lets eligible organizations use a reserved portion of their committed Snowflake capacity for Snowflake Marketplace purchases. To use this payment method, your organization must be enrolled in the program and the listing must support Marketplace Capacity Drawdown.

If Marketplace Capacity Drawdown is available for a listing, it appears on the purchase page. If it isn’t available, or you don’t want to use it for that purchase, choose another supported payment method.

For more information, see Marketplace Capacity Drawdown.

Pay by bank transfer or ACH¶

Each Snowflake Marketplace invoice includes a virtual bank account number (VBAN) confirmation as an attachment to the invoice email. The VBAN is provisioned by Stripe and allows Snowflake to accept bank transfers (ACH or wire) from your organization. Use the VBAN on the invoice to initiate the transfer from your bank.

Important

When paying by bank transfer, always include the invoice number (format SM-XXXXX) in the memo or reference line of the payment. Without the invoice number, Snowflake can’t match the transfer to your invoice, which may delay processing and result in overdue notices.

There are no transaction fees for credit card payments.
