Publishing and finding data through Snowflake Marketplace listings

The Snowflake Marketplace allows providers to publish listings so consumers can discover and access shared data, applications, or AI products without any ETL or data movement, using Snowflake's Secure Data Sharing technology under the hood. Listings can be free or monetized, and consumers gain a live, read-only database in their own account that updates automatically as the provider's data changes. Providers manage listings through Snowsight and can target them publicly on the Marketplace or privately to specific accounts.

1 · Learn the must-know

• 1Listings are the mechanism used to publish shares on the Snowflake Marketplace, and providers can choose 'Standard' (public) or 'Personalized/Private' listings targeted at specific consumers.
• 2Data shared via listings requires no data copying or movement—consumers query a read-only, always-current database created directly from the provider's share in their own account.
• 3Cross-cloud and cross-region listings require Snowflake's auto-fulfillment feature, which automatically replicates the provider's data to the consumer's region/cloud platform.
• 4Providers can monetize listings by setting usage-based or flat-rate pricing, and Snowflake handles billing/payment via Snowflake Marketplace's integrated billing.
• 5Consumers do not need to be existing Snowflake customers to request a listing—non-Snowflake users can request access and are prompted to create a trial account.
• 6Listings can include not just tables/views but also secure UDFs, stored procedures, and Snowflake Native Apps, extending sharing beyond raw data to packaged application logic.
