Work with seller products

You can use the AWS Marketplace Catalog API to automate tasks for working with seller products. This includes the ability to create, update, view, list, and sort products. This enables you to automate product management. For example, you can provide self-service publishing capabilities on the AWS Marketplace Management Portal.

A product is a unit or resource that you intend to sell in AWS Marketplace, often referred to as a base product. Buyers can't consume a base product until you add product information, deployment attributes, and billing information.

A product describes the product information, software deployment attributes, and billing mechanism of the listing that you intend to sell. The product must be paired with an offer to become a transactable unit that you can sell and buyers can use in AWS Marketplace.

You can also use the AWS Marketplace Catalog API to:

Each product type has a different product entity. An entity can be a product or an offer on AWS Marketplace. The following product types and entities are supported:

This chapter assumes that you have access to the API and have completed any seller prerequisites, as described in the Access control for the AWS Marketplace Catalog API topic.

See the following resources:

The following topics describe how to use the Catalog API to perform actions on your single-AMI products, container-based products, or SaaS products.

Create a product

You can use the Catalog API to create an AMI, container, or SaaS product document with identifiers (product code and product ID) in AWS Marketplace.

You create a product in Draft state by calling the StartChangeSet API operation with the CreateProduct change type.

If your request is processed successfully, then AWS Marketplace Catalog API generates a product in Draft state for you. This is an incomplete product and isn’t visible to buyers in AWS Marketplace.

You then use Update change types to complete the create product process: UpdateInformation, UpdateDimensions, UpdateTargeting, and UpdateVisibility.

After the product is completed, you can use the ReleaseProduct change type to complete the product creation process, and then release the offer. This process validates the entire product and moves the product to the Limited state.

To create a product in Draft state, call the StartChangeSet API operation with the CreateProduct change type, as shown in the following example.

Request Syntax

POST /StartChangeSet HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
"Catalog": "AWSMarketplace",
"ChangeSet": [ 
  { 
    "ChangeType":"CreateProduct",
    "Entity":{
      "Type": "SaaSProduct@1.0" // choose from ["AmiProduct@1.0", "ContainerProduct@1.0", "SaaSProduct@1.0"]
     },
     "DetailsDocument": {
        "ProductTitle": "Test product title set in CreateProduct"
     }
  }
]
}

Provide information for the fields to add the CreateProduct change type. This change type can take in ProductTitle attribute, subject to the same restrictions as that sent into UpdateInformation change type.

Response Syntax

A change set is created for your request. The response to this request gives you the ChangeSetId and ChangeSetArn for the change set and looks like the following.

{
  "ChangeSetId": "example123456789012abcdef",
   "ChangeSetArn": "arn:aws:aws-marketplace:us-east-1:123456789012:AWSMarketplace/ChangeSet/example123456789012abcdef"
}

The change request is added to a queue and processed.

You can check the status of the request through the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, or directly through Catalog API using the DescribeChangeSet API operation.

When the request is complete (if the Status is SUCCEEDED), a new ProductId is generated.

Synchronous Validations

The following schema validations are specific to CreateProduct actions in the AWS Marketplace Catalog API. These validations are performed when you call StartChangeSet. If the request doesn’t meet the following requirements, it will fail with an HTTP response.

Asynchronous Errors

The following errors are specific to CreateProduct actions in the AWS Marketplace Catalog API. These errors are returned when you call DescribeChangeSet after a change set is processing. For more details about using DescribeChangeSet to get the status of a change request, see Working with change sets.

Update product details

If you already have a product in AWS Marketplace, you can use the Catalog API to update the product details for an AMI, container, or SaaS product.

To update product details, call the StartChangeSet API operation with the UpdateInformation change type and the details that you want to change, as shown in the following example.

Request Syntax

POST /StartChangeSet HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
  "Catalog": "AWSMarketplace",
  "ChangeSet":

For more information about using DescribeChangeSet to get the status of a change request, see Working with change sets.

Add pricing dimensions

You can use the AWS Marketplace Catalog API to add billable pricing dimensions that enable you to charge users for AMI, container, or SaaS products.

A pricing dimension is a unit of measure that sellers define for charging buyers. Sellers must set up this information to bill buyers for using the product, whether it’s a usage-based or contract-based pricing model. The type of dimension depends on the product’s pricing model.

For more information about product pricing, see the following topics in the AWS Marketplace Seller Guide:

Update pricing dimensions

You can use the Catalog API to update existing pricing dimensions of an AMI, container, or SaaS product in AWS Marketplace.

Each dimension is uniquely identified by the dimension key and dimension types to perform the update. Updating a dimension doesn’t affect any active offer or customers that the original dimension had created.

To update pricing dimensions, call the StartChangeSet API operation with the UpdateDimensions change type, as shown in the following example.

Change set status and errors

Making changes to seller products in the AWS Marketplace Catalog API involves creating change sets that describe the changes you want to make, and then using the StartChangeSet action to start the changes. The changes from the request can take minutes to hours or longer to complete, depending on the request. The response to this request looks like the following.

{
    "ChangeSetId": "example123456789012abcdef",
    "ChangeSetArn": "arn:aws:aws-marketplace:us-east-1:123456789012:AWSMarketplace/ChangeSet/example123456789012abcdef"
}

The change request is added to a queue and processed, including scanning the files and information to ensure that it meets the AWS Marketplace guidelines for products. Depending on the change requests, this process can take a few minutes to days. You can check the status of the request through the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, or in the Catalog API with the DescribeChangeSet action. For more information about change sets, see Working with change sets.

To check the status of your request, use the DescribeChangeSet action.

The Status field shows the current status of the request, in this case, SUCCEEDED.

If there are failures, the result can include two types of errors. For most errors, the error message is included directly. However, errors found while scanning the product for security vulnerabilities instead include a URL to a file that lists all of the errors found, in the ErrorMessage field. Errors found while scanning have the ErrorCode "SCAN_ERROR".
