SaaS product lifecycle
When you create a SaaS product in AWS Marketplace, it's initially published with limited visibility so that only your account can access it. When you're ready, you can publish it to the AWS Marketplace catalog to allow buyers to subscribe and purchase your product.
On the SaaS product page, you can view the list of your products. Depending on its stage in the product lifecycle, the product will have one of the following statuses:
-
Staging – An incomplete product for which you're still adding information. At the first Save and exit from the self-service experience, the successful change request creates an unpublished product with information from the completed steps that you submitted. From this status, you can continue adding information to the product or change already submitted details through change requests.
-
Limited – A product is complete after it is submitted to the system and passes all validation in the system. Then the product is released to a Limited status. At this point, the product has a detail page that is only accessible to your account and whoever you have allowlisted. You can test your product through the detail page. For more information or help, contact the AWS Marketplace Seller Operations
team. -
Public – When you're ready to publish the product so that buyers can view and subscribe to the product, you use the Update visibility change request. This request initiates a workflow for the AWS Marketplace Seller Operations team to review and audit your product against AWS policies. After the product is approved and the change request is processed, the product is moved from a status of Limited to Public. For information about AWS guidelines, see SaaS product guidelines.
-
Restricted – If you want to stop new users from subscribing to your product, you can restrict the product by using the Update visibility change request. A Restricted status means that existing users can continue to use the product. However, the product will no longer be visible to the public or be available to new users.
You can update your product at the Staging, Limited, and Public statuses. For more information, see Updating product information.
