Turn on Private Marketplace

This page describes how to turn on Google Private Marketplace for your organization's users.

If you want to share collections (curated lists of approved products) (i.e. collections) with users in your organization, you must turn on Private Marketplace.

After you turn on Private Marketplace, your organization's private marketplace is the default marketplace experience for your users. Google Private Marketplace shows all products to your users and restricts access to unapproved products (via the UI) that are in the collections that are shared with them. Your users can still choose to navigate to and access the public marketplace.

Before you begin

  • Create a collection, and add products to it.

  • Share your collections with your organization's users. If a user has no collections shared with them, they see an empty marketplace until they navigate to the public marketplace.

  • Optionally, if strict user access restriction is turned on, ensure that all of your organization's users and administrators who must interact with your organization's private marketplace, have the necessary Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and permissions.
