This article explains all the prerequisites and project setup instructions required to integrate your SaaS product with Google Cloud Marketplace and the necessary project access details specific to SaaSify.

Prerequisites

• To integrate your SaaS product with Google Cloud Marketplace, your organization must be approved as a Google Cloud Build partner. For more information on this, please refer to https://cloud.google.com/marketplace/docs/partners/get-started#requirements.  

• The rest of the document assumes that your organization has completed the above-mentioned prerequisite, and your organization is a Google Cloud Build partner.

Creation of project

To add your SaaS products to Google Cloud Marketplace, it is recommended that you create a new project for the GCP marketplace listing. This section explains the steps to create a new project.

Info: If a project is already set up for GCP marketplace listing purposes in your organization, please skip the below new project creation steps and proceed with enabling the Compute Engine API.

To create a new project in GCP Cloud Console, do the following:

1. Go to the Manage resources page - https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager

2. Click Create Project.

3. In the New Project window that appears, enter a project name in the format <partnercompanyname>-public (please refer to https://cloud.google.com/marketplace/docs/partners/integrated-saas/set-up-environment#creating_your_workspace for project naming convention).

4. By default, Project ID will be automatically generated based on the project name. Still, you can customize it during the initial setup by clicking Edit, as it cannot be updated later.

5. Select an Organization to attach it to a project. This selection can't be changed later.

6. Select the parent organization or folder in the Location box.

7. Click Create. This will create a new project under the selected organization.
