Delete a product

This article describes steps to deprecate a published Google Cloud Marketplace product. After you deprecate a product, the product's Cloud Marketplace listing is permanently deleted, and customers can't purchase, subscribe to, or deploy the product.

Caution: For virtual machine (VM) and Kubernetes products, after you delete your product from Cloud Marketplace, customers can't update their existing deployments or create new deployments of your product, but your customers' current active deployments aren't affected by the deletion.

Request deprecation of your product

To request deprecation of a product that you offer through Cloud Marketplace, complete the following steps:

1. In Producer Portal, navigate to your product's Cloud Marketplace listing.

2. Click to begin editing your published product.

3. Click the button. In the dropdown menu that appears, select Deprecate product.

4. Fill out the form that appears. You must include the following information:

   • The date on which you want your product to be deprecated.

     Note: This date must be at least 180 days after the date that you fill out the form to request deprecation of your product.

   • The reason that you want to deprecate your product. Your customers don't see what you input here.

5. Under Confirm decision, in the text input field, type the listing ID of the product that you want to deprecate, and then click Submit deprecation request.

After you've submitted a deprecation request, it might take up to five business days for Google to review your request. After your request is reviewed, Google sends you a response.

Request to hide a product

In unusual cases where you want to hide your product from public Cloud Marketplace search results, but still allow customers to access it by visiting the URL of its product listing, you can request to turn off product searchability.

We recommend that you don't turn off product searchability. The Cloud Marketplace team individually reviews all requests to turn off product searchability.

Note: If you want to offer custom quotes to your customers, instead of creating multiple hidden listings for your product, you can use Private Offers for Cloud Marketplace.

To request to turn off product searchability, complete the following steps:

1. In Producer Portal, navigate to your product's Cloud Marketplace listing.

2. Click to begin editing your product's listing, and navigate to the Product details page.

3. Under Product metadata, click the Product searchable toggle to turn off product searchability.
