Google Workspace

Google Workspace offers a rich suite of business-grade hosted email and collaboration tools that can benefit any size organization. For more information, see the benefits of Google Workspace.

Things to note for the API's management of a Google Workspace subscription:

  • Active Google Vault or Google Drive subscriptions must be cancelled before the associated Google Workspace subscription is suspended.
  • If transferring a customer's Google Workspace subscription and an associated Google Vault or Google Drive subscription, use the batch operation. If you transfer each subscription one at a time, the transfer will result in an error.

Upgrades and Downgrades

  • For new customers, create a new subscription with the subscriptions.insert method.
  • You can upgrade a subscription using the subscriptions.insert method with the skuId that you want to upgrade to. It isn't possible to upgrade ANNUAL_YEARLY_PAY subscriptions, but you can switch to FLEXIBLE via the subscriptions.changeRenewalSettings method, then perform an adjustment after the renewal event.

  • You can downgrade a subscription using the subscriptions.insert method with the skuId that you want to downgrade to. It isn't possible to downgrade ANNUAL_MONTHLY_PAY and ANNUAL_YEARLY_PAY subscriptions during term, and it cannot be done via renewal settings: the downgrade must be done manually on or after renewal time. We recommend that you switch to FLEXIBLE via subscriptions.changeRenewalSettings, then perform an adjustment after the renewal event. See more details about downgrades on this Help Center article.

  • Transfer and SKU switch operations cannot be combined. For example, if you have a potential customer who is using Google-Apps-For-Business and wants to buy Google-Apps-Unlimited from you, you must transfer the customer first with the existing Google-Apps-For-Business SKU and then switch the SKU to Google-Apps-Unlimited.

  • Upgrades/downgrades start a new subscription and terminate the previous one. For annual plans, a new commitment starts when the call to subscriptions.insert is made.

Things to note for the management of Archived User subscriptions:

  • Contact your partner manager for more information if you want to resell Google Workspace Essentials

Postini SKU

  • Google-Apps-For-Postini SKU may coexist with a customer's Google Workspace SKU—even via the same reseller. However, Postini SKUs cannot be purchased, they are created when an existing Postini account is migrated.
  • When you are transferring a customer whose subscriptions include the Google-Apps-For-Postini SKU, then you must include this subscription.

G Suite Lite SKU

  • Google-Apps-Lite SKU can only be created by resellers when working in conjunction with a Google sales representative. Contact your partner manager for more information.
  • When you are transferring a customer whose subscriptions include the Google-Apps-Lite SKU, then you must include this subscription.

Google Drive

With Google Drive, you can access files, folders, and Google Docs from a web browser or any device where you've installed your Google Drive. No matter what happens to your devices, your files are safely stored in Google Drive. For more information about the Google Drive product, see the administrator help center.

Things to note for the API's management

  • This subscription is only available as a monthly post-pay FLEXIBLE plan, and in addition, the customer must first have an active Google Workspace subscription. It is not available for a 30-day free trial. For more information about payment plans, see API Concepts.
    • You can only add Google Drive to an ACTIVE status Google Workspace subscription. Customers must therefore accept Google Workspace terms of services before adding Google Drive.
    • You can only add Google Drive to a customer with a verified domain.
  • This product subscription is for all of the Google-Drive-storage product's SKUs. You are charged only for the assigned SKUs.
  • Since flexible plan accounts only pay for the services used during the month, a Google Drive subscription does not require updating the renewal settings.
  • Active Google Drive subscriptions must be cancelled before the Google Workspace subscription is suspended.
  • If transferring a customer's Google Workspace subscription and an associated Google-Drive-storage subscription, use the batch operation. If you transfer each subscription one at a time, the transfer will result in an error. This is especially true since creating a Google Drive subscription creates all of the product's SKUs and, when transferring a Google Drive SKU, all of these SKUs are transferred.
