Reseller API: Product and SKU IDs

In this version of the API, the API supports these Google products and related Stock Keeping Units (SKUs).

• G Suite
• Google Drive
• Google Vault
• Chrome Enterprise
• Cloud Identity Free Edition
• Cloud Identity Premium Edition

G Suite

G Suite 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 G Suite.

Things to note for the API's management of a G Suite subscription:

• Active Google Vault or Google Drive subscriptions must be cancelled before the associated G Suite subscription is suspended.
• If transferring a customer's G Suite 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.

Product ID	Product Name	SKU ID	SKU Name
Google-Apps	G Suite	1010020020	G Suite Enterprise
		Google-Apps-Unlimited	G Suite Business
		Google-Apps-For-Business	G Suite Basic
		1010060001	Drive Enterprise
		Google-Apps-Lite	G Suite Lite
		Google-Apps-For-Postini	Google Apps Message Security

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.

Note: When upgrading from Google-Apps-For-Business, if the customer has also Google-Drive-storage or Google-Vault subscriptions, those are cancelled. If present, a Google-Vault-Former-Employee subscription remains unaffected.

• 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.

Caution: G Suite Business and Enterprise include Google Vault service for all users. If the Vault data corpus is important to your customer, we recommend provisioning a Google-Vault SKU immediately after performing the downgrade. Please refer to this Help Center article for more details.

• 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.

This matrix sums up acceptable upgrade and downgrade paths.

• Contact your partner manager for more information if you want to resell Drive Enterprise

Postini SKU

• Google-Apps-For-Postini SKU may coexist with a customer's G Suite 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.

Note: Google-Apps-Unlimited subscriptions includes unlimited storage, and these SKUs are not necessary for those customers

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 G Suite 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 G Suite subscription. Customers must therefore accept G Suite 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 G Suite subscription is suspended.
• If transferring a customer's G Suite 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.

  • If the G Suite subscription is in a 30-day free trial plan when a Google Vault subscription is created for a user, the Google Vault subscription is in a 30-day free trial plan as well.
  • If the G Suite subscription is in a FLEXIBLE plan, a Google Vault subscription, previously not in a 30-day free trial, can be in a flexible or 30-day free trial plan.
• Active Google Vault subscriptions must be cancelled before the G Suite subscription can be suspended.
• If transferring a customer's G Suite subscription and an associated Google Vault subscription, use the batch operation. If you transfer each subscription one at a time, the transfer will result in an error.
