Use GCP Annual Prepaid
The EMQX Platform offers subscriptions from the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Marketplace with the annual prepaid billing model. This page introduces how to subscribe to the EMQX Platform via GCP Marketplace.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure the following requirements are met:
- An active Google Cloud Marketplace account is required. You can use the EMQX Platform with your existing Google Cloud billing and available credits.
- To make a purchase, you must be logged in to the Google Cloud Marketplace and your project must be enabled for purchase by your billing administrator.
Subscribe to EMQX Platform via GCP Marketplace
Contact EMQX sales to request a quote for the annual prepaid EMQX Platform subscription via GCP Marketplace. You will receive a private offer link from the EMQX sales team.
Check your email for the private offer link sent by the EMQX sales team.
Use the provided link to view the private offer on GCP Marketplace. Review the terms of use carefully, and click Accept.
After subscribing, click GO TO PRODUCT PAGE to proceed to the EMQX Platform.
Note:
The dialog may indicate a "Pay as you Go" subscription, but it applies to a Commitments account.
Set up an EMQX account.
- If you are already signed in to an existing EMQX account, you are automatically redirected to the index page. A modal will display the status of linking to your GCP Billing Account.
- If you are not already signed in to an existing EMQX account, you are prompted to sign in to an EMQX account. Upon successful sign-in, you are automatically redirected to the index page. A modal will display the status of linking to your GCP Billing Account.
Wait for GCP to finish syncing. The EMQX Platform index page displays a pop-up notifying you of the account's syncing status. Additionally, the Payment Method field of the Billing page will change to "GCP Marketplace Subscription" when the sync is complete.
Once your account is successfully linked and synced, the annual prepaid setup process is complete.
Contact EMQX sales to confirm your offer status.
The EMQX operations team will configure your account and annual deployments.
Important
The following situations may cause a failure in account linking.
- The EMQX account already has a credit card set up.
- The EMQX account uses Available Credit.
- The EMQX account has already been linked to an EMQX product from the Marketplace.
- The EMQX account has vouchers and no unpaid bills.
- Each GCP billing account can only be used to subscribe to one EMQX Platform service through the GCP Marketplace at a time.
If you still encounter a problem, please submit a ticket to get help.

The procedure for canceling orders is the same as for the pay-as-you-go model. For details, refer to Unlink a GCP Billing Account from EMQX Platform.
