For data providers
Life after ArcGIS Marketplace
Esri retired the ArcGIS Marketplace storefront in March 2026, and back-end listing provisioning ends in March 2027 — with no replacement. If the Marketplace was how your data reached buyers, you need a new home for distribution, entitlements, and provisioning. That is what Profiva does.
March 2026 — storefront closed
The ArcGIS Marketplace front-end is no longer available. New buyers can't discover or purchase your listings through Esri.
Through March 2027 — provisioning winds down
Existing listing provisioning continues via the back-end only, then stops. Customer access you provision through Esri ends with it.
No successor announced
Esri is not replacing the Marketplace. Providers are expected to build or find their own distribution and provisioning.

Migrating takes three steps
Create a seller account
Sign up, complete identity review, and connect payouts (Stripe Connect, or Wise for non-Stripe countries). Most sellers are approved within 24 hours.
Upload and price your datasets
Vector (GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoPackage, CSV) and raster (GeoTIFF, Sentinel-2 SAFE) ingest with automatic previews, samples, tiles, and metadata. Price as one-time, subscription, or API access.
Move your buyers over
Buyers purchase self-serve or via quotes for enterprise terms. Entitlements, version updates, delivery to their S3 buckets, and usage metering are handled by the platform.
Frequently asked
Is Profiva affiliated with Esri?
No. Profiva is an independent, platform-neutral marketplace. ArcGIS is a compatibility target — entitled buyers get a connection file for ArcGIS Pro and standards-based OGC / STAC APIs — but nothing about your listing depends on the Esri ecosystem.
Do my buyers need an ArcGIS license to use my data?
No. Data is delivered as files (GeoJSON, GeoPackage, Shapefile, CSV, GeoParquet, GeoTIFF), via OGC API Features and STAC, through QGIS layer files, or replicated straight into the buyer's own S3 bucket. ArcGIS Pro is one supported consumer among many.
How do recurring data updates work?
Datasets are versioned. Publish a new version and subscribers get it automatically — with changelogs, computed file deltas, webhook notifications, and optional delivery to their cloud storage. One-time buyers keep the version they purchased.
What does Profiva cost?
Free to list. Profiva keeps a platform fee on each transaction; you set your own prices and keep the rest. See the pricing page for details.
Can I keep my existing enterprise agreements?
Yes — the quotes workflow supports custom pricing and terms for enterprise buyers, alongside self-serve checkout for everyone else. Per-dataset licensing (commercial or open licenses like CC-BY) is shown on every listing.
