Enable an Individual Data Marketplace Segment
To sell your Data Marketplace segments, download a Data Marketplace segment metadata file via Connect, update the file, and then upload it back to Connect. You can provide this information for a number of segments at one time via a Data Marketplace segment metadata file that you download via Connect, update, and then upload back to Connect.
To sell your Data Marketplace segments, LiveRamp needs some additional information on those segments (such as segment name, permitted use cases, and price).
You can provide this information for a number of segments at one time via a Data Marketplace segment metadata file that you download via Connect, update, and then upload back to Connect.
However, if you only need to enable a small number of segments, you can update and enable each Data Marketplace segment individually.
Note
Only some types of information can be added individually (for example, you can't block an advertiser from accessing the segment in the Data Marketplace with this method). For more control over the metadata for your Data Marketplace segments, use the segment metadata file.
After you've successfully enabled the segment and it has gone through our privacy review, the segment will be available in the Data Marketplace and can be distributed to a destination.
Caution
You can also use this method to edit the segment information for segments that have not been previously distributed. However, to avoid pricing discrepancies, once you’ve distributed a Data Marketplace segment to another destination platform, you cannot edit the pricing information for that segment. For segments that have been previously distributed, the pricing fields (including the "Currency" field) are not editable.
See "Edit Existing Data Marketplace Segment Information" for more information on how to edit segment information for segments that have been distributed.
Steps to Enable an Individual Segment
To enable an individual Data Marketplace segment:
From the Data Marketplace navigation menu, click Sell Data to navigate to the Data Marketplace - My Segments page, or click the Sell Data tile from the Welcome page.
Click the ellipses next to the desired segment.
From the window that opens, edit the following:
Segment Name
Caution
If the beginning of the segment name doesn't start with your correct data seller name (or an approved alias), your updates cannot be saved. Make sure to enter your correct data seller name (or an approved alias) at the beginning of every segment name. See "Using Aliases in Segment Names" for more information on aliases and "View Data Marketplace Contract Information" for instructions on viewing any approved aliases for your account.
For segments being distributed to Facebook: Segment names cannot be longer than 108 characters after adding the number of characters in your data seller name.
Description
Caution
Make sure to include appropriate segment descriptions for all segments (both standard segments and custom segments). Segments that do not have segment descriptions will fail the segment review and approval process. For more information, see "Data Marketplace Segment Review and Approval".
Avoid special characters (aside from "&", which is allowed) and line breaks/carriage returns in segment descriptions.
Keep segment descriptions to 245 characters or less.

Pricing
Note
There are three possible pricing models that data sellers can use for their Data Marketplace segments (see "Data Marketplace Pricing Options" for more information):
Programmatic Standard: This is the pricing model used by most programmatic platforms that are not part of our Advertiser Direct program and who do not use hybrid pricing. The fields you need to fill out will depend on the use cases you select. Enter all prices as positive (non-zero) numbers up to two decimal places. See "Data Marketplace Permitted Use Cases" for more information.
Programmatic Hybrid: This pricing model is only used for segments distributing to The Trade Desk. that have a programmatic standard CPM of less than $5. Hybrid pricing means that segments are billed at the Programmatic percentage of media entered unless that amount exceeds the CPM cap entered. Enter all prices as positive (non-zero) numbers up to one decimal place.
Advertiser Direct: This pricing model is used for LiveRamp's Advertiser Direct platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and TikTok. Segments distributed to these platforms are billed at the Advertiser Direct percentage of media entered. Enter all prices as whole (no decimal places), positive (non-zero) numbers.
Permitted Use Cases (see "Data Marketplace Permitted Use Cases" for more information)
Note
To avoid pricing discrepancies, once you’ve distributed a Data Marketplace segment to another destination platform, you cannot edit the pricing information for that segment. For segments that have been previously distributed, the pricing fields (including the "Currency" field) are not editable.
See "Edit Existing Data Marketplace Segment Information" for more information on how to edit segment information for segments that have been distributed.
