Manage Marketplace listings

Level: beginner

Creatio partners use Creatio Marketplace Console to create and manage Marketplace listings for their solutions. The console is available in the Success Portal and includes the following sections:

  • Public profiles — manage partner profile information displayed on Creatio Marketplace.
  • Marketplace listings — manage listings and their revisions.
  • Cases — communicate with Creatio Marketplace support.

A Marketplace listing represents a solution on Creatio Marketplace. The listing contains information that helps users understand the value of the solution, such as the description, key features, screenshots, pricing, compatibility details, and installation instructions.

Each listing is managed using revisions. A revision is a specific version of the listing content and the Marketplace solution file. Developers update the listing by creating new revisions. Only one revision can be published at a time.

View the Marketplace listings section in the figure below.

Listing and revision lifecycles

Creatio Marketplace Console uses related lifecycle models: one for the Marketplace listing and one for its revisions.

The listing lifecycle describes the publication state of the listing on Creatio Marketplace. Listing statuses determine whether the listing is visible to Marketplace users.

The table below describes each listing status and explains how it is set.

Status

Description

Idea

The initial status of the Marketplace listing. The listing is created in Marketplace Console and is not visible on Creatio Marketplace. Set automatically when a new listing is created in Creatio Marketplace Console.

Coming soon

The listing becomes visible on Creatio Marketplace with the "Coming soon" badge after the initial review, provided that no critical issues are identified. Additional updates are still required before full publication. Set by Creatio Marketplace support.

Published

The listing is available on Creatio Marketplace. Set by Creatio Marketplace support.

Unpublished

The listing is removed from Creatio Marketplace and is no longer visible to users. Set by Creatio Marketplace support.

While listing statuses describe the publication state of the listing itself, the revision lifecycle describes how changes to the listing are managed. Revision statuses describe the current state of that version.

The table below describes each revision status and explains how it is set.

Status

Description

Draft

The initial status of the revision. New or updated listing information is added but is not yet available on Creatio Marketplace. Set automatically when a new listing is created in Creatio Marketplace Console or when a new revision is created to update a published listing.

Review

The developer sends the revision for review. Creatio Marketplace support reviews the revision and verifies compatibility of the uploaded solution files and listing resources according to the requirements. Set by the Marketplace developer.

Updates required

Creatio Marketplace support identified issues during the review process that must be fixed before the revision can be approved. The issues may relate to the Marketplace listing resources or the Marketplace solution requirements. Set by Creatio Marketplace support.

Approved

The revision passed review and can be published on Creatio Marketplace. Set by Creatio Marketplace support.

Archived

A previously published revision that was replaced by a newer approved revision or archived when the listing is removed from publication. Archived revisions remain available in the revision history. The status is set automatically once a new revision is approved.
