Release of the Creatio Marketplace Console​

Update date:

We are excited to introduce the Creatio Marketplace Console, a powerful and streamlined tool designed to enhance your experience in managing your Marketplace listings.

The Creatio Marketplace Console, an integral part of the Success Portal, was created to offer you a more convenient and efficient way to manage the entire lifecycle of your Marketplace listings.

In the next few weeks, Creatio will seamlessly migrate all Marketplace apps to the Creatio Marketplace Console. You will receive a separate email notification that contains all the necessary details about this transition.

Composable pricing model​

Update date:

The new pricing model complements composable Creatio architecture by giving users the maximum degree of freedom. The flexible platform plans introduced in the model can be combined with any Creatio app and product. The Basic Support package is now included in the Creatio product subscription. We have also extended subscription to the Marketplace partner program, meaning the price of paid apps published on the Creatio Marketplace includes the Basic Support package as well. The new pricing model is active since July 20, 2023. Learn more about the model on the Creatio website.

Configure the Marketplace app for Customer 360 and Case Management compatibility​

.NET 6 support​

Update date:

Support for .NET Core 3.1 will be retired in Creatio version 8.0.9. If your Marketplace app used to support .NET Core 3.1 and deployment on Linux, we recommend migrating your Marketplace app to .NET 6 when updating Creatio to version 8.0.9. Learn more about the migration procedure in separate articles: Move Creatio .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6, Framework compatibility, .NET 6 server.

Configure the Marketplace app for composable architecture compatibility​

Update date:

We revamped the package architecture in Creatio 8.0.6 and named the new architecture composable package architecture. In the future, Creatio is going to transition to composable package architecture. During the transition period, existing Creatio instances include both composable and classic package architectures after updating to version 8.0.6 and later. Learn more about changes to package architecture in a separate article: Composable package architecture.

Therefore, configure your Marketplace app for composable architecture compatibility to ensure the app operates as expected after the transition to composable architecture.
