Marketplace application requirements:

2. Deployment – the application must be loaded in the Developer worspace on the Marketplace, in the [Installed applications] section. An application can be a Creatio package (*.GZ file) or an archive (*.ZIP file) with several packages. Before uploading your application, make sure that:

  • A single file is uploaded.
  • The uploaded file (package or ZIP) contains all functions required for proper operation of your application on supported Creatio configurations. I.e., additional setup of “base” or prerequisite packages is not required.
  • Creatio package names remain unchanged and are the same as they were when packages were downloaded from the production environment.
  • If a ZIP archive is downloaded, it cannot contain any folders. All *.GZ filed in the ZIP archive must be located in the archive’s root catalog.

3. Compatibility – the product must be compatible with Creatio products and versions specified as compatible during registration. Complete the following sequence for all applications:

  • Deploy a free 14-day trial Creatio application (available here: https://www.creatio.com/trial/creatio).
  • Install the application from a zip archive. The setup procedure for Marketplace applications is covered in the “Installing Marketplace applications from a zip archive” article.
  • After installing the application, log in to your Creatio trial. If errors were encountered during the setup, or you are unable to log in to Creatio after installing the application, it will not pass verification and cannot be published on Creatio marketplaece.

4. Licensing – unless distributed for free, Marketplace applications must have one of the available licensing models (see “Marketplace application licensing”).
