Managing users

You can view the list of your users on the Developer's administrators page. There you can also add or remove users.

Setting up a payment method

The next step on the way to start selling is to add a payment method. You can choose one of the proposed payment methods in the menu Administration → Payment methods. We recommend using the featured payment methods, as they do not require additional customization and guarantee convenience and security. 

Direct payment mode is also available on the marketplace: money from customers goes directly to your accounts. You can choose and set up this method in the same menu Administration → Payment methods. Please note that this payment method can negatively affect the conversion and purchase probability, as some customers might find it insecure. 

Adding products

Now that the Vendor's page is ready, you can proceed to add products. You can create, view and edit products in the Products → Products menu. Find more detailed information in the article How to Submit a New Product. 

Please note that your company will remain on moderation until at least one product has been added. 

Viewing orders

Your orders can be viewed and edited in the Orders → View orders menu. To learn detailed information about the order click on it. You can also use the API Key to integrate orders with your own services.

Viewing issued licenses

To prevent unauthorized use, a unique license is created for each purchase of your product. To view it, you need to go to the Orders → Licenses menu. There you can also change the expiration time of an upgrade subscription for a license.

Commission payment

The marketplace charges a commission for publishing and selling your products. On the main page of the Developer account, your current balance is displayed in the upper left part of the screen. To pay it, click the Pay the debt button. 

We remind you that:

• If your commission debt reaches the threshold set in your pricing plan, your access to the Developer account will be blocked. 
• After the end of the trust period, your products will be deactivated.
