Automated provisioning and fulfillment

Provision all applications on-demand, providing customers with immediate access to services as soon as they buy. If you’re selling physical products, automatically ship orders directly from the marketplace or connect to your existing fulfillment system.

Use a library of reports detailing user or subscription activity, invoices, payments, and more, or tailor reports to meet your unique business needs. Customize what you track, select data ranges and reporting frequency, and adjust the format of the downloadable reports.

Gain real-time visibility into data and analytics

Developer integrations

Build a powerful third-party ecosystem by arming developers with a comprehensive set of tools to build solutions for your marketplace. Offer state-of-the-art onboarding and management tools that automate integration testing, maintenance, marketing, and reporting.

Developer content management

Allow third-party developers to create and manage solutions on your marketplace. Developers create the product profile — a description, resources, and pricing and editions — and submit for publication. This approval step ensures you control your marketplace catalog.

Multiple product types

Developers can onboard a variety of products, including SaaS, domain, downloadable, web-based, and physical products. They can select their billing management model, such as one-time or recurring billing, as well as whether they offer a single or multi-user solution.

Release management

Enable developers to manage and deliver multiple versions of their products. Developers can use the versioning system to manage updates and changes in development and production environments. Once ready, they can easily push the product live with quick approval flows.

Vendor reconciliation and payouts

Set the price of your product and the AppMarket reconciliation engine will account for discounts and different rates by a vendor to parse out the amount owed to each party. Developers can use out-of-box payments gateways to receive their monthly revenue share payout.

Developer dashboards

AppMarket equips developers with sophisticated dashboards to track activity and success. It allows vendors to see how their applications are performing, from the number of subscriptions and order details (start date, billing periods, etc), to usage metrics, invoices, and payments.

Single sign-on

By signing in once, customers can launch all of their apps from a single destination, creating a seamless experience that minimizes frustration. AppMarket supports SSO industry standards SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

Central user administration

Empower your customers to manage products easily. User administrators access and manage all of their applications from one simple and secure site where they can invite new users, assign roles, assign apps, monitor service adoption and usage, and more.

Personalized notifications

Deliver the right message at the right time. The AppMarket notification engine allows you to personalize customer messaging, whether sent through email, SMS, or your existing email marketing tools using webhooks.

Target customer segments

Personalize the experience for each customer. Segment by business size, geography, value, and more. Select attributes and then set product visibility, recommendations, and other rules. You can even use any existing loyalty program membership lists.
