Sell products from the AppDirect Network

If you have access to the AppDirect Network catalog, you can use your Marketplace Manager access to select products from it to sell on your marketplace. You can browse through the catalog, select products to sell, and publish them to your marketplace.

There are two types of Network Catalog products you can sell on your marketplace:

• Core products are automatically available for you to sell right away. These products appear with an Add to Staging button beside them.
• Community products are listed in the Network catalog, but they require that you have a separate arrangement with the product provider. These products appear with a Request to Add button beside them.
  You should discuss your arrangement with the provider before adding a Community product to your marketplace, and ensure that the provider notifies AppDirect to grant you access when you request it.

Once you have added a Network catalog product to your Staging catalog, you can make some local changes to it to fine-tune the marketing to appeal to your customers, and to adjust the pricing. For more information, see Customize product content and Customize product pricing.
