Create Manual Web App products

Manual Web App products are similar to Web Apps except the integration is completed manually with email notifications and a Marketplace Manager or Developer marks the provisioning as completed. There is no API integration.

📝 Note: AppDirect must enable some settings. Contact your AppDirect technical representative for more information.

To create a Manual Web App product

📝 Note: If the AppDirect logo appears in the upper-left corner of the page, when Manage > Billing and Distribution, or Manage > Developer appears in this topic, click the grid icon > Switch to | Distribution, instead.

📝 Note: If the AppDirect logo appears in the upper-left corner of the page, when Manage > Marketplace appears in this topic, click the grid icon > Switch to | Store, instead.

1. Go to Manage > Billing and Distribution > Products > Add Products. The Create New Product page opens.
2. Enter the product name. This is the name that marketplace customers and Company Administrators see when they shop for and purchase your product, and when they use and manage the product.
3. Select the following:
   1. Standalone product for service type.
   2. Web Application (manual setup) for product type.
      Important: After you create a product, the product type cannot be changed.
   3. Full Integration for integration type.
   4. Multiple Users for the usage model.
   5. Recurring for the revenue model.
4. Click to agree to the distribution terms and conditions.
5. Click Create Product. The product appears on the Product Dashboard. When you add a product, the system sets some default configurations. For example, while you cannot enter a product price on the Create new product page, the system sets a default price. After you create the product, you can edit all settings.
6. Configure the developer notification email address. See Manual web app integration settings.
   1. Go to Manage > Billing and Distribution > Products > productName | Edit.
   2. On the left menu, click Integration | Edit Integration.
   3. Add a developer notification email address and click Save.
7. Request publication of the product, see Publish products.
   1. Go to Manage > Billing and Distribution > Products > productName | Edit.
   2. Click Publish.

When these steps are completed, the Manual Web App product is available for purchase on the marketplace. When a user purchases this product, the marketplace sends an email to the developer notification email address. The Marketplace Manager must manually resolve the pending event. Such pending events are resolved at Manage > Marketplace > Dashboard > Events | Event Logs. For more information, see View and resolve pending events.

Marketplace Managers and Developers can view and complete pending integration events at Manage > Billing and Distribution > Integration Events. See Manage integration events.

Marketplace Managers and Developers can also create Manual Web App add-ons on a marketplace. For more information, see Create Manual Web App add-ons.
