Add add-on products

This section describes how to add a new product. From the Create New Product page, you name your product and choose a service type, sometimes a product type if more than one option is enabled, integration type, usage model, and revenue model for it.

The procedure to create add-on products is similar to the procedure to create products because add-ons are a type of product.

The procedure to create a Manual Web App add-on product is different. For more information, see Create Manual Web App add-ons.

To create add-ons

1. Click Manage > Billing and Distribution > Products > Add Products. The Create New Product page opens.
2. Enter a name for this new add-on. This is the name that marketplace customers and Company Administrators see when they purchase your product and when they use and manage subscriptions for it.
3. Select Add-on for Product service type.
4. (Optional) Select Stacked Editions Web App product type if you want to create a stackable add-on.
5. Select one of the usage model options. The usage model defines how user accounts for the application are managed. The usage model cannot be changed after the product is created.
   • Single User—Allows only one user account to access and use the product. Typically, user access to the product is managed by Company Administrators.
   • Multiple Users—Allows multiple user accounts to access and use the product. Typically, Company Administrators assign products to users.
6. Select one of the Revenue Model options to determine how you charge for the add-on. The revenue model can be changed after the product is created. For detailed descriptions of the revenue models, see Edit revenue models.
   • Free—Add-on requires no payment. It is free of charge.
   • One time—Add-on requires one payment in full.
   • Recurring—Add-on requires multiple payments on a developer-defined schedule, for example, monthly.
   • Tiered—Add-on is offered to customers at different prices based on different billing frequencies. The options can also vary by contract terms, volume discounts, etc.
7. Select I agree to the distribution terms and conditions, and then click Create Product. The add-on product is created and appears on the Product Dashboard.
   From the Product Dashboard, you can edit the add-on description, connections, integration, and use the Product Setting features to transfer product settings between AppDirect environments such as test and live environments. For more information, see Edit add-ons.
