Marketplace

Turn what you built into something people buy

If you have solved a problem well for one client, you have probably solved it for a hundred companies you have never met. The marketplace lets you publish any of the four template families as a product, and handles the commercial machinery so you are not building a storefront instead of building software.

Selling

What the platform handles for you

Read the selling guide

Products and versions

A product with a version history, so buyers can see what changed and you can supersede without abandoning existing customers.

Offers and pricing

One-time or recurring, with the pricing structure attached to the offer rather than hard-coded into the product.

Checkout and entitlements

Payment is collected and the entitlement is recorded. What a buyer is allowed to install is enforced, not assumed.

Payouts

Revenue is paid out through Stripe Connect, with the tax and compliance surface handled there.

Buying

Install with the provenance intact

Buying from the marketplace should not mean trusting a stranger's zip file.

Bundles and standalone products

A product can be a single artifact or a bundle of components with a defined install order and required parts.

Install preview

See what a product will add to your application before you commit to installing it.

Installation revisions

Every install is recorded as a revision, so you can trace what arrived, when, and from which version.

Version pinning

You install the version you bought. A newer release does not silently replace it underneath you.

What can be sold

All four families

A marketplace product wraps any of the template types, and can bundle several together — a blueprint with the appliance it depends on and the harness pack that makes it useful in that industry.

Common questions

Questions about this

Who can sell?

Any builder on the platform. Becoming a seller means setting up a store profile and connecting payouts.

Do I keep control of pricing?

Yes. You set the offers and the prices attached to them.

What if I need to stop selling something?

Products can be withdrawn from listing while existing buyers keep the entitlement and the version they purchased.
