Managing Listings

Learn how you can create listings, pursue sales leads, and grant team members access to the Oracle Cloud Console.

A listing is your sales pitch to potential customers. It can include videos, screenshots, slogans, product description, related documents, and more—all working together to deliver your message and sell your app or service.

Based on your publisher permissions, you can create app listings, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(OCI) application listings, or service listings.

• An Application Listing (Lead Generation Only) is for offerings designed to capture interest and gather sales leads. These listings don't have a deployable artifact on the marketplace
• An OCI Application Listing is for products that will integrate with OCI applications, such as Compute. The se apps provide enhanced functions or customizations for an existing OCI implementation. An OCI Applications Listing has a deployable artifact that's attached to the listing, and customers can launch this artifact in the Console.
• A Service Listing is for professional services, such as consulting, training, integration, or implementation, related to Oracle Cloud offerings. For example, you might offer a service that helps companies transition their business to the cloud.

Here’s the high-level process for creating and publishing a listing:

1. Start. You start by creating a listing. A listing showcases your app or service on Oracle Cloud Marketplace. It serves as the primary way for potential customers to discover, understand, and evaluate your offering. You can add information to your listing, preview the listing, and then revise it as needed. You can continue to preview and revise your listing until it’s exactly right. Ensure that your listing complies with the relevant publisher guidelines.

   If you’re approved to publish only app listings or only service listings, then the appropriate form opens automatically when you click Create listing. If you’re approved to publish app listings, OCI application listings, and service listings, then the system prompts you to select which type of listing you want to create. If you don't see OCI Application Listing as an option while creating a listing, contact Oracle Support to enable this option for your account.

2. Submit. After your listing is ready, submit it to Oracle for approval. We then review your listing and your app or service.

   What can you expect during the review?

   • For your listing, we review the content, might ask follow-up questions, and suggest some edits.
   • For apps, our review might include a technical architecture review, a security review, and a demo of the app.
   • For services, we need some proof of ability. For example, we might ask you to provide references from past clients. We need to verify that you can deliver the service you’re listing on the marketplace.

   During our review, you monitor our progress and respond to our requests or questions. After we approve the listing, we send you an email. If you opted to automatically publish your listing after it's approved, then the notification email contains a link to the live listing on Oracle Cloud Marketplace or it contains the custom URL for your listing if you had created one.

3. Publish. If you opted to automatically publish your listing after it’s approved, then the listing is automatically published to Oracle Cloud Marketplace after we approve it. If you opted to manually publish your listing, then you must publish your listing to Oracle Cloud Marketplace after we approve it. Your listing is publicly visible on the marketplace after you select Publish
