The Developer Portal
The developer portal is where products and releases are managed from draft to live: what each section holds and what every state means.
Overview
The portal opens from inside your customer account and exists only for approved developers. An account without an application cannot reach the address at all.
It answers three questions: where your publishing stands, what your products and releases are doing, and whether your public profile is current.
Selling does not happen here. The portal publishes your card, stores your package and hands it to buyers; payment is taken on your own site.
Prerequisites
Structure
The portal has five sections, each answering a different question.
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Summary | Published products, total views, review count and average rating |
| Marketplace submissions | Each product's step from draft to live, and what is expected of you now |
| Developer Account | The certified mark, subscription state, account owner and whether the public profile is live |
| Recent products | Product cards: version, views, buy clicks, price and the reason a submission came back |
| Developer resources | Links to the docs, the Marketplace, the certification criteria and the request platform |
The product and release editors are sub-pages of the portal. From the product list, Manage opens the product editor and Releases opens its release list.
Walkthrough
Create your first product
- Select New Product. Without a subscription the button reads Subscription Required instead.
- Fill the editor section by section; the readiness meter at the top counts what is complete.
- Once every section is complete, Submit for Review becomes available.
Follow the state
- The submissions section shows each product's current step and says when something is expected from you.
- When changes are requested, the reason appears on the card. Correct it and send the product again.
- An approved product goes live and is listed under your profile in the directory.
Update your profile
- Select the gear icon on the Developer Account card.
- Edit the avatar, tagline, about text and contact addresses.
- Select Save Profile. The changes appear on your public profile immediately.
Reference
Example
The portal addresses are fixed, and both editors live underneath the same path.
/developer portal home
/developer/products product list
/developer/products/new new product editor
/developer/releases release listThese addresses exist only for an approved developer. Opened from any other account the page is not found. That is not a permission error; the address does not exist for them.
Pitfalls
Once a moderator picks up the record it cannot be edited or withdrawn. Make final changes before you submit.
Deleting works on drafts only. What you can do with a live product is retire it, which keeps its reviews and its buyers' access.
Even with a published profile, the directory lists only developers who have something published.
