Step 1: Enable Marketplace products

A diverse marketing stack is going to help you grow your revenue faster. With Vendasta’s Marketplace, you can start reselling products and services from different marketing categories within minutes. Each product comes with all the materials your team needs to get started. And the best part is that it won’t cost you anything until you make a sale!

To enable a product:

1. Go to Partner Center > Marketplace > Discover Products.
2. Browse or search for products you want to enable. You can filter your search by category using the navigation tabs.

   

   1. If you need further details about the product, click on the product card. This will bring you to the Product Details card.
3. Once you’ve selected a product to enable, click the Add icon  on the bottom right of the product card, or click Enable on the Product Details page.
   If the product has a checkmark instead of a +, the product has already been enabled.

   

   

4. Select Add to Store Now or Add to Store Later.  
   Selecting Add to Store Now will lead you to create a product package. You can then choose to publish the package to your Store immediately, or save the package as a draft.
