Create a Dynamics 365 apps on Dataverse and Power Apps offer
This article describes how to create a Dynamics 365 apps on Dataverse and Power Apps offer.
Before you begin
Before you can publish a Dynamics 365 apps on Dataverse and Power Apps offer, you must have a commercial marketplace account in Partner Center and ensure your account is enrolled in the commercial marketplace program. See Create a commercial marketplace account in Partner Center and Verify your account information when you enroll in a new Partner Center program.
Review Plan a Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer. It will explain the technical requirements for this offer and list the information and assets you'll need when you create it.
Create a new offer
Sign in to Partner Center.
On the Home page, select the Marketplace offers tile.
On the Marketplace offers page, select + New offer > Dynamics 365 apps on Dataverse and Power Apps.
Important
After an offer is published, any edits you make to it in Partner Center appear on Microsoft AppSource only after you republish the offer. Be sure to always republish an offer after changing it.
New offer
Enter an Offer ID. This is a unique identifier for each offer in your account.
- This ID is visible to customers in the web address for the offer and in Azure Resource Manager templates, if applicable.
- Use only lowercase letters and numbers. The ID can include hyphens and underscores, but no spaces. The combined sum of the Offer ID and Publisher ID is limited to 40 characters. For example, if your Publisher ID is
testpublisherid
and you enter test-offer-1, the offer web address will behttps://appsource.microsoft.com/product/dynamics-365/testpublisherid.test-offer-1
. In this case, the segment, "testpublisherid.test-offer-1" is 28 characters long, which is within the 40-character limit. - The Offer ID can't be changed after you select Create.
Enter an Offer alias. This is the name used for the offer in Partner Center.
- This name isn't used on AppSource. It is different from the offer name and other values shown to customers.
- This name can't be changed after you select Create.
Associate the new offer with a publisher. A publisher represents an account for your organization. You might have a need to create the offer under a particular publisher. If you don't, you can simply accept the publisher account you're signed in to.
Note
The selected publisher must be enrolled in the Commercial Marketplace program and can't be modified after the offer is created.
Select Create to generate the offer. Partner Center opens the Offer setup page.
Alias
Enter a descriptive name that we'll use to refer to this offer solely within Partner Center. The offer alias (pre-populated with what you entered when you created the offer) won't be used in the marketplace and is different than the offer name shown to customers. If you want to update the offer name later, see the Offer listing page.
Setup details
On the Offer setup page, choose one of the following options:
Select Yes to sell through Microsoft and have Microsoft host transactions on your behalf.
If you choose this option, the Enable app license management through Microsoft check box is enabled and can't be changed.
Select No, if you prefer to only list your offer through the marketplace and process transactions independently.
If you choose this option, you can use the Enable app license management through Microsoft check box to choose whether or not to enable app license management through Microsoft. For more information, see ISV app license management.
To let customers run your app's base functionality without a license and run premium features after they've purchased a license, select the Allow customers to install my app even if licenses are not assigned box. If you select this second box, you need to configure your solution package to not require a license.
If you chose No in step 1 and chose not to enable app license management through Microsoft, then you can select one of the following:
Get it now (free) – List your offer to customers for free.
Free trial (listing) – List your offer to customers with a link to a free trial. The trial experience lets users deploy your solution to a live Dynamics 365 environment. Offer listing free trials are created, managed, and configured by your service and do not have subscriptions managed by Microsoft.
Note
The tokens your application will receive through your trial link can only be used to obtain user information through Microsoft Entra ID to automate account creation in your app. Microsoft accounts aren't supported for authentication using this token.
Contact me – Collect customer contact information in the Referrals workspace in Partner Center. You can also connect your customer relationship management (CRM) system to manage leads there.
Note
Connecting to a CRM system is optional. For more information about configuring your CRM, see Customer leads.
Customer leads
